    What do reviewers say about Layton and First Date?

    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
    Sweet enough to commit to. Warm enough to mean it. This isn't the fragrance that plays it safe, it's the one that reaches for you when the room is half-lit.First Date
