TASTING NOTES
Appearance
Glistening golden hues showcase a gorgeous blonde body. Brilliant lustre and luminosity arose immediate interest in this natural beauty.
Nose
A beguiling bouquet bewitches your senses. Seductive scents of citrus fruits and tropical melons foreshadow the sophisticated yet supple personality of this fine French maiden.
Taste
Flirtatious floral notes entice your senses before revealing a shapely and seriously well-toned body that slowly undresses layers of citrus fruits and tropical melons that succumb to sensuous strokes of honey and vanilla before climaxing with a luscious lemon cream farewell that leaves you wanting more (much more). Lash yourself to a mast, this complex blonde will seduce you in the most alluring, irresistible ways.
