    What do reviewers say about Alexander and Layton?

    You get two fragrances in one bottle. Coconut and peach open warm and inviting, then leather and oud arrive for a bold finish. That transition isn't for everyone.Alexander
    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
