COLOR: Yellow-orange.
NOSE: A distinguished and powerful apricot nose with spicy and woody notes, a blend of wildflowers, exotic fruits (mango), and a hint of almond.
PALATE: Both lively and creamy on the palate, with honeyed touches (acacia, linden), apricot pulp, and citrus undertones (lemon, orange).
FINISH: A fantastic length with a hint of honeysuckle and bitterness. Generous, indulgent, silky, and even dry.

First, the flowers are infused in hot water; once the tisane is cooled, it is stabilized with fine alcohol. This is followed by blending with fruit infusions (pear and lychee macerated in fine alcohol).
