Very rich dark berry mix with a hint of anise.
Works very good with a bit of menthol.
v2:
Cutting back the blackberry by half removes it overpowering flavour from the mix but still brings in the deep, dark blackberry flavour.
Cutting back FA Anise 0.25% helped alot as 1% was too strong for what i was aiming for in this mix, a subtle gentle kiss of anise.
The addition of black cherry was a good one. At just 1% it sits there in the back mixing all the berries together and adding to the 'darkness' of the blackberry with a splash of 'fresh'.
The blueberries although making up the bulk of the recipe at 8% total do not overpower and sit quite nicely and add a beautiful sweetness.
The raspberry adds a really sweet note which compliments the blueberries.
I did a slight variation on the recipe as I didn't have all ingredients, and it turned out really well (I'm using regular cherry and blackcurrant instead of the black cherry and blackberry, added a few drops of marshmallow as I didn't have blueberry candy, and I'm using peppermint instead of koolada). Deep, dark and rich berries with a hint of sweetness and freshness to round it off. Would love to try it with all the stated aromas, but I also want to use up some of the 30+ aroma bottles that I have already :) Definitely benefits from a few weeks of steeping. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely flavour. Currently testing as a SnV and the black cherry top notes are coming through well, complemented by the blackberry, with a subtle hint of anise on the exhale.
There's a well rounded mix of slightly floral, but pleasant high notes from the blueberries and raspberry swirling around throughout. I expect these to fade over time and the darkness to develop.
