Ineke Evening Edged in Gold ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 30 December 2007 16 Comments

Ineke Evening Edged in Gold fragranceComing in late January from Ineke, the fifth fragrance in their 'letter' series: Evening Edged in Gold. The scent was inspired by the night blooming flowers in perfumer Ineke Rühland's garden:

This story opens with bright top notes of plum and gold osmanthus, spotlights the night bloomers Angel’s Trumpet and Midnight Candy, and closes with rich base notes of saffron, dark woods and leather. Evening Edged in Gold is an elegant, sophisticated scent with a warm, luxuriant tonality.

Additional notes include cinnamon bark. Ineke Evening Edged in Gold will be available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum for $88. (via ineke)

Note: Midnight Candy is also known as Night Phlox.

    …and Angel's Trumpet is a particularly fragrant Datura.
    If the white flowers aren't too powdery (as phlox and datura can be in the garden) this sounds quite lovely.

    We grow daturas, and somehow I assumed (maybe quite wrongly) that most gardeners knew the plant (?) But I'd never heard of Midnight Candy. I'll have to hope this isn't powdery too — powdery white florals rarely suit me.

    I've been really appreciating plum and fig notes lately; they lend a sweetness that might appeal to a large audience, but are subdued enough to avoid becoming sugary-sweet. I look forward to trying “Evening Edged in Gold”.

    Mmmmm… cant decide about this one! Assuming the datura doesn't kill me, it could be grand!

    Shouldn't be too sugary-sweet with those base notes, I'd think, but we'll see!

    Datura kills, no doubt about it :-)

    Mmmm… osmanthus and saffron. Could be a winner. The price is interesting. I have the feeling I should buy that bottle of Balmy Days before it becomes $88. Why do older perfumes suddenly become more expensive the moment a new release is launched?

    Happy New Year to all!
    Evening Edged in Gold sounds interesting. I tried some of her others and they all end in musk–and my nose doesn't like musk. Doesn't matter if you call it “clean,” “white,” or “bright,” to my nose it says, “dirty laundry hamper of a 15-year old boy. After gym.” But this one. . . .leather and saffron. . .if the datura isn't overpowering, it's a winner.

    LOL at “dirty laundry hamper of a 15-year old boy. After gym.” — that is not compelling!

    I love musk. On me it turns into the most wonderful clean smell. Since most fragrances contain musk, it must be your skin chemistry ;-) Laundry basket… yeuch.
