    What do reviewers say about Spectrum and Layton?

    Budget fragrances often choose between performance and price. Spectrum chose both, and then had the audacity to smell like something worth three times the cost.Spectrum
    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
