The boozier, sweeter predecessor of Bracken Man.
Punchy lavender, spiced liqueur, juniper freshness.
A base of creamy vanilla and coumarin.

I love how this one is just taking the piss out of fougeres. 2 months since I have it , still don't know how I truly feel about it - and THAT is amazing.

@TheDunkPapa it's rare to encounter such a visceral lavender. Even more surprising to find it in something that could be deemed as a caricature of the genre.
Love the use of juniper and bergamot, adding a citrusy lift to the boozy sweetness.
Unfortunately, this falls into the Cruz del Sur I category for me and doesn't surpass it, so I'll have to pass.
