So pretty, aromatic and bright. Bath talc mixes with white flowers, citrus, lime zest and intense lime cordial on the bouquet. I lingered over the aromas, I’m sure I’m not the only one lured in by that powerfully aromatic scent. The palate similarly is brimming in citrus goodness with a sorbet-bright tang, grapefruit and lime with a touch of musk stick confection and an almost lemon pastille/jelly crystal intensity on the back palate. Acidity is bright and bouncy, and it finishes steely fresh.
