Red Tobacco is praised for outstanding longevity and performance, with a beautiful warm, sweet drydown that improves significantly after the harsh opening. However, the community is divided on projection strength and questions the quality of the tobacco note itself, with many suggesting superior alternatives exist. It works best for those willing to tolerate a rough opening in exchange for all-day wear.

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.
