I own all 3 for different occasions. Naxos - special occasions Side effect - date nights Layton - office/casual

Absolutely agree. That being said, Side Effect is my favorite in my collection among these 3.

I do smell Vicks on the opening, but the dry down is a delicious warm apple pie scent that uplifts my mood every time I catch a whiff. It's so amazing.

[@Draken-l8p]

Naxos is an absolute masterpiece, it was my first ever niche fragrance and it got me so much compliments that i began looking for other fragrances that would keep up like naxos and i realized that turned me into a fraghead... all be it, it was a great entrance into this hobby

[@ilovebrocoli6068]

Layton smells like vicks vapor rub to me. Side effect is super strong. Naxos is the best... Nice honey and tobacco combo.

Layton definitely has a Vicks open but settles really nice on the dry down. Side Effect is incredible. Great choices.

[@Pathalp]

I have all 3 and love them. Layton is my most complimented and is the most versatile. I use Naxos in warm weather and Side Effect in cold weather.

Lemon, honey, and lavender is what I smell in Naxos. I think it’s a 4 season fragrance.

[@Lepetitvache]

all 3 are legendary and compliment monsters for me Layton: most ‘familiar’ and easy to love dna but the niche quality is what separates it. fall/winter daytime signature but it’s beautiful on spring/summer nights too Naxos: the most all year signature worthy out of the 3. oddly enough the most compliments for me come in the spring/summertime with this one day or night. the citrus and lavender are bright and really keep it from going too sweet and dense. it was made to represent sicily which in the summer can get up to 90+ so it makes sense Side Effect: one of the most luxurious and well done boozy vanillas you’ll smell and it’s an absolute powerhouse of a scent. dress it up or dress it down going out at night esp in the fall/winter. the side effect is feeling like you are HIM or HER or THEM. the most unisex of the and the most ‘moody’ ‘vampy’ vibe of them all

[@fila741]

I like your reviews. They are the most honest and straight to the point videos on YT. Layton - does not smell like Vick Vapor Rub. That is wild. Naxos - dries down to a Bogart Pout Homme

[@Sheo.G]

Only tried side effect and its a 11/10 imo, need to try the other 2

[@LILTRACUZ514]

Initio makes some great stuff, if you haven't already sample Psychedelic Love and Absolute Aphrodisiac from them they're 🔥

[@simonhunkeler7335]

I dont know Layton but love Side Effect and Naxos my Nr1..even layering works great

[@rokinrandy]

Naxos is the first one I’d consider paying over $150. I wear polo blue parfum in shorts and summer suit and tie. It’s the fire. Ramz silver is the fire all year round. . And Joop la parfum and wild are good to top on Naxos after 6-10 hours if needed to get through the day. To save on Naxos. That’s all the cologne a man ever needs. The rest is clutter

[@Leonard_Washington76]

I do get the menthol smell with Layton but I actual like it. Doesn’t smell like Vicks just get the cool menthol smell in the opening. But Layton is definitely a sexy fragrance

[@RafaelRodriguezVargas]

Found you channel by recommendation. You are one of the few fragrance content creators that is not obnoxious to listen to or that is obviously trying too hard. Love the way you describe these and your real life examples. You have a new sub!

[@ej.xxxx_]

I have never gotten any compliments on any of my frag collection, except on a decant of Side Effect and Herod. And both came from a girl I have a huge crush on! 😆😆 I guess its a sign to get a full bottle hahaha 😂

[@DjLoNYC]

Layton and Exclusif are my absolute favorite scents but Naxos is magnificent in every way. My top 3 easily. Looking forward to trying Side effect as soon as possible.

[@NicholasMatthews]

I found side effect overwhelming. Layton did kinda give me a medicine vibe sometimes so I think I can understand why some people pick up vicks. That's just my nose though, I'm like immune to the scent of BR540 aswell.

[@aborch1]

100% agree-would be the first niche entry fragrances. I would have added Creed Aventus too just because... is Aventus

[@HninSi-85]

I don’t smell Vicks at all on Layton, out of the three Layton is the best. Carlisle is the one smell like Vicks to me on opening which I hated at first then fell in love with it later 😂

[@hershelcoleman9002]

i am one that has tried Layton from three different sources and Ive figured out it has to be me. So its not made up that its coming off skin like vapor rub. i sprayed it on my wife and daughter and it smells totally different.

[@marhawk6468]

First time I smelled Layton on paper I hated it (smelt like Vicks). Then I sprayed it on skin and started liking it. Now it’s fully grown on me and love it

[@michaelslawski]

Ok, you were on your game! articulating these three fragrances in this video! I have listened to other reviews on these particular three... & I have told you this before, you have honed your reviewing skills over time. I Love the fact that it's your own personal thoughts & opinions which makes your wording so natural & "Spot On" I've been the frag game for a while. I dig your style, unrehearsed, & straight from the heart, & always respectful. Melissa, your legit & you smell good! :) just in case you were wondering....

[@ZEFFENWULF]

Side Effect is my favorite of all time

[@soccerman127]

When I blind-bought Layton, the first thing I noticed when I wore it was "This smells medicinal in the opening. But I can't put my finger on what it's reminding me of.. Oh, it's Vick's Vapo Rub"... But it DOES smell really good though, and it is my go-to fragrance

[@gbnjzl9643]

I can say it really depends on your skin. I've watched your spraying routine and that just doesn't cut it for me. I usually have to with 6 sprays of Naxos for it to actually perform on my skin. And I do moisturise beforehand. But if you guys are wondering which one is the most versatile, I would say go for Naxos. I've worn that gem at the office (3 sprays) and have gotten compliments. I wore it at the gym (3 sprays) and people have noticed it. Going out, no brainer. It's just an overall amazing scent. But to Melissa's point, not for the hot summer days!

[@allybrklyn]

I went, and I get ,alghabra eye of seven hill,instead of side effects,because I feel side effect lean more feminine ,they are in same vain but eye of seven hills feel more masculine leaning

[@forsythez]

Wow, to me Side Effect is fantastic. But Naxos gives me headaches. Love it!

[@zvikaso]

Spray Naxos one spray on the BACK of your neck, not the front, and let it engulf you as it dries down - you won't get headaches and you'll smell sexy. I layers scents, and you can layer Naxos with Ombre Leather to mellow it down (or with Carlisle / Oud Wood to boost its sexiness ).

[@forsythez]

@@zvikaso Bro I wish. Any whiff just makes me wheezy.

[@zvikaso]

@@forsythez Got it. I have the same thing with Oajan. Too pungent. If you like the scent profile, then try Carlisle. I find it similar to Naxos (on my skin) but with a different twist (that's why I layer them sometimes).

That menthol vibe people hate about Layton is SPECIFICALLY what makes Layton enjoyable in the summer. It would have been a cooler weather fragrance without the menthol vibe

[@blueberrypoptart2424]

What's crazy is that I've worn Naxos in the summer (only 1/2 spray) and it wasn't overwhelming at all, even in like 100°F Texas heat

[@cvn01]

Well yeah 1/2 spray is basically nothing. I’m from Texas too and I’d say 4-6 is perfect for going out at night and actually getting complements.
