Nose: A vibrant burst of sour pineapple and passionfruit opens the experience, swirling with floral honey and the green lift of wild Swiss herbs. Hints of geranium and a whisper of alpine botanicals add a perfumed complexity.

Palate: Bold and oily, the initial sweet-and-sour impact hits with lime sorbet, quickly deepening into floral honey, vanilla cream, and a delicate note of jasmine tea. Layers of spice and mild oak bring warmth and structure to this evolving profile.

Finish: Medium in length with citrus honey and the bitter twang of lime peel, leaving a fresh and bittersweet echo.
