Carlisle est un parfum diviseur au sein de la communauté - ceux qui l'apprécient louent sa complexité artistique, sa tenue exceptionnelle et son pont entre les styles de la parfumerie européenne et moyen-orientale. Cependant, d'autres trouvent son ouverture lourde et massive écrasante ou irritante, et il ne livre pas l'expérience que certains attendaient en fonction des comparaisons avec Layton. Le parfum récompense la patience car il évolue tout au long de la journée.
