Orientica Xclusif Oud Bleu \- This really is incredibly close to Layton, at least from the 2 or 3 times I've tried it while at Niemann Marcus.

I'll die on the hill that Xclusif Oud Bleu is the best Layton clone and has absolutely nuclear performance.

So if your looking for the Layton clone then Amber Oud Exclusif Blue without the Haramain name on the bottle is the one you're looking for and XO Xclusif Oud Bleu is the same juice in a different bottle marketed to different regions but if you're looking for the BDC clone than it's Amber Oud Bleu Ed
