The Verdict
Layton is our pick for its sweetness. Fakhar shares the apple, bergamot, lavender and geranium, and adds ginger, sage and juniper. Its base is tonka, cedar, amberwood and vetiver, though, with no vanilla or praline. So it's a drier, fresher take on the same opening. Layton finishes on patchouli, vanilla, guaiacwood and praline. Choose Fakhar if Layton is too sweet for you.
