Layton Exclusif
A fresh floral gourmand fragrance built around bergamot, lemon, iris, ambroxan, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Pegasus EDP
Bergamot opens things up cleanly before stepping aside almost immediately, letting heliotrope and almond take center stage in the heart — a powdery, almost confectionery pairing that reads warm and skin-close rather than sharp. Jasmine adds quiet floral depth without going feminine. The dry-down settles into sandalwood and vanilla, soft and creamy with moderate sillage that stays within a few feet. Projection is polite, longevity solid at six-plus hours. — Best in cold weather on someone who wants a crowd-pleasing, wearable signature that leans sweet without going full dessert.
How they overlap
Layton Exclusif and Pegasus EDP share 2 notes (bergamot, vanilla). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (5 unique to Layton Exclusif, 4 unique to Pegasus EDP) are where the divergence happens.
