Ninfeo Mio has been around for a few months now. But something about the stoopid name put me off.
Cast aside all pretentious twaddle about 'inspired by a garden in Italy' and 'the scent of fig leaves'. Ninfeo Mio captures the lush greenness of English countryside. It reminds me of playing in a wet spring garden. Specifically, stinging nettles can sometimes almost take on a minty quality, and Ninfeo Mio captures this leafy lushness perfectly.
The 'CB I Hate Perfumes' range dramatically evokes picture perfect scenes. In particular, Eternal Return distills the scent of a briney summer seaside. By the same token, Annick Goutal has distilled the essence of a rural idyll into this beautiful fragrance Ninfeo Mio.Don't miss it.
