3N - Oily and sweet - pure pick’n’mix energy 🍬. Cola bottles, sherbet, and a faint whiff of engine oil. Water makes it go full syrup.

2N - Musky whisky warehouse, raisins drowning in treacle. Add water and it leans dessert-heavy - treacle tart left out in the rain.

1N - Pale gold, almost like London tap water. Earthy peat right away - Ledaig-style funk - then salted toffee apple 🍏. A splash of water smooths it into something sweeter and friendlier.
