Nose : From the very first sniff, it’s a tropical fireworks display. Picture a festival of mango in all its forms: liqueur, syrup, freshly sliced, and thick, rich jam. Add a splash of pineapple, a hint of papaya, and a soft embrace of ripe banana. It’s vibrant, exuberant, and unapologetically exotic—pure tropical power. Palate : The party continues, with mango, guava, and papaya still leading the dance, but this time with a zesty kick. Bergamot and lime zest deliver a sharp, refreshing burst of acidity. It’s bold, fruity, a bit provocative, but that’s part of its charm. Then, fresh mint makes an appearance, with a whisper of licorice to spice things up. In short, fun is guaranteed! Finale : Long, effervescent, and full of freshness, the finish leaves a cooling minty breeze, with a subtle hint of wood. The tropical fruits keep performing in the background, elegant, with just a touch of funky flair.
But what a surprise, and what a treat 🤩🤩 This TDL is superb. For once, the menthol is very discreet in favor of the fruit, which explodes on the palate. A touch of "heavy" that I really like 😍😍 A must-taste 🤩🤩🤩
Auto-translatedSoirée TDL : 5 pour 1 ! Le TDL le plus rond, chocolaté du lot ? Au nez il y a du menthol et des fruits jaunes légers mais surtout un côté herbacé, de la noisette, un chocolaté presque noir. En bouche ça se confirme, avec pas mal d’épices en plus, un peu comme sur un FS. Egalement une grosse mangue. Finale longue sur le chocolat et les épices. Expérience assez déroutante, j’ai aimé le profil, le côté rond, la longueur; mais je n’ai pas forcément retrouvé le bouquet de fruits rouges que j’apprécie tant. Édit : a noter également l’intensité en bouche; très tendue, un poil d’alcool.
Couleur étrange avec des reflets noirs… Nez extraordinaire de bois, vanille pour les plus simples et plus discret l’amande et les fruits secs. Bouche ample et très expressive au fruits rouges et surtout framboise. Une explosion de saveurs avec une finale gourmande sur l’amande
