The best Layton dupe
ALT Fragrances Stallion, $39
87% match · save $296
Our verdict: does Stallion really dupe Layton?
ALT names Layton as the reference, and Stallion carries its apple-bergamot-and-vanilla signature, the crisp-sweet, creamy, universally-liked profile the PdM is famous for. The lavender, cardamom and sandalwood supporting cast is lighter here, so it is a shade less layered, but the apple-vanilla heart everyone loves is on-target. One of the better confirmed matches going.
