Meringue---sugary, whipped cream done well
Hilde Soliani Quin – Italian Meringa is a 2020 release from the house of many gourmands by the queen of gourmands herself. This scent very literally smells of the meringue part of, say, a lemon meringue pie; in other words, sugary, whipped vanilla cream, and in that respect, it’s quite delicious, most closely reminiscent to the beloved Sweet Home of the same house, which smells of sugared chestnuts, another gourmand favorite of mine. Italian Meringa is a little cleaner, that is, simpler than Sweet Home in that rather than a hint of nuttiness, there is on the sugar with cream, and it very effectively balanced the sweetness with an aspect of lightness, all while performing decently well. It also balances the sugariness and creaminess, a hallmark of good icing/frosting, still necessary with meringue with a lighter overall target in mind.
As with most of the brand, Quin - Italian Meringa is sold by Luckyscent in the US at $165 for 100ml, a reasonable price for niche creation. It’s not among the most unique in the line but is quite lovely and one I’d recommend trying.
