First time trying an Army & Navy, and it is utterly sensual. Funny how an American classic feels like an imperial outpost fantasy. It instantly transported me to Fiji or Martinique, as if across from a fragrant woman of the native elite. Hats off to the irony of American soft power: what I took for a colonial imaginary is actually pure culture industry reification, straight out of Fantasy Island with Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize. Made mine with Tanqueray and Monin Orgeat, since Hayman's costs a fortune down here in the Global South.
