What do reviewers say about Layton and Oud Wood?
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
Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
