French Riviera is a polarizing summer fragrance with strong performance and a distinctive salty-citrus profile that appeals to summer fragrance enthusiasts, but some find it synthetic or too reminiscent of cheap air fresheners. The consensus is it works well as a warm weather scent if the salty marine notes resonate with you, best purchased at a discount.

Layton is a well-crafted, versatile fragrance with strong performance that genuinely appeals to many in the community, but it remains highly divisive due to its premium $285 price tag that many feel is unjustified compared to cheaper alternatives like Spicebomb Extreme. The scent requires sampling before purchase as it's a polarizing fragrance that either wins people over gradually or disappoints them entirely.
