Overall: An interesting combo of Vic Secret of Strata. It works. Lots of grapefruit zest from the Vic, some dry grape and mango skins from the Strata. It's zesty, clean, and dry. I think Syncrhophaser flavors will peak in a couple of weeks as it settles. The Strata Vic Secret combo is unusual, but it works. (Rating: 4.19)
