What do reviewers say about Tonic Malt and Layton?
This is a fougère that grows up. The herbal opening keeps most people at arm's length, sharp, almost clinical. But underneath, the cocoa and benzoin do the real work.Tonic Malt
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
