By the editors · 2 min readPear and lemon open with a familiar Nina sparkle, but bergamot dries the edge so the start reads less candy and more polished citrus. The apple is there too, lower and softer than in the original.
The heart pivots into a peony-jasmine-rose chord, pretty rather than serious, and at the half-hour mark the base begins doing something the rest of the line rarely does: a pile of coffee, praline, tonka and vanilla over an ambroxan haze. Sweet and edible, but with the slight bitterness coffee brings to a gourmand.
A flanker built for cold-weather wear — same opening DNA, considerably heavier dessert in the drydown.
