Good review, thanks! Yes, yes, definitely not a blind buy! Only distantly related to Layton OG imo. There is a slight sweetness to the fragrance, but I would say that the woods are much more prominent (especially guaiac wood and a clean medicinal oud). The "woody notes" are totally different to the ones you'll find in a designer fragrance, and if Layton is a very high quality "designer style fragrance", Exclusif is the full on niche version! Notino UK is currently selling 125ml for 220GBP, which is a very good price.
Yes the guaiac wood is definitely prominent! So many words for this fragrance, I enjoy it so much. Wow I checked Notino the other week and it wasn’t that cheap! Great buy.
@@simmscents Yep. If I liked it I'd definitely be pulling the trigger. Fortunately for my wallet, my 10ml decant will be more than enough for me 😂 Not my favourite scent, although i appreciate PdM doing something different.
@@adriatics.3357 definitely. And I always hear people say it’s basic and known, but that’s only within the community. Trust me you’re gonna stand out and get hella compliments
This is the only real mens fragrance from PDM. I let my wife tried out literally every other supposed to be mens PDM and none of her friends said she smells like a man 😂
Yes Exclusif definitely had some extra character - I like the OG but as you say, the extra darkness and depth to the Exclusif makes it my favourite out of the two! Thanks for your comment

@@david-2 are you a fan of the darker Frederic Malle fragrances? A few of those are catching my eye.
@@simmscents I tried Portrait of a Lady and I had to scrub it off! 😂😂
@@simmscents What is the best spray distance for projection?
Definitely gonna get this as my signature
Considering to blind buy this as my first ever niche fragrance. Found a good deal. What do you say? Worth it?

I haven’t smelt this but I’m sold 🤝
Christian Grey kinda fragrance. Think you’ll love it mate!
this one i bought 2 bottles of 125 mls thats how i love this frafrance
Yes I love it too. So good.
I sold my Layton and ended up buying this instead, the OG was too screechy and basic. I love the bit of darkness and added character the exclusif has.

There's nothing quite like Layton Exclusif and I enjoyed it (a lot!) until, one day, the guaiac wood reminded me of a tarmac tipper truck. I sold it.
Ah well at least you got enjoyment for it for a while! I’ve also had times where I’ve lost love for a fragrance. Thanks for your comment!
Hey bud, just posted a video on my channel highlighting you my friend.
Thank you mate - really appreciate it 👊
