    Richtige Fruchtbombe. Tolle Nase. Mund zieht sich zusammen beim trinken. Sehr gut, bräuchte jedoch keine Flasche.

    Bon rum jamaïcain esterisé. C'est rigolo à l'aveugle j'aurais dit Hampden.

    Awesome super fruity ester bomb. Reminiscent of a high-ester WP. But also somewhat reminiscent of LROK The Younger, only this one is a little rounder and less perfumed. It's crazy that it was once available for 50€...
