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
the masterpiece of the nose is not fully successful, although it remains very pleasant and very drinkable. 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.
