What do reviewers say about Sensual Instinct and Layton?
Coffee-forward oriental that gets rosier as it wears. Most PRALINE-SWEET openings stay safe. This one leans into that sweetness as a feature, not a flaw.Sensual Instinct
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
