"I usually prefer Fontaine's Bâtard to his Criots but even though this is more aromatically elegant with its spicy white flower and peach aromas, it's no bigger, richer or more complex, at least not at present. Like the Criots though, this is more focused and precise than usual and I particularly like the beautiful convergence of impressive concentration with no loss of transparency or definition."
