EDITORIAL“Kanebo Milano Collection 2017: A Study in Clean Florals”
The opening of Milano Collection 2017 is a burst of crisp green apple and tart orange. A splash of passionfruit adds a hint of tropical sweetness. This initial brightness is fleeting, fading within fifteen minutes into something much softer. The fruity start is clean rather than syrupy.
As the scent settles, the heart reveals a bouquet of orchid, rose, and jasmine. Lily of the valley provides a watery, green texture that prevents the florals from becoming too heavy. The orchid is the star here, offering a soft powdery feel that mimics luxury cosmetics. It wears like a sheer veil on the skin.
The accords shift toward a clean white musk in the dry down. A quiet touch of amber adds warmth, but the overall impression remains fresh and soapy. It behaves like an extension of your skin chemistry. The musk is dry and clean, avoiding any heavy animalic tones.
