Nose: Opens with a rye flour note. On the spicy side of the fence. Water brings a fragrant note into play: rose petals.
Palate: Very perfumed, almost artificially so. Roses and violets. Intense and slightly overwhelming.
Finish: Vanilla.
Comment: Like sitting in a bar next to a gent who has overdone the aftershave.
Score: 7
Taster
