NOTES:
Citrus | White chocolate | Golden hay
Tastes like staring into the sun. Citrus is a medicinal orange, chewable aspirin thing which I get to varying degrees across almost the entire Villiger line; here muchly-so. Way underneath comes white chocolate and golden hay is on the back-end of that, sinking into to terracotta nethers. Stiff suede. Coffee & cream.
White pepper, an apropos sea salt. Perhaps some metallic meandering on account of Peruvian silver. Some of that silver is still down there if anyone has a snorkel and metal detector handy. However, 1654 was a long time ago. Many have already gone looking and some have found; pack a heavy lunch and light hopes.
