Not In Notable Array
Perhaps it was something in the air, but the last three years of the eighties saw a flowering in the art of perfume: Fahrenheit, Cool Water, Eau Dynamisante, no less than twenty notable works appeared between 1987 and 89.
And though Nina is not one of them, it does show how a mainstream floral could come up with something different. As well as the usual sweet flowery accord there’s a musky biscuit chypre and a dry marigold & orange blossom, which – like a sulky teenager’s comment – is the most interesting part of the conversation. Sadly the blending has a hit and miss feel that holds it back.
