The best Sedley clone that blows away Maahir Legacy is Fragrance World Posh Sirius . Higher quality then Legacy and much longer lasting . Problem is that it is rarely in stock and usually sold out . The closest clone of Althair is from Scentual Obsessions called Eagle Star . 90% + similar and just from a smaller Indie house that does incredible clones from their exact matches line !

Tried Hercules didn't like it went back to it after 4 weeks and it was amazing. Went back to the seller I asked him the price of 20 bottles of Hercules. Paid 13 quids each bottle. But now I know it's a waste because you don't need too many sprays as I was thinking before. Six sprays the Max and the stuff on me stays at least 10 to 12 hours

As far as PDM Layton goes, there's two that I'd go with: Luxodor Loyal Agar and Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu. Loyal Agar isn't super close (probably looking at no more than 85% similarity), but this one is beast-mode. Easily 12+ hours and doesn't disappoint. Exclusif Bleu is as close as it gets, so I'm surprised that this was looked over, considering the popularity it once had!

I got Detour Nior quite a while ago and its been sitting for a hot minute and still Im not sure how i feel about it. That Vicks Vapor rub smell that Layton comes with in the opening is defintely amped up in Detour Nior. Also Layton has more quality and apparent apple/vanilla too. I also get pretty dam poor performance from Detour Nior. Its hard because they are both no doubt very similar but The quality from Layton is noticably higher (which is of course expected given the drastic price difference). Might just be me but i would no doubt recommend Detour Nior if the performance was better.

I'm curious what is the opening like for Legacy? In your review of Eco you mentioned how it was very different from Haltane during the opening. As it went into the mid and dry down it became spot on, but that opening was different. How does the opening of Legacy compare to Eco and Haltane itself? I'm also curious how the North Stag one compares to The Woods Natural Dusk. You had mentioned previously that was probably your favorite Layton clone as it got closer than Detoir Noir. SO I'm curious where the North Stag sits compared to Dusk.
