NOSE

Deep, fruity Jamaican fragrances dominate, as usual, without overwhelming the other perfumes: delicately creamy fruits like blackberries and crushed strawberry. Letting the rhum breath reveals the blend’s unexpected coupling between these exotic fruits and fresh minty coolness. Without resistance, the perfect association carries us away.

PALATE

At first delicately sweet, almost creamy, the flavor crescendos slowly but surely into an array of very ripe exotic fruits before becoming round and fatty, completed by a subtle, sharp edge. The middle is savory, somewhat resinous, with hints of almond and fruit stone liqueur. The finale is warm and particularly tasty, almost sugary, with an enduring note of licorice.
