Straw color. Aromas and flavors of floral perfume with rose water, lychee, and peach and papaya syrup with a round, bright, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of pear juice, honeysuckle, starfruit, and potpourri. The sweet and floral treat that you expect with some honey and chai tea spices.
