N: Immediate smell of Earthy Peat, Wood Pellets, Ash, Salted Caramel, Sea-Air, Grass, Pine, Potpourri, and Peppery Spice. Honey and Vanilla Sweetness. On top of this, there is Citrus (Lemon). Oddly Calamine Lotion. (9/10)
P: Thin and Watery. Sweet Peat and Chili Heat. Wood, Lemon, Salted Caramel, Ash, and Grass. Gets mildly Creamy with a hint of Vanilla. (8/10)
F: Peat Smoke with Citrus, Hot Spice, Vanilla, Ash, and Salt. Medium-long and Dry. (9/10)
There is quite a lot of complexity, but little sophistication. Rates higher than QC in my book though.
