Just discovered this recipe. I won't say no.
Is this your first Particulière?

No, I'm familiar with Black Tar and Madeleine too.

Aside from the synthetic wood, it sounds good. I've got it on my wishlist. How noticeable is the wood or the artificial aspect?

The main accord is already formed by the hesperidic notes. Towards the end, the synthetic elements start to emerge.

I find it almost menthol-like, ethereal, and cooling due to the ginger... I can hardly pick up on the wood or vetiver, maybe just hinted at.

The base definitely smells like that to me, even synthetic.

I was surprisingly impressed by it. But citrus fresheners aren't exactly rare either.

I like it without alcohol... but it’s probably more tolerable with alcohol - :)

It doesn't appeal to me as much because of the wrong shaker.

If it has even just a hint of green (vetiver), it's not my type of drink.

It's not really sweet either. More fruity and citrusy.

Thank you so much, SchatzSucher!
A nice summer companion.
Unfortunately, the usual synthetic notes reveal themselves after the first third.
Noted cedar and vetiver, slightly smoky.
This is how the house envisions the after-work drink.
Nice and friendly - but also average.
