It Christmas very
Almost every day I was busy with V&R, because I couldn't decide if it would be the classic fragrance or the "Extreme" version. In the end I chose the winter/warm version because it's not so loud. Extreme he is by no means, find the normal bomb much more intrusive. This one comes with the foot through the door.
In autumn, when it gets cooler, I'm already looking forward to wearing SBE. It just fits this time of year. The days become greyer, the trees lose their leaves and it becomes damp and foggy.
But SBE starts where many people get a foothold in the darker seasons.
It caresses the wearer with a warm note. It smells nice and spicy with a gourmand sweet. It reminds strongly of the contemplative Christmas season at home with the family in front of the fireplace or at a Christmas market. The snow trickles quietly and the hand-warming mulled wine with a spicy note through the cloves and cinnamon sticks rises to the nose. You cuddle up together and enjoy the time with the people you like.
On the whole a very great fragrance that earned me many compliments. It has an attractive effect on the female sex, but it should be noted that it is only noticed after a few hours (approx. >6h) if you are very close. In a warmer environment, e.g. when you are inside, this changes quickly again. The top note gives me a headache when I smell it too often and too close like in the beginning when I was almost addicted to it.

Time travel in the year 2007...
I was standing in the drugstore and I saw this bottle. I was almost ashamed to pick him up. My pride made me hesitate, "after all, you are acting in the niche segment" I thought to myself. Look to the left, look to the right. Nobody here! All right, let's go. Test strip, sprayed on and slowly led my nose:
Flashback into the year 2007... It is autumn and so slowly the trees lose their colourful leaves. It storms strongly and so slowly a fog came up. I just got out of the nice hot shower with a fresh shower. In the haze of memory I see myself dressed in underwear standing in my children's room until suddenly from a distance a "Uh-Oh" sounds. It was the notification tone from the famous messenger with the green flower. Full of excitement I ran to the computer with tube screen at that time. A girlfriend I met at the time wrote me if I would like to stop by. "Of course" I wrote back, I had already finished school at 13:00 o'clock, it is Friday. I wonder if that was a good idea After all, it's a girl. Alone to her? What do you do then? Are her parents home? Is this a date yet? Questions about questions that went through my head.
She was 14, almost 15 years old and I was still 13. She secretly opened the front door for me, after all her parents were not allowed to know that a boy was coming by. Arrived in the attic apartment I already got an oriental male scent in my nose which vanished relatively fast because the window was still open. I didn't think anything of it and lay on the sofa with her. We cuddled, talked about God and the world but suddenly... Again! An oriental spicy scent rose into my nose... I was starting to get worried. Is she up to something with the Italian from the 9th? But then it came to me, it was her cuddly toy that smelled like it! I just had to talk her into it. With a laugh she stood up, ran to the cupboard and took out a bottle of Bruno Banani Man and confessed to me her sensual love for this fragrance. She almost went crazy when she smelled him. The bottle looked valuable and had something unique with the slanted stand. I only knew him from commercials. This bald guy with the leather jacket and women stroking him. I also remembered the slogan again. "Bruno Banani, not for everybody".
I carefully sprayed the scent first on the back of my hand to make friends with him and finally on my neck. After all, nothing could go wrong. A better precision landing couldn't have happened to me.
You can imagine the rest of the story. It became a long day that stretched into the night. Without light I walked secretly down the stairs and closed the door behind me. On the way home, two things came to my mind. On the one hand the euphoria and feelings of happiness and even after 10h a sweet delicious vanilla...
Meanwhile, my shame has passed. I grabbed the wrapper and took it to the cash register. About 20€/50ml. A great price, but after all it's just a drugstore smell. Unfortunately, I have to say that the scent is no longer what it once was. Unfortunately, the durability has decreased a lot and also the fragrance composition seems to be slightly different to me. Nevertheless, you don't do anything wrong with him. Mainstream scent from old times, which fits to every occasion. Whether in the office, to go out or simply to indulge in the memories :-)

"...here it smells like a brothel"
First of all it has to be said that I will not go into the scent of the individual notes. It's more about a field report about the first meeting with Layton and going out together.
Layton is one of my first fragrances of Parfums de Marly. How did I get into this? I stood in Munich in a renowned perfumery and wanted to try Layton's older brother. Pegasus.
However, the bottle was empty and the nice lady offered to give me a sample as it was still in stock. Arrived at home and looked into the bag she even packed me 2 samples.
Once Herod and "unfortunately" no Pegasus. It was Layton. Strongly disappointed by the lady's competence I sprayed the Layton on the back of my hand. I got kicked out of the kitchen chair halfway when that scent went up my nose. Such a strong prelude and room-filling like no other fragrance from me. A spicy-sweet prelude with the said apple note. I didn't have to smell more than the top note. The decision had been made. It's almost too sweet for the summer, but a look at the weather forecast said to me:
"Perfect. The evenings will be below the 20°C mark, you have to order Layton now. This will be your new scent for going out!"
No sooner said than done, 3 days later it rang and the postman handed me the package just in time for the start of the weekend. Unpacked immediately and almost shot through the parquet floor. In the heat of the moment, the heavy lid almost slipped out of my hand and almost knocked the tenant to death one floor below me.
In any case, a very high-quality feel and top workmanship with a lid that is felt more than twice as heavy as the full bottle itself. Quite an eye-catcher in every collection!
A look at the clock told me that I had to leave as soon as possible, because 3 colleagues were waiting for me. We drove to Rottweil, 80km away, because we had tickets for an event in the most famous location of the area. Just before going out, a friend wanted to use my perfume. I don't usually do this because I don't want anyone in the group to smell the same as me. But since I never smelled the scent on anyone else before and I wanted to put the durability and Sillage to the test, I sprayed him and me behind the ears. He just wrinkled his nose. No comment on the fragrance.
When the other friend entered the room, he just laughed and said: "Boah, that is disgusting... "It smells like a brothel. We all laughed and finally walked towards the party. To be honest, my laughter was artificial because I was a little offended and uncertain whether Layton was really THE fragrance I had imagined. But suddenly a distant cry came from behind: "That's insane how the scent radiates, we can even smell it from behind! It smells much better now than it did at the beginning, not so fruity!".
That must be the heart note now, I just thought to myself and turned around. He projects untrue while running loosely over 5m! Geil thought I just and went self-confident and radiant like a honey pie horse in the club.
It must have just been a grenade. Due to the hot/humid atmosphere in the club, Layton has already taken almost half the dance floor despite >6h wearing time. Although there were few openly expressed compliments, men turned around both women and men as they walked by and looked after them. Judging by the facial expressions, it was predominantly a positive contact with the little horse. At 6 o'clock in the morning the long celebration was already over but not for the scent. Of course the Sillage was mostly gone but still perceptible at 30cm.
Unfortunately I don't have more impressions of Layton, which will change with the cooler weather! In summary, I can only say: Go for it! A great fragrance for autumn/winter or cooler spring/summer evenings. But be careful! In my opinion, this fragrance above 20°C is almost a no-go in the public eye. Much too present and intrusive.
I hope I could write you a little insight into my first experience :-)
