Flavors dance vibrantly across the tongue—crisp red fruits mingling with mace and cinnamon spices, elevated by that distinctive minty tarragon edge for an irresistible uniqueness. Alluring dark plum, griotte, and mulberry notes entwine smoothly with black tea, forest undertones, and sandalwood, culminating in a polished, extended finish where delicate perfumes hang in the air.
