Dusk

Dusk by The Woods Collection is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and cost-effective clones of Parfum de Marly's Layton. It closely mimics Layton's core DNA—warm, spicy, vanilla-heavy, and woody—with a slightly fresher and brighter opening marked by apple, mandarin orange, and a touch of lavender, leading into a rich, glowing heart of cardamom, pepper, and patchouli. Its performance is stable and notable: it lasts up to 8–10 hours, with moderate to strong projection, and many users report longevity and sillage that match or even exceed certain batches of Layton. While the initial citrus-citrus spark is slightly subdued compared to Layton’s vintage formula, the dry down is practically indistinguishable, especially in warmer conditions. The scentscape is mature, refined—one reviewer described it as the older, more serious sibling of Layton, with a smoother, deeper resonance over time. It’s praised as a reliable, low-cost alternative, especially for those who love Layton but seek value without sacrificing fidelity. Most users are delighted with the balance of quality and affordability.
