5 Star Rating Stella quality - 19 September 2016

Reviewer: Karl from UK

It's been many years since I've used such a high quality YY. Often lacking and commonly mixed but this one certainly isn't. Full, rich and beautifully rounded, I highly recommend it. I have a bottle of BN: 027LAP and purchased on 16/09/2016. It's has a wonderful effinety with a small amount of Galbanum. Many thanks.
