Layton Exclusif לעומת Sauvage Elixir

Layton Exclusif by Parfums de Marly is viewed positively by the r/fragrance community as a quality niche fragrance worth owning. While it appears in multiple respected collections, it receives less detailed discussion than other fragrances, though one collector noted they chose Carlisle instead for broader appeal and larger bottle size.

Sauvage Elixir is a polarizing fragrance with confirmed multiple reformulations that have weakened its legendary performance, especially in 2024-2025 batches. While original formulations were exceptionally strong and long-lasting with a spicy-woody character, recent versions have significantly reduced projection and altered the scent profile, disappointing long-time fans. The fragrance remains powerful enough to be overwhelming for many users, making it best suited for mature wearers and cold weather wear in minimal quantities.
