Nice undergrowth vegetal smells with some peat, the whole behind an intense veil of smoke. The vegetal notes seem to amplify and develop on (too ripe) fruit. Remarkably complex, it goes on on slightly acid citrus fruit notes and at the end quite a medicinal smell.
The first mouth is quite acid and develops quickly to coffee and milk hints. The nose was more expressive.
The finish is very long and recalls clearly the nose impressions. This coffee and milk taste remains however.
