Eschews the more heady and salacious varietal characters of musk and rose water to an extent, allowing the chaste purity of citrus fruits to shine brightly.
All the exotica, tropical and otherwise, is still present but in a diminished form. Corseted and Victorian. Not that much in the way of overt texture. Difficult to rate. You could deduct points on account of a lack of varietal veracity or add them for line and carry. Perhaps it just balances out and emphasises how important the tasting note is. 90
