COLOR BEFORE WATER 5/10
it's very dark green just like the NS70
very fake looking and the back of the bottle reads as follows
Ingredients: Alcohol, Water, Wormwood, Aniseed, Colouring.
(Colouring E-102 E-124 E-131)
it also states that the Anis is from china.
I really hope that the NS is not colored in this way because I drank (for the most part) the whole one liter bottle of NS70
LOUCHE ACTION 3/10
louched right away, much too fast.
COLOR AFTER WATER 4/10
kinda muddled green with a bit of yellow and some pure white oily stuff at the top
AROMA 15/30
before water: it's minty with alcohol followed by anis(I think star but it's very faint not as over powering as it is normaly)
after water: Nothing. maybe if you are lucky a tiny bit of anis and mint but almost not even there.
MOUTH-FEEL 6/10
it's actually slighty creamy and nice, I like it.
TASTE 17/20
it's not bad at all
after water: refeashing and minty a tiny bit bitter though but it's not a bad bitter after water
when I first opened it I had a sip of it neat and although the alcohol is too heavy it has a nice flavor if you are not looking for something perfumy. the flavor neat is in one sense very full.
OVERALL IMPRESSION 6/10
I enjoyed this glass of it, I have to say that if the coloring was fixed and maybe something else was used it would have ranked higher for me.
I would also like to add that this was the same bottle that was used for the other review by Kallisti in 2006
