Real talk
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
The rum and vermouth opening is either brilliant or bewildering, there is no middle ground. Once it settles, the smoky leather takes hold and holds. Those who get it, get it completely.Balade Imaginaire
