88 / 100
The shift from black pepper to green apple and honey gives this a lively, inviting centre, while vanilla, Seville orange zest and white chocolate bring a softer edge on the nose. I like that contrast: bright fruit and spice without the notes becoming hard to follow. A full finish with lingering spice gives it a clear, lasting close. It sounds composed and expressive.
