A sour copy of Layton Exclusif
This smells like an overly sour copy of Layton Exclusif. When you smell Signature by itself you can convince yourself that it's OK, but if you compare it with Layton Exclusif the similarity and the difference becomes pretty obvious. Signature has a cloying, artificial and even sickly sour note, which spoils the scent for me. The sourness is coming from cardamom, which I don't like, and orange.
For those who don't know Layton Exclusif, the base in Signature is bold and rough, like the bottle, yet warm, maybe even sweetish. It is warm and spicy, but not in an aggressive way.
The top reminds me of Valentino Uomo and Pasha de Cartier Parfum. In all three the top is mediocre, and Signature has the best ratio of top to base. Of the three, Signature wins just because the base is good and relatively strong.
