    Real talk

    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
    Layton occupies a distinctive space where aromatic freshness meets Oriental warmth. It's a rare balance of structured florals and addictive gourmand warmth.Layton
