Narcotic Delight

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, sweet and syrupy, often with an almond bitterness underneath.

It opens on cherry, pink pepper and black pepper, moves through cognac, hedione and rose, and settles on tobacco, vanilla and tonka.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• black pepper: dry and hot, like pepper cracked straight from the mill

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
