Real talk
Pi doesn't play it safe, the anise note hits like a question mark. But that vanilla-and-almond drydown is the answer. Warm, confident, and nothing like the usual masculine playbook.Pi
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
