Caramel, leather, and green apple notes are present, with a long-lasting finish and a significant amount of flavor. I found it necessary to dilute this one with water to fully appreciate it.
Incredibly strong. It stings the nose and throat all the way down. Adding a little ice and water makes it very good. The finish has caramel notes.
A rapid burst of heat is followed by a surprisingly smooth finish. It's both delightful and potentially hazardous!
Warm and hot. Cherry-flavored lip balm on both inhalation and exhalation.
Dark fruit and a maple heat on the nose.
