Hedonism has become an annual edition after being retired from Compass Box’s core range, and this year’s release shows why connoisseurs will look forward to those yearly releases. The nose has garden herbs, honey, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. The taste is thick, chewy, and tart with white pepper, cinnamon, honey, citrus, and a hint of rosemary. The finish is long and spicy with a subtle tartness. Excellent! (March, 2025)
