Electric panther purple. Plush and forward purple berries, black jelly beans, jäger herbs/anise with cool stone. Seductively smooth (maybe a poke of alcohol) with bright young thing purple fruit saturated with those anise driven herbs and freshened up through the finish with youthful acidity. Completely smashable.
