Layton revisits lavender, beloved of eighteenth-century perfumery, with a modern sparkle. Crisp apple, bergamot and cardamom open the composition on a spicy freshness.
At heart, lavender blends with violet and geranium; the base, of patchouli, guaiac wood, vanilla and praline, gives it a gourmand, enveloping warmth. A contemporary fougère, elegant and generous.

Layton in detail
Parfums de Marly draws on the festivities of the Château de Marly and the court of Louis XV. Layton revisits the fougère, a classic family built around lavender, warming it with fruit and gourmand notes: an aromatic, vanilla fragrance, more enveloping than traditional fougères.
The official pyramid opens on apple, bergamot and cardamom, a fresh, fruity, spicy start. The heart brings together lavender, violet and geranium, the aromatic and floral trio of the fougère. The base pairs patchouli, vanilla, guaiac wood and praline, which give the fragrance its gourmand warmth.
Layton can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night: at the office on a cool day, at a dinner, in the evening.
Three fougères in our catalogue come close: 1725 Casanova by Histoires de Parfums shares bergamot, lavender and vanilla; Green Irish Tweed by Creed brings together bergamot, geranium, lavender and violet in a greener register; Naxos by Xerjoff pairs bergamot, lavender and vanilla, with honey and tobacco.
