Tried it neat. Nose: Salty caramel and toffee with an hint of cherry Taste: alcohol, acidic with a bit of tangerine. Bitter on the side of the tongue. Finish: liquorice (but more the Southern European style) ...a bit better after adding a few drops of water. Now it smells of glue (shoe shop) but the taste is a bit softer and slightly floral Good that I just bought the 30ml sampler. ...will not finish it.
