What do reviewers say about Layton and 2nd Soul?
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
Some fragrances announce themselves. 2nd Soul lingers, smoke and suede arriving hours later, unexpected from that bright boozy start. It's the second hour that earns the trust.2nd Soul
