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.
