Le Zuccherose Black Sugar
Bottega Verde (2010)

One of the most sugary blast of helter skelter waving yummy aromas ever tried. Candied, powdery, almondy and eliotropic. Star anise introduces the aroma with its piquant-cool aromatics, the note of jasmine smells artificially like something honeyed like pollen, ylang-ylang provided an exotic-chic spark while dry down is all about vanilla and candied resins. Closer to a body deodorant than to an accomplished fragrance Le Zuccherose Black Sugar collapses in structure along the way by sliding down towards a flat sugary/vanillic dust. The "black side of the moon" is represented by something (nondescript) smelling vaguely nutty and roasted. This Bottega Verde's juice seems actually like a "fragrant" rendition of a southern town folk festival.
