Nose
more paraffin and Barbour grease up front – far less tropical, and far less fruity to start with. More mineral notes, some more acidic orange and grapefruit, as well as plenty of sunflower / olive oil and whiffs of moisturizing creams. A bit of minty / pine freshness as well.
Palate
sweet and fruity now, much more than I expected after the nose. More on oranges, peaches, guava. It's a luscious, creamy style with a wee liqueur-like touch, but nicely balanced by greener leafy notes, always this chalky note, a little paraffin and light spice.
Finish
good length, still fruity, alongside waxy notes and some gentle medicinal herbs.
