86 / 100
The appeal here is the movement from barley sweets and crème brûlée toward citrus, stone fruit, and clove. That gives the sweeter notes a clear counterpoint rather than letting them dominate. The finish keeps the spice present, with peaches bringing a softer close. It reads as a composed balance of dessert-like sweetness and brighter fruit, though the listed character leans more toward flavour contrast than texture, which is where my own preferences usually settle.
