This both tastes and smells tremendously nutty, I can tell you all that. It’s a tad chestnutty but barely. Rather, what makes this nutty are amaretto and nutshell notes. Not that I’ve gone around eating nutshells, but you know when you crack fresh nuts from their shells and sometimes there are some parts of the husk and/or inner shell stuck on.
Amongst these notes, I’m also picking up on the sunflower seeds, but I’m not getting nutmeg from this. Orange? None of that either. This smells more sweet, honey-like, and buttery than it tastes. There is a sweetness, probably from the honeybush, but I’ve enjoyed other honeybush bases more in the past.
The name just makes me want to eat it raw :)
And it’s funny you say that because it really does have a raw nut kind of vibe going on!
