Hi everybody, being in this brotherhood for a month opened my mind and above all my knowledge to a world of perfumes that I was not aware of, both niche and high-end. The third edition of my 3 in 1 SOTD will describe my feelings about 3 fragrances highly considered by our community: Tom Ford - Beau de Jour EDP Parfums de Marly - Layton Parfums de Marly – Percival I expected to like Beau de Jour and Percival, quite fitting to my “comfort zone”, but wanted also to slowly step out of it and try something new, and therefore added Layton to the trilogy of decants. I sprayed each sample twice in a day, on the wrists and on the side of the neck, and wrote down impressions and gave an evaluation at top, middle and base notes. But let’s go to the 3 fragrances: 3 day’s ago it was the turn of Tom Ford - Beau de Jour EDP Ok Guys, I had to sit down quickly…I thought to like it, but never I could have imagined something like that. I have several meters of Lavender in my garden, love it, but this opening is just overwhelming, strong and at the same time delicate, floral but never too sweet. After some time, I recognized mint, for sure, all the other listed notes are still too difficult for me to recognize, sorry. Very good persistence, over 8h. But this fragrance is not a question of single notes, it a wonderful blended mixture, elegant, masculine without being dominant, stylish, really gave me self-confidence. My votes for the 3 phases where one better than the other, easily a 9,5/10 altogether (my best vote so far was a 7,8/10). It’s for sure my new Number 1 Fragrance 🥳 !! 2 day’s ago I went on discovering Parfums de Marly - Layton After my experience with Beau de Jour, it could only have gotten worse, and it did get worse 😭. Ready to get all your insults 😅, I now a lot of us love Layton !! The opening: very very nice, still difficulties in recognizing apple, but the rest is clear. Fresh, Crispy, Aromatic…7,5/10 The Drydown: a lot of flowers coming out, jasmine I recognize for sure, quite sweet, nothing impressive. Medium persistence, or better said not strong enough in the drydown.
