vibrant nose tips you off right away that you are dealing with the Musqué clone in this fine bottle from Morgan. It show the floral side of what’s possible from the clone, but it doesn’t get carried away with itself by going overripe or over creamy. It keeps bright acid pop and a beautiful grassy note that offsets the melon, citrus and nectarine notes. This is at the top of its list of competitors at this price, and it will be joining my summer arsenal.
