Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Perfumy. Almond bath soap. Palate Dry. Herbal. Finish Cleansing. Refreshing. Some orangey acidity. Comment Would I take a bath in this? Well, perhaps a shower.

Dave Broom Nose Silky and soft: lemon, lint, coffee and cream, chocolate, lightly nutty. Has subtle, gentle depth. Palate Sexy and sweet, moving into pine honey. Firm mid-palate, cooked fruits, damson, coconut. Finish Sweet and soft. Comment Not the most complex but has perfect balance and gentle Southern charm.
