Lalique
White in Black EDP
“The grown-up, incense-tinged take on Layton — lavender, cardamom, and vanilla with a smoky Lalique polish.”
The take
What works
- ●A genuine designer bottle in Layton's sweet-aromatic lane
- ●Smoky olibanum and cedar make it the most refined option here
- ●The crystal Lalique presentation looks the part on a shelf
Trade-offs
- ●Less apple-sweet and more incense-aromatic than the original
- ●Softer projection than the Arabian clones
