Nose An intensely floral nose, with huge notes of Parma violets, rose petals and just a hint of lavender. There’s also just a touch of bicarbonate of soda (not a bad thing) alongside oodles of sweetness.
Palate Just as the nose suggests, those Parma violet notes take the fore. There’s some rather pleasing notes of bramble leaves, toffee apple and cranberry, as well as a little kiwi and pine sap.
Finish It finishes beautifully with potpourri, liquorice, lemon sherbet and (and this really is going to sound bad, but it’s really not a bad thing, honest)… …detergent. It was difficult to even type that, but there genuinely is just a hint of it, and it’s very, very interesting.
Overall One of the most floral Rosebanks ever released, and that’s saying something.
