Liquor
Description
Dry leaves: The buds and young leaves are still intact, revealing soft pastels of ultra-seductive elegance. An intense fragrance of full-fleshed red apricots is joined by the floral-powdery wave of sweet peas.
Infused leaves: An imperial jade colour, the young leaves and buds in full bloom deliver a zesty fragrance reminiscent of the wild orange trees that punctuate the magical landscape of the plantation, mingled with the invigorating, gourmand freshness of frangipani in flower.
Liquor: A luminous vermeil colour. The long-lasting aromatic liqueur opens with a pleasant sensation of pink rhubarb blended with mangosteen and the texture of cotton flower. The cup releases rich wisps of misty undergrowth, coloured with a hint of fresh hazelnuts. This precious nectar offers a fabulous finish reminiscent of creamy yuzu flower honey.
Eternal and distinguished.
