The initial whiff of Old-Rare takes on the aroma of vanilla, but this scent is deeper, earthier, and more complex, with sweetness tempered by a hint of clove and nutmeg.
The first taste hits the tongue like a mellow honey, but again that sweetness is gradually brought in line by building taste of baking spices and allspice with a faint bite as Old-Rare gradually coats the tongue. Swallowing leaves the tongue coated with earthy, mildly-spicy sweetness and begs for another sip.
