Twelfth Night is steeped in history and is a night of merriment and this ode to that night of celebration is bright and full of surprises. I could drown in Nui Cobalt's realistic rose accords and in Twelfth Night Masquerade Ball the roses are tiered under the sugar encrusted orange blossoms first as a sweet white rose then later reappear as a deeper velvet red rose with a fizzy caramel pop with the labdanum. This is a blend that morphs every time I wear it and today the sugar bedecked orange blossoms are centre stage and last the longest with the roses and lavender as supporting roles. Quite a few stories and traditions surrounding winter involve the "calling back the sun" and Twelfth Night Masquerade Ball is a royal invitation to shining thoughts of coming warmth and an early spring.
