Did you try it?
The Story
“A sharp, chemical marker-and-soap funk over a sweet, gassy base — unmistakable, and a little divisive.”
The nose is exactly that: a sharp, chemical marker-and-soap funk over a sweet, gassy base, unmistakable and a little divisive. The effect is balanced and euphoric — a happy, uplifting head over a relaxed body, versatile but potent.
It's very frosty and loud, a flavour-forward modern exotic. For people who want that distinctive Sharpie-soap funk done well, Permanent Marker is the reference.
