Nose
very open, aromatic and 'crispy', very seductive. Very fruity, rather citric part, with lots of grapefruit and a bit of lemon. There is a fluffy note of dressing, of ironing; and also a share of white flowers, of chamomile, really delicate and pleasant. Pears and pineapple tartlets. The waxy part, honeyed, grows with time.
Palate
More flat here, between honey and a cereal bar, with still some hints of yellow fruit (pineapple). Lemon cream. Strikes a really interesting oily note.
Finish
short all in all, split between dried coconut, honey and a slightly bitter tip of grapefruit.
