PARFUMS DE MARLY LAYTON OR HEROD - WHICH IS THE BEST FRAGRANCE?

[@GreyCrowe]

Layton is a prince's fragrance. Herod is a king's fragrance.

@@BourbonInhibitions That's how I feel about Herod.

[@ItachiUchiha-yk6br]

For me personally, I would go with Herod no question ask. I do think layton is a better go for the majority but I know my personal preference which is tobacco and Herod just hits the spot. Especially with the older formulation that I only manage to get a decant of. The performance is a beast. The newer bottle still have decent 10h and above average projection but the smell to me is just breathtaking.

[@stevebollinger]

I love both. Layton is more versatile and can be worn deeper into the spring. But I like Herod slightly better.

[@ivanhernandez7395]

I bought samples for both and honestly, at first, I hated both, like they smelled too different from the “norm” but after wearing each for the whole day, and smelling myself and the projection, i like BOTH now, it’s crazy

[@ultime321]

First times I tried PDM I liked Layton best but I think Herod has become my favourite.

[@philiproberts7748]

I am totally in love with Layton. I like it so much that if i were to keep only one for life, it would be Layton (honorable mentions to Naxos and Burberry Brit, which I also love) :)

[@tabascosriracha]

Yeah Burberry Brit is an oldskool banger! 🔥

[@Hoopla10]

I get why Layton would win. Absolutely great fragrance. It's also got an edge in being more mass-appealing and can be worn over different seasons and occasions. Weathers getting warmer and I'm still wearing it but slowed down wearing Herod a couple of months ago. TV is still my favorite Fall wear tho'.

[@jordansmith3333]

PDM is an excellent house and Layton is one of my all time favorite fragrances. Glad it won this 🙌

[@Watpong]

I choose Layton for overall. For the scent profile I love Herod more than but poor longevity and less projection in currently batch are trash.

[@robertlovely1683]

Layton is an amazing scent, and well know by many. I feel like if people have not got their nose on a fragrance in the battle they have to vote for the one they have smelled. Maybe that is why Naxos and Ani did not move on. You never gave us your ranking. For future playoffs Would appreciate knowing afterwards how you would rank them.

Thats a hard decision to make but browsing through I'd say...Parfums de Marly Layton, Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia II, Moresque White Duke, Louis Vuitton L'Immensite, MFK Amyris Homme (EdT or Extrait). Few more that may be a tossup for top 5/top 10 to me are: Jovoy Incident Diplomatique, Kilian Straight to Heaven, Boadicea Hyde Park, Xerjoff Golden Green (or Golden Dallah), Fort & Manle Amber Absolutely, Royal Crown Tzar, Issey Miyake Noir Ambre.

Layton is a fragrance more aligned with the current trend of blue fragrances, which likely explains its broader popularity. However, it offers less character, in my opinion, and I believe there are fragrances with greater potential to become timeless classics and stand the test of time better than Layton. A great example of this would be Carlisle for formal winter occasions and herod for fall/winner night outs.

Layton is a little sweeter with the Apple, Herod is nice but on me is a tad harsh. Both are nice but I do wear Layton more often.
