The Royal Shadow of Vanilla and Woods

If Layton was the prince, Layton Exclusif is the king — darker, richer, more mysterious. Hamid Merati-Kashani transforms the fresh oriental DNA of the original into a shadowed mirror of power and opulence.

The composition opens with a polished metallic shimmer of Iso E Super, immediately grounded by the dry mineral heft of Norlimbanol and the resinous density of Patchouli and Guaiacwood. Beneath this regal woodiness lies a molten core of Vanillin, Ethyl Vanillin, and Coumarin, fusing into a creamy, ambered texture reminiscent of leather soaked in bourbon and honey.

The brightness of Bergamot, Mandarin, and Florol lifts the darkness with a refined citrus light, while Cypriol Oil, Boisambrene Forte, and Cistus build an undertone of smoke, amber, and animal warmth. Subtle spices — Cardamom, Cumin, and a trace of Pimento Berry Oil — pulse quietly beneath the smooth surface, giving the illusion of heat under glass.

✨ The Result

Layton Exclusif feels like velvet armor — noble and intoxicating.
It’s a fragrance of contrast: metallic light over syrupy shadows, vanilla over vetiver, order over indulgence.
An oriental fougère reimagined for a darker, more sensual age — both majestic and disarmingly human.
