The art of toffee making in Turkey is an ancient and revered tradition, a blending of sweet and aromatic syrups and natural oils. Istanbul celebrates this confectionary art by combining a rich toffee note- sweet, warm, and syrupy- with an extraordinary neroli oil distilled in the Himalayas to produce a sugared orange blossom to make hearts melt and mouths water. Lemon tea adds smoothness and an extra burst of hesperidic freshness, while the juiciness of ripe grapes and the creamy richness of vanilla coax new beauty from the gourmand accord. Unique'e puts a warning next to their notes list that Istanbul might be dangerously addictive- having now worn it, we're inclined to agree.
