    Real talk

    Built around a banana note that shouldn't work but does. The tropical-fresh character was genuinely unexpected in 1994, and it still stands apart from the usual aquatic suspects.Quasar
    The martini note isn't decoration, it's the whole point. Olive-sharp, a little theatrical, and it announces itself before anything else. That dry opening either hooks you or it doesn't.Achille
