What wearers say
“Goddamn this smells great! The most accurate Layton clone i've tried. I'll go as far as to say you don't need Layton with this. It delivers projection, longevity (way better than Layton actually), and QUALITY: No alcohol blast or nasty opening. It's very well blended and put together from start to finish. I've been wearing this for the past 3 days and i can't get enough of it. The presentation is also beautiful and considering the price tag on the whole package, this is well worth your money.Trust me, save your bucks and buy this instead of PDM.”
“Another hit from Orientica. Niche quality like.Scent is really good and well made. I haven’t tried Layton, but Royal Bleu is excellent, from opening until it fades. Solid performance up until 7 hours, plus 2-3 hours as skin scent.But maceration is MANDATORY. Mine was not good straight from the glass (was not bad but was confusing and no performance), but after two months, incredible. Worth the wait.”
“Good alternative for PDM Layton, but it's not the same. if i gave a percantage for the similarity it would be %85-%90. Layton has more vanilla and it feels darker than this. I think royal bleu has much less vanilla at the base and it has lime not the green apple to me. I can recommend this easily for good performance, smell, and for the good sillage.”
