89 / 100
The tropical fruit gives this a generous opening, with canned pineapple and apricot set against vanilla and a faint coconut note. I like the shift on the palate toward pink grapefruit and ginger, which brings a sharper edge to the sweeter pear, honey and vanilla. The long finish carries that grapefruit and lingering wood spice forward. It sounds layered and rounded, with enough contrast to keep the fruit from feeling one-note.
