Ninfeo Mio

Very natural smelling fragrance! Starts with bitter citrus opening and quickly goes to green accord (with fig leaf being one of them, very tart and flowery green) and moves to woods at the base. Leaning masculine, in my opinion, and certainly is not for everybody.Mature audience, 30+ The green accord has a lot going in it that some people misinterpret. So, try on your skin before buying it. Very gardeny and outdoorsy, summer fragrance hands down and reminds me of Mediterranean garden with fig trees and a bunch of aromatic greens. No sweetness at all in this one. Performance is average and projection is only strong in the first hour or so, even though in hot weather it will pop off your skin unexpectedly 6-7 hours later. It also has this coconut overtone (even though there is no coconut note officially in it) and this fragrance can not be over-sprayed (2-3 sprays top). If you like tart fig leaf, bitter orange and woods combination, definitely check this one out. Not a big crowd pleaser but will get you noticed as it is very unusual and good quality.

Ninfeo Mio is a realistic unisex green citrus that gets the balance right. Just the right amount of green, citrus, and wood. The fig at the top of it all makes this a perfume, and stops it from veering into citrus cleaning product territory I can imagine a person who likes the smell of Aveda products liking Ninfeo Mio. It doesn’t actually smell like an Aveda product, it just has that vibe. I get just the smallest note of clean sweat. It reminds me of a specific moment umpteen years ago where I chatted with someone after they’d just played racquetball indoors. It’s a good smell, but it’s atypical in mainstream perfumery. Along with the citrus and wood, I imagine this dash of sweat as a part of the experience of basking in the sun on Ninfeo Mio’s Mediterranean island, and I love it.

Goutal Ninfio Mio, is as green as they come! I don’t smell one flower in this just citrus and herbaceous notes. Definitely unisex but when I wear it I love (female) it! Right away it starts out green and leafy but once it settles on skin there is a creaminess to it. It’s almost sharp, but then evens out and gets creamy iI believe its the woody notes, I though it gives it a musky feel. I also get a fig mixed with dirt, but not in a bad way in a very good way. I will be wearing this a lot next month and into spring. Longevity is very good 4 to 8 hours especially on clothes. Sillage is also very good, leaves a trail behind you. If you like a clean figgy leafy scent this is it! Perfect for spring and summer day or night I will always have this in my collection!

Probably my favorite scent. Perfect for a summer day: refreshing but not ephemeral or linear like many summer scents. Beautiful mix of green (primarily fig leaf), citrus (various bitter fruits), and creamy woodiness. Relaxing and uplifting, and surprisingly complex and multilayered. Sadly, Goutal is not currently distributing to Germany, and I'm hesitant to chance paying twice the list price for an Ebay bottle that might have been stored poorly, so I'm hoping they get back to usual business soon. There's really nothing else like it; there are plenty of good bitter citrus scents, sweet figs, and vegetal greens, but nothing that combines it all over a woody base like this one.

I love the smell of box (the plant), and this has the most gloriously true box note - snapped-pea, crushed-leaf, spicy a little like fresh bay laurel - together with sappy green fig and a ton of super-juicy lemon/citron type citrus. Some people perceive box as having an unpleasant cat pee odour, which is probably why a few commenters have found the scent quite urinous. I'm not one of those people, though, and happily waft this stuff through the hot summer months - it's my favourite citrus-plus. There's a milky-fig-leaf-sap element to the drydown that tips this towards the lactonic (in the broadest sense). I agree with Amour, Michele: this smells very natural, in a good way.
