Tasting notes
Impenetrable ruby red with a dense chromatic texture with light garnet hues. The olfactory approach is powerful with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and myrtle, which is amplified by balsamic notes of eucalyptus, juniper, garrigue (Mediterranean scrub), sweet spices of cinnamon and pink pepper. The range of perfumes is completed by etheric hints of coffee, bitter chocolate and Havana cigar. Its taste is persuasive and satisfying with a softness, that is the result of an integrated and refined workmanship. At the end it is savoury and has notes of menthol balm and minerals that make it tasty and pleasant. The aromatic persistence is long.
