Carlisle is a divisive fragrance within the community - those who enjoy it praise its artistic complexity, excellent longevity, and bridge between European and Middle Eastern perfumery styles. However, others find its heavy, all-at-once opening overwhelming or irritating, and it doesn't deliver the experience some expected based on comparisons to Layton. The fragrance rewards patience as it evolves throughout the day.
