For a hit of sweet contradiction, reach for the refreshing appeal of Miu Miu's Miutine Eau de Parfum. The fragrance opens with a fresh layer of wild strawberry, drawn from the French-bred 'Mara des bois' variety. Inspired by the season's turn away from overly dessert-like notes into more nuanced, ripe-smelling fruits, this creates a lightly effervescent first impression. As the scent settles, a gardenia accord unfurls at the heart – think creamy petals edged in mossy green, with a subtle fruitiness that builds on the top note. Finally comes the dry-down: a glorious coupling of vanilla brown sugar and patchouli oil, creating a deep and warm centre that cuts through the entire scent profile. Memorable and filled with contrasts, this eau de parfum is housed in a luxe gold-capped, matelassé glass bottle.
