What a shame

At the opening it's a very rich and sweet gourmand. A heavy buttery waffle cone married to a dense creamy vanilla surrounded by a crisp lime zest and powdery matcha. The matcha is playing very well with the green lime zest. It's making the matcha feel more green. The buttery notes aren't coming off as butyric like others I've tried.

However this changed a lot during the dry down. About 45 minutes in it gets heavier and very thick, especially on skin. The buttery notes in the waffle cone paired with the vanilla take the lead. They become humidly thick to the point where it feels unbalanced and overdone; nauseatingly so. The lime gets pushed back and the matcha is overpowered. It feels like I'm eating a tub of melted ice cream with two sticks of butter on a hot summer day. Unfortunately the dry down is not as good as the opening. What a shame.
