Nose

Fresh fruits, creamy, cereal, slightly floral, spicy & intense menthol

Body

Definitely very sweet, honey, caramel, slightly zesty

Finish

Slightly spicy & bitter finish, the youthfulness definitely shows up but not as bad as I expected despite being only 9 years old and from 1990 so not that far back
