BPAL description: Chunky fruit punch with a generous splash of booze!
Sniffed: Pale yellow oil. Booze, booze, booze! Whoa. Rum? Vodka? Gin and/or vermouth (something herbal-ish)? The fruits below smell entirely booze-soaked, a little fermented, and indeed punchy.
Wet: Still booze galore, with an awesome fizzy note like sprite or 7-up - reminds me of Independent. Definitely some cherry fruit - the kind from Neo-Tokyo. Sweet lime and orange - this is pretty citrusy and overall 'bright'.
Dry: The booze starts to fade quite rapidly to a much more enjoyable level. I don't think there is rum, but definitely vodka, and I think vermouth and a red wine note, too. As in Independent, the 7-UP is going a bit soapy/powdery, but here other notes keep it in check.
Later: Clean, sparkling, slightly boozy citrus fruit with light cherry - really gorgeous and light, not too sweet at all! I absolutely love it. It totally has a Delousing Powder/Independent aspect.
Summary: After a couple hours it fades to very faint, slightly soapy-powdery (but in a good way, like the citrus powdered dishwasher detergent I so love) 7-up, vodka & vermouth blend with faint cherry. Low throw but decent longevity.
