Miss Habanita by Molinard

Very grape and vanilla which is a charming unexpected combination. It has the heady heavy resin qualities of vanilla, a very sweet french vanilla icecream vanilla with the crisp freshness of grape. There’s something candied in the scent, a little bit grape soda, but not cheap soda, like an artisanal grape-vanilla soda in a glass bottle with fancy graphic design. It makes me think of a very worldly teenage girl, perhaps a teenaged Eloise (of the Plaza hotel) sophisticated, aware of quality but still young and playful.
