Parfums de Marly Layton
Fruity, aromatic, sweet, woody, vanilla-rich, and spicy.
Top Notes: Apple, Bergamot, Cardamom
Heart Notes: Lavender, Violet, Geranium
Base Notes: Patchouli, Vanilla, Guaiac Wood, Praline
Layton opens with crisp apple, bergamot, and cardamom before lavender, violet, and geranium create an aromatic floral center. Vanilla and praline make the base warm and smooth while patchouli and guaiac wood add darker woody depth. The fragrance balances freshness and sweetness unusually well, keeping the apple-lavender opening recognizable even as the drydown becomes richer. Its strong projection and long wear make it one of Parfums de Marly’s most versatile high-impact signatures.

When to Wear It
This balance of fruit, spice and vanilla works well for social occasions, relaxed nights out and transitional seasons, with a lively opening that keeps the sweeter drydown from feeling limited to nighttime.

Summary
Summary
Parfums de Marly Layton is a high-performance fruity-aromatic Eau de Parfum built around apple, lavender, vanilla, and woods. Apple and bergamot give the opening a crisp freshness while cardamom adds warm spice. Lavender, violet, and geranium create a polished aromatic center before vanilla and praline bring sweetness to the drydown. Patchouli and guaiac wood keep the base grounded and prevent the fragrance from becoming purely gourmand. Created by Hamid Merati-Kashani and released in 2016, Layton remains one of the Maison’s current signature fragrances. Its 8+ wear and strong projection make it versatile enough for everyday use but especially effective in cooler weather, date nights, and going out.
