The scent is very variegated and elegant; floral notes (hawthorn and magnolia) and fruity notes (grapefruit and pineapple) linked and amalgamated by hints of vanilla on which the characteristic mineral notes are grafted with aging. The taste is fragrant, full-bodied and structured, articulated in scents that refer to olfactory sensations, but well balanced with a persistent aftertaste that fades to almond notes.
