    Real talk

    The mint opening is genuine and not subtle, which might put off those expecting immediate sweetness. If you stick with it, the payoff in the drydown justifies the patience required.Rayhaan Elixir
    Sweetness with an aromatic backbone, that's the move here. Honey and vanilla keep it soft, but the lavender-mint opening means it never slides into gourmand territory. It bridges that gap well.Helios
