First niche fragrance - First love
My chapter in the world of fragrances began with Layton.
I was very skeptical at first because two years ago, as an 18-year-old, I thought: "Who would be stupid enough to spend €200 on a single fragrance?" "It won't make that much difference." At the time, I only had Bleu de Chanel (EdP) and Versace Eros (EdT) for reference. Bought both perfumes on offer. For me personally, a perfume from 60€ upwards was already very expensive.
Now to the actual fragrance.
Layton starts with a strong, yet pleasant sweetness and spice. So it's not a headache fragrance, unlike the Versace Eros (EdT) in my eyes - no front :) I hardly notice the floral notes, if at all, which may be due to my less trained nose. I like the drydown very much and it just reminds me of the beautiful Christmas season.
The fragrance lasts 7-8 hours on my combination skin and even longer on my clothes. You can argue about the price, but for me it was worth the price. Layton was my first niche fragrance and for me personally is a good starter in the niche world of perfumes. Definitely a blind buy for me, but it's better to get a sample - money doesn't grow on trees ;)
Finally, a short poem:
First love, so tender and pure.
A fragrance that touches the heart, in the flow of time alone.
A fragrance that surrounds me and hurries my senses.
Layton from the House of Marly, a treasure that I now wear.
A perfume that accompanies me on the path of the niche, without question.
