Baltasar del Alcazar Jardins d'Écrivains 2022

I walked into the store planning to buy this one, but left with Holy Stick instead. Still, this is summer bottled, vibrant, aromatic, with a mint note that stays fresh without tipping into syrup. The citrus-mandarine backbone is bright and joyful, though longevity is weak (as expected from a citrus build). It puts me in an effortlessly good mood.

(And the layering with ex-Libris is awesome !)

Purchase postponed… not cancelled !
