North Stag Expressions II Deux

Nose Note #995 Paris Corner usually lets me down, but not this time. I'll be comparing this to Royal Paragon side by side. They start off very differently. Royal Paragon is somewhat fresher and the top notes feel slightly more sour and overall different. The DNA is readable in both, but these two are different from each other. Royal Paragon feels a little more pop and North Stag a little more serious. Royal Paragon has subtle Boss Bottled vibes in the opening 5 minutes, North Stag does not. After about 10 minutes the differences become less and less significant. The scent is an dry apple-lavender combo with vanilla. All the other notes are hard to pick up. Men only. Longevity is above moderate, but not long lasting. It is stronger than Royal Paragon. 8/10, it's nice, but nothing very exciting. An easy scent.

#33 I am having Three 5ml samples in front of me of these. 1) Deteur Noir 2) Ibrahim Black Diamond iris 3) Expressions ii deux And I am happy for the fact that I finally got the best Layton Dupe . Why • Really high Quality Vanilla and Apple • They are blended very nicely. Loved it. Update : Let's understand performance of this product. It's like an explosion . Project really good within first hour than it just vanishes. Interestingly Lasting also fades along with projection. So if you looking for something to last better on clothes . May be Layering with Ibraheem 's Black diamond incense will be Good option as Black Diamond incense lasts hour+ . 9.5/ 10

It took me a bit of testing to decide if I like this one or not as I get that menthol smell in the beginning with the rest of the notes (layton did the same). The bottle improved as I let it sit a few weeks. the menthol smell is not in the drydown. It is a close match to Layton and reminds me of an apple pie. a great scent with good longevity of 7 hours that has become a commonly used fragrance in my collection. This is the best Layton clone and would consider buying again when out.

This might just be the best dupe for layton considering the price its at. instead of spending 80 or more on other dupes, try this. It needs time to sit though, took about 4 months until it shined for me. tried it next to layton and theyre basically the same, quality is very good and it lasts just as long as the original if not more. doesnt project as much and has a weaker sillage but its definitely enough. if it performs a bit weak, let is macerate for a few months.

Amazing scent and quality, longevity on the weaker side, lasted maybe 5-6 hours but it had a wonderful sillage tho, screaming for the first 2-3 hours. For $29 I can’t complain. Mine is 2024 batch but I just opened it and used it once maybe two weeks ago. Will give it a chance to macerate for a month or 2 and come back with an update if anything changes. 9/10 right of the box.
