 I actually might like it a little more than the original Layton. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here today. I want to do a little review on this King Fragrances Royal Essence, their version of Layton, the classic Layton. Now King Fragrances is a pretty interesting house. They have their own little punch that they put into certain fragrances. And I just reviewed the, they're like a Ventus clone, which I actually really appreciated the little touch they put in there. I felt like it made it a little bit more dirty, a little bit more sexy. So I do like that they're not just making the same clone. They're kind of like having their own way to give it a unique vibe in a good way. I always appreciate something like that. Let's jump into the notes of the original Layton. The notes are Apple, Lavender, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, Geranium, Violet, Jasmine, Vanilla, Cardamom, Sandalwood, Pepper, Petruly and Guyak Wood. Layton to me is just kind of like this really niche fragrance that kind of balances between a designer and a niche at the same time. Very, very likable, kind of sexy, but also like not too sexy at the same time. You'd only want, it's not like something you'd only want to wear for a day. You could wear it every day. The pros of this fragrance is that it has that sweet, good Layton vibe and it pulls it off very, very good. Layton to me is sexy, it's sweet, but then it's also very, very versatile. Like, you know, a lot of really sexy, sweet fragrances, they almost start to smell feminine or they start to smell like you're trying to really garner a sexy compliment, almost putting yourself too out there. This one has a lot of that sexiness to it, but then it also is kind of a little bit classic. This is probably a little bit better in the cool weather similar to Layton. Not too much of a hot weather fragrance, but again, it's very versatile. It's just something that everybody's going to like. And like I said, there's very few fragrances that pull off this very sexy vibe without putting yourself too far out there. And this one definitely pulls it off, balances between designer and niche, very similar to Layton. I really, really do enjoy it. All right, guys, let's jump into the mixed aspects of this fragrance. The mixed is that extra King's fragrances punch to this fragrance. Now, like I just said, they could do a little extra here to give it that King fragrances punch and initially I was going to say that I liked the way that they did it with Aventus more actually for like it kind of accentuates parts of Aventus and makes it a little bit more sexy, a little bit more dirty. And initially on first smell, I was like, like Layton has like a clean, delicious vanilla vibe. And for a second, I was like that extra dirty sexy cologne vibe. I don't know if it fits too much for Layton, but I was just trying to spray something up to get a fragrance to smell. I think it was Alexandria fragrances Layton clone, which is also very good. I really liked an aspect of this once I smelled the Alexandria. So I'm like, wow, so that little extra dirty cologne vibe, I actually might like it a little more than the original Layton, but I have to do more testing and that's why it's in the mix. Initially I would have said it was a con, but now I'm kind of coming around to it and actually might end up being a pro. All right, guys, jumping in the cons of this fragrance to be honest, I don't really have too many. It's not a direct clone of Layton. So if you're somebody who really wants a performance to Marley Layton and you want a dead on 100% clone, I don't know about going for this one. But like I said, I really, really enjoy it and I actually might like the things that they changed up and then the projection here was above average and I remember Layton kind of being above average tipping into strong. I felt like Layton has a little bit more of an EDT style vibe where it jumps a little farther away from my memory. Personally, this kind of stayed a little bit close, but it had a bubble for a long, long time. So again, it's hard for me to put that in the cons. I really almost don't have any cons to be honest with you. If I were to give it a smell rating like probably give it like an 8.5 smells really, really good. I like that they took a little bit of risk like ability. It's going to be a nine. It's just really, really likable, but it's also robust and a little bit classic at the same time. So I just think like ability is definitely a nine on this one. Long Jevdian projection map to give it a 7.5 to an eight well above average and very, very good, very enjoyable. I didn't write up some situations for this, but it's very, very similar to Layton with the just an added little tent of it's a little bit more like a cologne. It's a little bit more dirty. It's a little bit more sexy, but it's very, very similar to Layton. So okay for the gym, not the best thing. Pretty solid for a date. Not the best thing I would take, but I could see this being a very, very good date fragrance. I think this is just an everyday fragrance when you live in a little bit of a cooler environment. I've had people at like places say that they had people come in try to buy a Ventus and then they put them on to Layton and I could see why because it actually is really, really, really good. And I do like the little nuances that they put here really enjoying King fragrances. And I actually do like the little extra dirty touch that they put on these fragrances. So let me know what you think of King fragrances. Let me know what you think of Royal Essence. What do you think of Parfume, Stomari, Layton? Do you like it? What do you think of King fragrances?
