A tangle of woody and citrus scents Lively and vivacious, Ninfeo mio by Annick Goutal opens with a breathtaking vapor of Italian lemon and citron. The bitter orange tree then unveils its leaves (essence of petitgrain), and its fruits (essence of bitter orange). Gradually, the scene begins to unfurl. Galbanum extract and lentisque absolute deliver a sassy verdure full of life.

A faintly aromatic undertone places the scene in a landscaped garden, in which conifers thrive alongside lavender, and then the warmth and milky softness of the fig leaf rises up, as if brought by a cool breeze to the nose. The tempo slows down, and gently comes to rest on the skin. The woody accord of the lemon tree, just as milky as the fig, then knits a reassuring blanket, capturing the freshness of the citrus fruit in a downy cocoon.

On that occasion, bottles will adorn themselves with a frosted blue-green color enriched with a touch of gray. This shade is evocative of the green of the leaves in the gardens of Ninfa reflected in the Ninfeo river.

Ninfeo mio by Annick Goutal (50 ml or 100 ml Eau de Toilette, Ribbed Bottle or 100 ml Eau de Toilette, Square Bottle) – will be available at the end of Febuary 2010 at Madison Perfumery.
