Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio - eau de toilette for women and men

Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio - "Lively and vivacious, Ninfeo mio opens with a breathtaking vapor of Italian lemon and citron. The bitter orange tree unveils its leaves and its fruits. Galbanum extract and lentisque absolute deliver a sassy verdure full of life. 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, capurating the freshness of the citrus fruit in a downy cocoon. The feminine bottle is adorned itself with a frosted blue-green color enriched with a touch of grey. This shade is evocative of the green of the leaves in the gardens of Ninfa reflected in the Ninfeo river." --annickgoutal.com

Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio Perfume

At the time, Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen were working on a formula inspired by the legendary garden of the Hesperides. Each absolute, each essence chosen added another brush stroke to their burgeoning masterpiece, to the garden they fantasized about and spoke of as is they knew every single square inch.

Then, they learned of the existence of a garden mirroring their description in every way, and immediately departed for the gardens of Ninfa, near Rome.They found a safeguard Eden, in which medieval ruins crowned in emerald green and all of the plants that had fired the imagination of the two perfumers can still be found. Through the garden flows the Ninfeo river in which is reflected the forest bark, the leaves of branches, ripe citrus fruit and luscious figs.

In the shade of a pine tree, without warning, they were overwhelmed by a shared emotion : their perfume was right there, in the air, intense around them, the perfume they had been perfecting for months. And its name came to them quite naturally : Ninfeo mio.
