Right, so this one’s pure sunshine in a glass. 🍋 Smells properly lemony first off – bright, citric, almost like walking past a gorse bush by the seashore. There’s a soft floral thing too, dried lavender maybe, and just a touch of hessian, like old sacks in a beach hut. With a splash of water it completely opens up, brings out this lovely Earl Grey tea note, bergamot and all, with a wisp of brittle, raw smoke unfurling in the background. The fruitiness is surprising – grapefruit pith, citrons, a hint of something almost sweet but then that drying, chiselled mineral edge pulls it right back. Beach pebbles and seaweed, really. Full strength but never clumsy, has that perfect purity and precision balance you hardly ever find. The finish is long and superbly sharp, teetering just on the right side of clean. A lot of pleasure here, dangerously drinkable.
