The purest pleasures are often the simplest, and nowhere is this more true than with an Italian meringue. In the hands of a masterful pastry chef, two basic ingredients- sugar and whipped cream- become a wonderland of gustatory delight. Deeply rich, indulgently sweet, but with a delightfully complex texture with simultaneously crunchy, chewy, and airy facets. Quin is a mouthwateringly accurate recreation of that perfect bite- a crystalized sugar sweetness that awakens the senses before settling into a more powdered form against the lactic richness of vanilla-infused milk. A touch of musky softness keeps the base airy and gentle, dissolving like meringue on the tongue and leaving you hungry for another heavenly sniff. Quin may be a simple scent, based on a simple dessert- but the results are simply beautiful.
