in terms of le galion for me the absolute reference. insanely awesome shit, absolute taste explosion
So much flavor. It reminds me of the wacky flavors of a Clairin—super glue or meat or something. But so, so good and with a seriously room filling aroma. I would buy a candle of this.
Erstaunlich komplex für einen ungereiften.
A fantastic Grand Arome!
