“Auch hier ist die DNA in der Nase erkennbar, Holz, Kräuter, Röstaromen - dazu tritt eine floral-parfümige Note in den Vordergrund, die leicht ins seifige übergehen. Am Gaumen leichte Zitrusfrüchte, Holz, Röstaromen, Kräuter und Heu; insbesondere rückt aber eine verstörende medizinisch-wachsige Fehlnote in den Vordergrund, die mich irritiert. Leider bleibt diese Fehlnote auch im Abgang präsent, weshalb für mich auch hier keine bessere Bewertung möglich ist.”
