Liked this with Dolin Génépy, Stoli, and Tanqueray export strength. Fuller flavor as it lost it's chill. Not too sweet.

Tried this tonight and this is a delicious cocktail. As per Tapan Patel's suggestion of adding a little lemon, I added only a few drops and can attest that this really brightens the drink. For those curious as to who "RIP" the author of Cocktails de Paris was, it was the nom de plume of Georges Gabriel Thenon, a singer and author of revues from the early 20th century. The book was illustrated by Paul Colin, one of France's great poster artists. (Another great cocktail from that book, is the "Cocktail de Paris": https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/35044/cocktail-de-paris )

This was exactly what I was looking for. Herbaceous, a touch of spice, a bit of sweet.

Add a small cap full of lemon or yuzu juice to brighten the drink!

Brilliant suggestion; tried as per recipe and after a few sips squeezed a few drops of lemon juice into my glass just to compare. Even that small amount brightens the drink and cuts down a bit on what some might find a bit of cloying cocktail from the Yellow Chartreuse.

What a wonderful mixture of herbal and slightly sweet. A slight taste of anise.
