Uva

Ganache's Uva is an absolutely authentic duplication of grape soda available from beverage brands such as Fanta, Crush and Welch's. Also reminiscent of grape bubblegum. Uva is simultaneously sweet and thirst quenching and there is, indeed, something of the fizzy aspect of soda pop. Make no mistake, the authentic grape fragrance here is NOT that of wine; no, it lacks the alcoholic tang of fermentation. It's sweet, SWEET purple concord grape juice. If you're lucky enough to have been around Concord grape vines when the deeply purple/nearly black grapes are ready for picking or in the fall after the first frost that brings out the sugar in the fruit left unpicked, you will immediately recognize the authenticity of that scent in Uva. I'm one of those lucky folks so I don't just smell grape soda, I also smell the crisp, woody, sunny yet cool scent of autumn. Very, very nice. I've experimented with layering Uva with Ganache's High Tea and Southern Tea Kakes, which are heavy on vanilla baked goods, and with each I get a sense of a grape soda float -- grape soda in a tall glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream dropped in. Also very, very nice. So pleasant is the addition of vanilla to Uva that next I might try layering it with Casmir, another of my favorite vanillas. Like grapes? Get Uva.

This is REALLY good. It's like a candied grape scent. Sweet and light. Nice projection.
