There is something unashamedly feminine and vulnerable about Mia, as if it were a modern historical drama in the form of a noble fragrance, with fluttering eyelashes and a radiant romanticism of naivety. On first spray, it opens with sweet-yet-tart, jammy aromas of red fruits like raspberry and blackcurrant that set the tone for a wild, passionate olfactory delight ... with a few plot twists along the way. Just as the sweet tang of candied rose petals tempts you, a crisp, green, stalky bite of lily of the valley and freesia follows like an icy stare across a garden party full of rumours. Later, when the fragrance sets in, a golden aura of earthy patchouli and warm amber leaves behind an air of mystery.
