    If you've worn Layton and need something with more backbone, this is the leather-forward answer. The ambroxan isn't here to comfort you, it's here to stay.Costume National I
    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
