What Wearers Say
Lattafa Asad
One wearer enjoys the vanilla-and-woods drydown after the spicy opening.
The same wearer finds the first spray harsh and is disappointed by how long it lasts on their skin.
Parfums de Marly Layton
One wearer enjoys its smooth balance of spice and fruity sweetness.
Another owner likes creamy cardamom, fresh apple and lavender over warm vanilla.
Some wearers find it sweeter than they want.
Some wearers dislike the vapor-rub-like opening, although one finds the sweeter drydown more enjoyable.
The Verdict
Layton is our pick for the apple-and-lavender style: apple, bergamot and cardamom, then lavender, violet and geranium, over vanilla, praline and guaiacwood. Asad goes darker, with black pepper, pineapple and tobacco, then coffee and iris over amber, vanilla and resins. One wearer likes Asad's woody vanilla drydown but finds the opening harsh. If you want Layton's profile for less, Lattafa's Fakhar, with apple, lavender and geranium, is closer than Asad.
