Wow. Could smell the nose for hours. Stemmy, menthol, eucalyptus with red fruit. So pretty. Maybe a tad more on its concentration could tip it to a 99/100

1.5 hr into it. The perfume is sublime. Elegant, feminine, violets, rose petal. So seductive and getting better. The length of the finish is incredibly long. This is gorgeous juice.

Wet towel, funk, spices and fruit emerging. A bit cloudy but as it opens, the body and length are amazing. As it opens its clear this is a baby. It needs at least a 2-3 hour decant to bring out its full expression. This is elegant, but has plenty of power. Can age easily another 10 years.
