Like a Reversible Bikini

"Ninfeo Mio" makes me think of a reversible bikini. Only in this case, I am thinking of the weather. Something has to turn, to make it all fit.

In hot weather, the fragrance has a delightful citrus and verbena aroma, fresh and sour, green and a little herbaceous. In the base, it is subtly woody and smoky.

In cold weather, it does not smell quite as good, it seems rather one-dimensional on my skin. I can smell vetiver - and that is all. Although I like this note, it often seems too bitter and masculine.

So, with a spirit of adventure, yesterday I tried "Ninfeo Mio" with some layering. Layering it with "Eau de Fleur de Yuzu" brings out the citric note, even in nasty weather. But only very subtle and slightly sweet. This is a welcome feminine variation.

A layering combination with cocos also was convincing. To do this, I used "Virgin Island Water" by Creed. Now I can wear "Ninfeo Mio" on colder days, too.

Lastly, I want to mention the very good longevity. On me from morning to night, all I have to do is add these scents for layering.
