Imagining the blissful garden tended by the Hesperides of Greek mythology, Goutal's in-house the perfumer Isabelle Doyen was inspired to begin working on a new classic scent, visualising an enchanting landscape of bitter orange and lemon-tress; cypresses and fig-trees; crisp green grass, fertile soil and a glinting stream.
A short while later, Isabelle learnt of the existence of a place that mirrored her imaginings - the Gardens of Ninfa, near Rome. There she found a lush, untouched Eden nourished by the Ninfeo River, where tangled branches, ripe citrus fruits and luscious figs wind over ruined mediaeval towers and walls. Here was the living embodiment of the perfume she had been perfecting for months; the fragrance's name became Ninfeo Mio.
A lively and vivacious perfume, Ninfeo Mio is a heady mix of lush garden scents, from the woody accord of the lemon-tree and the breathtaking vapour of bitter orange to the intoxicating aroma of lavender and the warm, milky softness of the fig-leaf.
Fragrance Notes
- Lentisque absolute and essential oils are distilled from the twigs and branches of the Moroccan pistachio tree Pistacia Lentiscus. It provides an impression of conifer, green-ness, slightly juniper with overtones of crystallized orange.
