Nose
Sweet and gentle, fruity and floral. Syrupy notes of stewed pears, tinned peaches, and elderflower. Exotic fruit flavours of mango, starfruit, lychee, muscat grapes, and citrus peels. Lots of lavender and violets, some beeswax and a cedar-y spice character. Ripe peaches, dried apricots and a hint of cinnamon.
Palate
Light texture. Arrives with tangerine, nectarine, beeswax, and white chocolate. Develops to fragrant oak, milk chocolate, some more beeswax, and something slightly dunnage-y. Some pineapple, pear, and red apples. A little black pepper. Honey and vanilla, accented with subtle almond.
Finish
Medium-short. A hint of soap again. Nougat, honey, sweet citrus, and mango. Long and lingering with spiced oak and citrus.
