Thanks for this video. It hasn’t wowed me enough yet after a sample very early in my journey and some occasional sprays at the store. Been contemplating just pulling the trigger on a bottle if I see a discount. I think I’ll get another more substantial sample and give it some good wears. If I end up loving it I will then look at investing in the full presentation. At my current rate though a 10ml of anything could probably last me years lol
First time I tried this it blew my mind. Smell was true 10/10. I’ve since tried other batches and they are nowhere close to being as good. Made me never pull the trigger unfortunately
Layton is my favorite. Gets me plenty compliments. I agree with the Batch variations. Did some research and I was told that the scent needs to sit a bit. Not sure if there’s any truth to that tho. Anyways, great review bro
I buy my PDMs bottles and samples/decants from other trusted fragheads on Instagram/ Facebook for a good price. With Layton I’m a madman, I do like 8-10 sprays
Pretty sure Layton has been reformulated in recent years. When I first got my nose on it a few years ago it smelt different to the one I have now. And not in a good way. It also doesn’t perform as well. It blew my mind when I first experienced it. Now I wouldn’t pay the price for it.
Nice video. Ah Layton, the best scent to spray on clothes. Its because of that menthol note that I stop wearing my layton. The layton exclusif got rid if it but you lose the linearity of the original layton meaning layton exclusif starts out as a mentholess layton but morphs into a different fragrance midway. And the performance on layton exclusif is poor compared to the original layton. But, as a fragrance for clothes, nothing bears layton! It last for days/weeks on clothes! Never losing its vanilla scent profile. So layton on clothes, and a different frag on skin. Try it you will smile each time you put the shirt/hoodie/sweater on lol
This is a great brake down! You’re right the performance on clothes is great. If the Exclusif version is a dark fuller mature version of Layton, I think I would like it more
Lol funny video, Layton is a nice fragrance, grew on me too, but I prefer the Exsclusif, the menthol/vix vapour rub smell slightly confuses me also, but dry down gets better like you said! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Blank phantom 😁 but Layton is much easier and versatile to wear once you get use to that menthol note I’ve got more videos of fragrances I think are really good I just need to film the videos 😁
My samples weren’t official ones from PDM they were from people I know. I had a quick look online and some people are saying there are some variations in performance but I don’t know how true that is
hey brother, quick question about your hair. do you shave with a razor or some electrical trimmer? i always get bumps, so i would appreciate some tips!
I get bumps sooo easily too. When I used a electrical trimmer recommended by another bald black men, I had the worse razor bumps. I use a razor surprisingly. I use the Wilkinson sword hydro 5 sensitive and shave in the direction of where my hair grows lightly but firm enough to get close to the skin. I shave straight after a hot shower I use the body shop maca root & aloe shaving cream and post shave water gel after and occasionally I use tend skin solution after (because the alcohol caused discolouration in my experience) This worked for me after my skin got use to the routine. But If I leave my hair to grow for like a week I get very little razor bumps so I have to constantly shave every 2-3 days Hope this helps
Aaron Terence Hughes said the menthol in the opening is eucalyptus 😎 Personally i like that! I also do think there is batch variations. I remember 3 years ago it was so green apple heavy ( sour green apple ) and very heavy on vanilla. Bottle i have made 2019 is more eucalyptus, sandalwood, cardamom and patchouli heavy. Not sure which one i prefer but both are beasts tho 🤷♂️
@@TrustedNose if you've smelled amouage interlude man, then you'll have a good idea of what exclusif is like if you picture Layton and interlude together LOL. It smells to me as if Layton and interlude had a baby. Like 60% Layton and 40 interlude. It is pretty much Layton without the apple 🍏 + a really really dry smokey oud ( not synthetic or rubbery or anything ) just really dry and smokey. But of course, Layton exclusif is much easier to wear and will get you compliments. I really like it myself but don't own it 👊
Great review Bro I really enjoyed it . 👏 Layton is definitely a crowd pleaser , my Wife gifted me my Bottle for my 40th Birthday and I wore it to my Birthday BBQ . Everyone said how Awesome I smelt !! 😃👌 keep up the good work mate !! 👍
I brought this for my 12 year old and now his dad and uncle try to steal it He also is trying out pegasus exclusive (or whatever it's called) and he likes that one also.
Segzy fragrance
Who liked my Trey Songz impression at the end of the video ?..... 😁
Great review! Thank you for sharing!

