People say: Commenters describe Leyden as close to Layton and a fresher take with more lavender and less vanilla and apple, but several report weak projection and short longevity, and one finds a watery scent.

Maison Alhambra Leyden Review - PDM Layton Vanilla Bomb! (opens in a new tab)I bought it twice and its not the best clone of Layton , it has a weird watery scent that ruins the entire fragrance.

Maison Alhambra Leyden Review - PDM Layton Vanilla Bomb! (opens in a new tab)I think it’s close but doesn’t perform as well you will need multiple sprays to wear over time.

PARFUMS DE MARLY LAYTON FOR $30?! MAISON ALHAMBRA LEYDEN COMPARISON TO PARFUMS DE MARLY LAYTON! (opens in a new tab)The only clone that maison Alhambra messed up is “ avant” which is the creed aventus clone. That one is trash. But the rest are actually spot on

MAISON ALHAMBRA LEYDEN Fragrance Review || Parfums de Marly Layton Clone (opens in a new tab)I agree that it’s not that powerful. After it dries the smell is nice. Not beast mode, it doesn’t perform great.

MAISON ALHAMBRA LEYDEN Fragrance Review || Parfums de Marly Layton Clone (opens in a new tab)I agree that it is a fresher take of Layton, more lavender and less vanilla and apple.
