Panettone Milano Fragranze 2021

A beautifully grainy and wheaty loaf of festive sweet bread. This opens with the combination of candied orange rinds and a freshly zingy ginger. I’m regularly a ginger hater but this one feels aromatic and fresh vs herbal and medicinal. As the scent develops you get a prominent immortelle note that has that unmistakable honeyed hay like sweetness, paired with a hint of booziness from the rum. Dry down really brings out that breadiness full swing with a sweet graininess to it, even a malty touch considering the booze. It’s warm, sweet, bready to the T, and still feels fresh and light bc of the immortelle and ginger. Just a gorgeous gourmand that doesn’t feel redundant in a world of too many citrus gourmands.
