What do reviewers say about Proxima and Layton?
This is the fragrance for someone who's watched first-contact films and thought: yes, but what would it smell like? The aldehydic lift keeps everything feeling airy and otherworldly.Proxima
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
