The Extrait Upgrade
**The Scent Profile**
Al Haramain's *Amber Oud Exclusif Bleu* is widely considered the heavy-hitter of Layton clones. Being an Extrait de Parfum, it is denser, richer, and smoother than the original EDT. It captures the signature apple-vanilla-cardamom opening perfectly but dials down the 'menthol' vibe that some find sharp in Layton. As it dries down, the guaiac wood and creamy vanilla take center stage.
**Performance**
This is a certified Beast. Expect 10+ hours of longevity and strong projection.
**The Verdict**
For many, this makes owning Layton redundant. It smells 96% similar but performs better.
