Firstly, the opening is not the same as PDM Layton. We all love the smooth apple opening of PDM Layton, but Loyal Agar starts with dry amber and bergamot, which is very distant from the PDM Layton. First of all, the price range of Royal Equestrian is pretty good. It’s neither much costly nor cheap. And probably, this is the most expensive clone on this list.

Specifically, the only difference between Royal Equestrian and PDM Layton is the opening. PDM Layton opens with a sparkling sour apple, while Royal Equestrian begins with a smooth sweet apple. Significantly, Loyal Agar is more potent than PDM Layton itself. The longevity and the projection level both are higher than PDM Layton. But Loyal Agar is not an identical twin of PDM Layton. Let’s dive into the fragrance to explore it. In summary, Dusk is one of the closest alternatives to PDM Layton. They used the same note, and the performance also imitates Layton. Before diving into other specifications, let me rave about the density first. Royal Equestrian is denser and darker than PDM Layton. Look, PDM Layton is airier. For this, PDM Layton is definitely easier to wear and to match with warm weather. Instead of the animalic oudy spirit, in Loyal Agar we are greeted by a radiant, delicate freshness reminiscent of lavender, coriander and rosewood oil. It seems complex and natural, with a slight floral and woody undertone, but it's completely synthetic;I think it's Coranol. You have smelled the familiar metallic accent of this fresh transparent note in combination with others, especially in men's fragrances. For example, in Dune for Men, Issey Miyake Pour Homme, andBvlgari for Men. A slight hint of green apple and violet powder were added to fill the bare freshness with a white cloud.But just like with many other things, the word "oud" or "agar" in the perfume name does not guarantee anything in the composition. Today, one such example, Loyal Agar by Luxodor, will appear in our perfume review. A brand representative recommended this perfume to me as one of the most popular masculine fragrances in their Signature Collection. Look, this is not the “Ultimate” Layton clone. As you can see, the opening is not the same; even the drydown acts differently. There are no similarities in the notes. Why is this fragrance in here?” I’m pretty much sure you’re thinking about something like this. Don’t worry, Every question will be answered. Just like PDM Layton, the longevity and the projection level of Royal Equestrian is also staggering. It easily lasts like 8-10hrs with a heavy projection.

As I said before, the performance is better than the PDM Layton. It easily lasts like 14-15hrs with a vast projection. Don’t wait; buy this gem asap. But still, when you’re wearing it, everyone will think you’re wearing Layton. It’s like a fresh Layton with one-fourth of the original price. Fresh and sweet,it mightseem like afougere fragrance, but no, it's more in the "fresh woody oriental" triangle. Over the past ninety years, this triangle has become almost weightless and almost transparent.Layton Parfums de Marly can be cited as an example. As for durability,no question—it's excellent. Moreover, they totally copied the remarkable base of PDM Layton. In fact, you can’t find any differences between these two. They perfectly reflect each other. They prepared a fantastic combination of wood, vanilla, and spices in the base, which is the main attraction of this fragrance.

However, the opening of CS I is not the same as PDM Layton. PDM Layton opens with an apple burst, but CS I opens with bergamot and some flowers in this case. After some time, in the base CS I replaced woody notes with ambroxan, which makes CS I more versatile and younger. For some time, it feels like a combination of Sauvage and Layton. But surprisingly, after an hour, it perfectly mimics the drydown of PDM Layton. You’ll find the same woody vibe along with some spices and vanilla, just like the Layton. If you look at the notes of this cologne, you might not see any differences between Dusk and Layton. Just like PDM Layton, Dusk starts with a smooth wave of Apple mixed with lavender. You may find some pepper in the opening. But trust me, after 15-20 mins this cologne exactly mimics PDM Layton.

If we compare Loyal agar side by side with PDM Layton, there are some differences. Loyal Agar is less fruity and sweet than Layton. On the other hand, Loyal Agar is better in the case of performance. Luxodor never fails to surprise its users with some inventive scents. Thus, Loyal Agar is created with the warm, sweet and seductive woody amber textures. This 60ml perfume, for both men and women, is formulated with the base notes of sweetly seasoned vanilla, distinctive tobacco and luscious tonka bean. The addition of patchouli and dry amber, laced with relaxing fusion of lavender and bergamot, enriches the fragrance, turning it into an idyllic affair. The finely balanced amalgamation of these scents forms a magical alliance that is sure to soothe you and add up an aura of attractiveness to your personality. ~a note from the brand So, finding an alternative fragrance would be your best chance to smell like PDM Layton without losing an arm or a leg. Additionally, the performance of this cologne fantastic. I got around 9hrs of projection with 4hrs of solid projection. The bottle design is classy and elegant also.Before diving into the review, let’s talk about Luxodor for a moment. Luxodor is a UAE-based fragrance brand. Luxodor is renowned for offering affordable clones of popular fragrances. And here I’m with Loyal Agar, the clone of PDM Layton. This brand, created in 2020, looks like an amazing "one-region-brand."The Luxodor office is located in Dubai, andproduction is in the UAE, but most of its distribution is located in former USSR countries, like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan... And for some reason, the brand works in New Zealand and is very well known in the Philippines.
