Knockout perfume of strawberry, raspberry, crushed rock, smoke and brown spices. Like liquid silk in the mouth, with captivating perfume of dried flowers, exotic spices and hot rocks. Very long, mounting finish remains utterly velvety. Laurent points out that he has a new source here as of 2009, and that the 2008 and 2007 versions of this bottling were "too powerful."
