Heh. Keep in mind that I do not have the technical vocabulary for this sort of thing; neither would I be able to describe a perfume in tradesman's terms. Silky and somber and finely grained, like drinking sandalwood; not blow-your-head-off peated (although I had a whisky like that at the showcase and it was fantastic), but very aromatic, a kind of aftertaste of smoke. It had no raw edge on it at all. It went farther back the more you tasted it. I tasted two people's pours of it before I got my own, and then I nursed it for an entire conversation.
