What do reviewers say about Imperial and Layton Exclusif?
Oud for people who think they don't like oud. The resinous warmth is there, but so is restraint, light enough to wear daily, strong enough to mean it.Imperial
Performance is serious here, expect 10-14 hours on skin with strong projection for the first three. It elevates the original to a more intense, luxurious experience.Layton Exclusif
