Just got my BVCC in the mail. Right out of the mail the smell is spot on with CLS. Dripped some on fresh cotton in my Helios. This is definitely a different beast than other custards. Getting hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, not a bad thing though.. The egg shows through a bit more than the CLS as well. This will definitely not be a either or between other custards. It will be another to add along with the custard collection! I will let it steep for a few weeks and post back with my findings.
