I got a small sample of this with my order of 10 Years (which is terrific) and whilst Layton isn't my favourite fragrance this is very good and is probably the closest clone I've sampled compared to the original.
If you enjoy Layton this is the one I'd recommend and with how close to the OG and the performance it has I can only give it a 5 star rating
Hi Stewart, thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed Versailles Elixir and found it such a close match to Layton. It’s great to know you also loved 10 Years! We truly appreciate your support and thoughtful feedback, it means a lot to us.
The samples are very time consuming to make up but they seem to be highly treasured by all.

I got this as a sample with my full bottle purchase of Kill Devil and this is so lovely.
Never smelt the original this is based but this is definitely a scent I will certainly that I will be looking to get a full bottle of!

Nailed it with this. Smells exactly like PDM Layton. Highly recommend.

There are plenty of houses that do a decent interpretation of Layton. Without exception, they are all missing the "pop" in the opening of the original. THIS is as close as anyone has ever made it! Easily the closest and I have a "Layton Nose"!

This is a lovely scent, with excellent projection. I initially selected it as part of a 15ml bundle set and liked it so much that I bought the bigger bottle. I'm happy to recommend it and get lots of comments when I wear it.
