I received this sample thanks to lovely cteresa
The dry leaf scent is fantastic as 99% of the MF blends. On the picture, it reminded me a lot Prince Igor but now I can see it “in real” it is different, dryer than Prince Igor.
The fragrance of the liquor is very special, very green, toasted green tea. This is to me the leading note, almost smoky and then, behind, almond.
Drinking it, to me the dominant flavour is exotic fruits and almond but a different almond from the one used for Pleine Lune, a dryer one less creamy.
It’s clearly not a spicy tea despite the presence of cinnamon (very discrete).
Balthazar has definitively its own personality as cteresa said.
To me it has nothing common with Pleine Lune except almond.It may not be its cousin…
Balthazar has the MF signature for sure. The exotic fruits are what I’ll remember from this blend, but non sweet exotic fruits.
A very nice tea (mix of green and black teas)

I really want to get some Pleine Lune badly.
Azzrian, do check it, it´s special. And give it a few tries – with me it was not totally love at first sip, but it took a few teapots to get how I really love it (with honey and milk).
Ysaurella, I find your opinion so interesting! so glad it got there safe and sound (and fast!)
