Green Island

$170.00

The gin accord in the heart of Green Island is what gives the whole composition its organizing principle. Yuzu and pink grapefruit open with the clean brightness of freshly squeezed citrus, juniper and cardamom sharpening the accord before the gin-myrtle-peppermint heart establishes itself as something genuinely aromatic and refreshing. Prickly pear adds an unexpected note of island sweetness to the gin mid-stage. The patchouli and oakmoss base give the composition a depth that prevents it from fading too quickly, tonka bean softening the drydown into warmth.

Why We Carry This

The gin-as-heart-note construction in Green Island is inventive and it is executed with enough material quality to hold. The yuzu-juniper opening is one of the freshest in the Pazzaglia range, and the patchouli-oakmoss base keeps the whole composition from disappearing after an hour.
