What do reviewers say about 2nd Soul and 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
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
