Nose
Plums, figs and menthol – weird and wonderful. Sublimely attractive. Immediately want to go back for more. Rich melons, dried apples and baked, \ntinned peaches.\n
Palate
Sweeter than expected. Lots of sweet shoppe notes: Sweet Tart candies, lavender, rock candy, candy bracelets, strawberry foams, banana foams and cinnamon hearts.\n
Finish
Sea salt and milk chocolate, a hint of lime.
Comment
Wow. Loved this. Okay, it’s very sweet and won’t be for everyone, but it’s interesting and it keeps unfolding more and more layers.
