Itchynose

An old Andalusian tree wrapped in spicy anise and bitter patchouli.

"Tree, tree, dry and green." – Federico García Lorca.

The first couple of minutes bring a pleasant mix of citrus, saffron and clary sage that suddenly turns into a weirdly medicinal bar of soap.

Sharp and green like sipping lemon juice off an aloe vera leaf. Dries down quickly into a classy but very subdued citrusy skin scent.

A boozy opening followed by an oriental mix of nutty, dusty and spicy notes. Elegant and dressed up in the house of Kilian tradition.

Take the ambroxan-cardamom combo from Vodka on the Rocks and add it to Apple Brandy New York. Straightforward job.
