Ninfeo Mio

Type: Citrus/Green/Woody
Launched: 2010
Notes: Italian lemon, citron, petitgrain, bitter orange, galbanum extract, lentisque absolute, fig leaf, lemon tree wood

Ninfeo Mio is a masterpiece created by none other than Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen. Together they continue the legacy of Annick Goutal in unique perfume perfection. This is a formula inspired by the legendary garden of the Hesperides. This was a garden that Camille and Isabelle fantasized about. They learned of the existence of such a garden located near Rome. The gardens of Ninfa, in which medieval ruins crowned in emerald green and all of the plants that they had imagined could still be found. Through the garden flows the Ninfeo river in which is reflected the forest bark, leaves, citrus fruit and figs. In the shade of a pine tree, Camille and Isabelle both found the fragrance they were looking to create was in the air around them. And so was born Ninfeo Mio.

All of these notes are clear and detectable as they each develop on the skin. I detect a coconut note as well which is not on the list at the Goutal site but it is clearly there on my skin. I have received nothing but compliments when I wear this fragrance. It is long lasting and can still be detected 10 hrs later. It may be wore with Nuit E Toilee as well to deeping the woody scent and the combination is very lovely. It comes in the classic signature Annick Goutal Bottle in a frosted pale green with a gold cap.

EDT Strength only
