| The catch | Second-tier bottle — only a few well-discussed reports in the corpus, and full note-by-note performance data is thin. | Can read too youthful or synthetic/cloying in high heat — and fake bottles are appearing on non-specialist retail sites. Evidence is its own (don't borrow the original Hawas's numbers). |
| Best use case | Date night | Summer heat |
