I had a similar first impression of LTF. I wanted to like it but there was a distracting and not particularly enjoyable aftertaste. To me, it was an artificial taste; somewhat sweet, but unnaturally so. The smell reminded me of play-doh.

I decided to put it away for a while. Time passed and I enjoyed at least a jar each of the other luxury flakes before I sampled LTF again. Alas, time was what it needed. After a couple of years in the jar, it had mellowed into something sublime. It went from my least favorite of Stokkebye's luxury flakes to my favorite.

My suggestion: Jar it up and forget about it for awhile. There are lots of others to keep you busy in the meantime...
