Truffle and blackcurrant land hard, then cacao and patchouli take over on far rounder terms: the opening says nothing about the hours that follow, so judging it on that would be a mistake. Nine hours and a wide trail call for one spray, after dark, in cold weather. It suits anyone drawn to the material.
