While I love an animal of jasmine, this lives on the opposite side of the field. Slightly sweet, earthy, almost powdery, but fresh. It’s a paradox of dark purple liquid and sunshiny jasmine. I find it...
Edit: two years later, I’ve retested in the depths of winter and its a bit less sweet. Cool, smooth, strongly scented, leathery jasmine. A hint of sweetness (which references the grape below). I like ...