Layton is so good! Fab review as always 👌🏾
Layton is good I need to try the Exclusif version soon though apparently it’s better
Hi mate, what year is your bottle? Thinking of picking this up!
For the performance let it mature..had the same issue with my second bottle and I let it sit for a few months now it’s like my first bottle
Layton is my favorite fragrance. And it’s in my sexy fragrances collection along with Side Effect.
LOOL the Trey songs 😂😂 such a fantastic review 💪🏽💪🏽 Layton is such a great scent
It’s great once your nose adjusts to that menthol note
I just need to get my bottle of Herod then I will be satisfied with my small PDM collection
First time I tried this it blew my mind. Smell was true 10/10. I’ve since tried other batches and they are nowhere close to being as good. Made me never pull the trigger unfortunately
I’ve never tried this one but I have layton exclusif and I love it. It wasn’t love at first sniff but it’s grown on me 😅😅😅
Exact same thing with me and Layton. I will try Layton Exclusif soon
I did not like Layton exclusif, but Layton is a beast and get a lot of compliments.. And even better is ‘Carlisle’
Is it reformulateddd??? please help me out im planning to buy 21 or 22 batch?
Don't buy it until you test latest 2022 batch!
I own Layton and I love it. Very good performance on my skin, on clothes...wow that's another story. Great review 🤜🏾🤛🏾💯
Thank you for stopping by 🤝

Thank you 🤝 and thank you for stopping by
What do you mean by “ needs to sit a bit” ??
Where do you buy your pdm and decants? How many sprays do you spray with Layton and where? Love it so much with kalan
I buy my PDMs bottles and samples/decants from other trusted fragheads on Instagram/ Facebook for a good price. With Layton I’m a madman, I do like 8-10 sprays
Another brilliant review! Layton is a good one 👍

If you had to pick between Layton or Halfeti Penhaligon what would you buy?
Halfeti, it’s more interesting and original smelling than Layton
Also what’s your top 3 clubbing / night fragrances
Lol funny video, Layton is a nice fragrance, grew on me too, but I prefer the Exsclusif, the menthol/vix vapour rub smell slightly confuses me also, but dry down gets better like you said! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Exclusif version gets a lot of love, I need to get my nose on it
What do you think of Pegasus the normal one not the exclusive? You are my favorite fragrance reviewer. Love your style.
Thank you sir 🙏🏽🙏🏽 decent juice but personally I would get a clone/inspiration
Do you prefer Layton or Kilian’s Black Phantom ?
Blank phantom 😁 but Layton is much easier and versatile to wear once you get use to that menthol note
I’ve got more videos of fragrances I think are really good I just need to film the videos 😁
I only have the perfume parlour clone of this and I really love the smell now. Started off as just a like then it grew to a love!
Perfume parlour have really good clones in general. Layton was just a like for me at first but then it grew on me too
@@TrustedNose Yeah they do. You should try their Herod. That one is one of my favourites!
Get yourself the real deal! You'll enjoy it for years with the big bottle 🙌
Wow 😳 don’t want this to hit the toe. Yes I want to know what the cats and dogs say😊 fun to watch your review of this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you
Interesting about the batch variation, usually I find the samples don't perform as well as the bottle so you could be right!
My samples weren’t official ones from PDM they were from people I know. I had a quick look online and some people are saying there are some variations in performance but I don’t know how true that is

@@TrustedNose Thank you very much! I will try doing it like this.
the 2016 performance is beast mode
my last decant @2020 had less performance

Do you think it's a unique scent nowadays, especially to most people outside of the fragrance community?
Nahh It’s not a unique scent if they don’t pick up on the menthol smell. But if they do, they might say so.
