I received this bottle yesterday and was not disappointed on my test sniff! After I went home I decided to give this its first run as a Bedtime scent. The interesting thing for me when I did that is I immediately was reminded of YSL L'Homme EDP. In a good was as I love that fragrance as well. It was a light test with only 1 spray on my chest maybe a touch got on my pajama shirt and 1 spray to walk through. The longevity was great. Woke up this morning and the scent was still there, not overpowering, but you didn't have to hunt for it either. The Vanilla and Sweet come out of the gate hard with the amber and powder right on its heals. I don't get a lot of spice from this at all, but we will see how it goes. I'm wearing it for a full day today as well. I'll be in the office and then to the city for plenty of outside time so it will be interesting to see how it does in that environment. I am also curious to see how the scent may change as the bottle rests for a few weeks in my collection because of the temp swings in shipping? Not sure if that is a "Thing" but it makes sense in my head. Even though its early, I am glad I bought this upon everyones advice. Hope you all have a great day!!

Many of you were asking about this one, and I’m not great with fragrance descriptions, so I’m having my buddy Chad G Petee (this is my ChatGPT’s formal name lol) describe it for us. I think it’s spot on as I find it much darker and spicier than I do fresh. Musamam Black Intense by Lattafa is a woody-aromatic fragrance with warm, spicy, and slightly gourmand characteristics — modern, bold, and confident with a noticeable dry-down. What it smells like - Opening (first minutes):A fresh yet spicy aromatic burst — bright citrusy bergamot meets herbal sage and classic lavender, rounded by a warm nutmeg spice that gives it a masculine, invigorating start. - Heart (mid-stage):As it settles, it becomes woody and structured, with cedarwood anchoring the scent and floral hints from geranium and Rosyfolia™ that add refinement without feeling overly sweet. - Dry-down (base):The base introduces a rich, warm, slightly gourmand vibe — maple wood, tonka bean, and patchouli create depth and earthiness, while CocoPulse™ adds a creamy, cocoa-like warmth and Ambrofix™ gives ambery, resinous longevity. Overall this part feels cozy, slightly sweet-woody, and quite sensual. Overall impression Musamam Black Intense evolves from a crisp, spicy-aromatic opening into a deep, warm, woody-gourmand finish. It often reads as more masculine, refined, and modern rather than purely fresh — suitable for cooler weather or evening wear. If you want a concise sensory image: fresh herbal spice up top → woody floral heart → warm, creamy, slightly sweet and ambery base.

Having a night out with the boys. Dominoes, cigars and food so I’m bound to have a good time. This fragrance right here is fire! The Cinnamon stick and black cherry in the top notes makes it open up delightfully which is followed by the fizzy cola (still can’t believe that’s a scent) and then the dry down with the Tonka beans and the powdery vanilla makes this just sit on your skin. Thanks to brother @George Hernandez for putting me on to this gem right here

The choice of Parfums de Marly Layton significantly alters the psychological and emotional profile of the fragrance pairing, and it is a phenomenal fit for this sophisticated, earth-toned outfit. Layton is a masterful choice for this outfit. It elevates the aesthetic from quiet refinement to one of noticeable, charismatic, and contemporary power. *AI Analysis

Had to do it 2 days in a row.... Completely matches the vibe of the outfit and the day. It's a powerhouse leather scent that speaks to luxury and boldness, matching the sophisticated purple.
