Exclusif Royal Chariot

I got this in today. This smells heavier than Layton Exclusif for some reason. Mine has some dark juice in it. Quite macerated I would say. It is a good scent but maybe a darker take on Layton Exclusif possibly. Layton Exclusif had that Water LilY,Gardenia and Laotian Oud combination mixed with Apple and Geranium. YSL Eau Electrique also had that Apple Geranium mixture too. This one I cannot detect much Apple, Geranium, Water Lily or Gardenia. Still on it's own it is good. As a clone this is good. I give it a 80% similiar scent to Layton Exclusif. It is just too heavy to be closer to Layton Exclusif. I do not detect those original Watery Notes like in the original. This version is more earthy for sure. It is a pleasant scent nonetheless. A stronger Oud is present for sure than Layton Exclusif. This sort of reminds me of Unbreakable Vow but without the Apple. Which is also a good scent.

This is one of those Duas where it smells great in the air. I wouldn't recommend sniffing yourself up close after spraying because it's not that mass appealing up close. But in the air sells nice. I'm happy with it!

While it clones layton exclusif, I wouldn't say it's a solid clone. In the air it's very close, but you can tell the depth and joy of the original is missing. By joy I mean there's an underlying scent that smells really heavy, and I've noted it in many Dua's. It may just be this batch, but I didn't really enjoy this. It was fine for the air though.
