Nose: Cantaloupe, Russian honey cake (sponge, honey, cinnamon), white chocolate, and orange zest. Candied fruits and marzipan. Vanilla essence and calendula.
Palate: Medium-full. Chamomile tea with honey, and a citrus zing of mixed orange and lemon peels. A pleasing creaminess. A little grassy. There are delicate baking spices, too.
Finish: Medium. The citrus notes linger.
