Real talk
The leather-saffron pairing gives this one a divide. Some are charmed by the metallic opening. Others need 30 minutes. But that praline-ambroxan combo in the base is what makes it worth the patience.Elysian 685
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
