What People 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
Choose Asad for pepper, coffee and resinous vanilla. Choose Layton for apple and bergamot followed by lavender, violet and a vanilla-praline base. An Asad wearer enjoys its woody vanilla drydown but finds the opening harsh and wear disappointing; sample it if either issue would matter to you. Layton is the more relevant option when fruit and aromatic florals are what you want.
