Deep amber-like with orangey-copper iridescence; highly attractive and appetizing.

Subtle note of dried fruits over toasted and pastry tones. Sensation of fresh honey with hints of flowers such as magnolia and almond blossom. Caramelised sugar and toffee base. There is also a tropical base of mango laced with fine, exotic woody notes. There is also a hint of white chocolate and almonds.
