What do reviewers say about Layton and Damascus Desert?
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
This is the fragrance for someone who's past the point of trying too hard. The citrus keeps it honest, the iris keeps it interesting, and the base keeps it warm long after the occasion's over.Damascus Desert
