The Story
“Lemon and citrus over a fuel, earthy funk.”
The nose is bright and gassy: lemon and citrus over a fuel, earthy funk. The effect is balanced and lively — an uplifting, energetic head with a relaxing body, usable across the day.
It's terpy and potent, cleaner than straight diesel. For lemon with a diesel backbone, Lemon Diesel is a zesty pick.
