What do reviewers say about Hard Candy and Layton?
This is the fragrance for people who want sweet but not simple. The opening splits opinions, mint and lavender cool enough to make you pause, but once the strawberry and honey arrive.Hard Candy
The sweetness here isn't the problem, it's the solution. Vanilla could easily turn Layton into something one-dimensional, but the cardamom keeps it aromatic and interesting.Layton
