I’ve owned Layton as well and they’re pretty much one to one it’s just Amber Oud has a denser smell because it’s an extrait de parfum.

Detour noir by al haramain or if you can afford al haramain amber oud exclusif blue (both Parfums de Marley Layton clone but excluding blue lasts longer and is stronger apparently however is double the money )

Almost a dead ringer for Layton.

That is the wrong Amber Oud - that's the Chanel clone Al Haramain - the one I am selling is the Layton clone Blue Exlulsif not Blue -- which is $82.50 on FragrenceNet.
