    What do reviewers say about Opal and Layton?

    This is a fragrance that announces itself. If you're looking for something that whispers, Opal isn't it, the projection is confident, the spiced coffee opening is a statement. That's the whole point.Opal
    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
