Tasting notes：

Nose: Nice barley sugar, honey, and beeswax notes. Prominent wood glue, coconut, and brazil nuts - similar to some grains of similar age. Verbenna, a little camphor, and hints of Old Spice - herbal but gentle. A bit fruity, with subtle melons (various), white grapes, red apples. A background of wood. The balance is okay, maybe a bit too woody. But I wouldn't describe this as a fruity nose, or tropical.

Palate: Huh, really herbal - like sucking on a nettle wrapped around pine needles, with some iodine poured on top. A bit of cough medicine, TCP, eucalyptus. Toasted oak and vanilla, a bit of glue, almonds, white pepper. Sweet white grapes, honey. This has had far too much wood influence. I can't find any tropical fruits here.

Finish: Camphor, iodine, loads of pine needles, verbenna, eucalyptus, dead tree. Some more Old Spice, vanilla beans, toasted oak, wax. Hints of pineapple, but more like white grapes, pears. A lot of menthol.
