Platino

A transcendently light almond-infused meringue drizzled with coconut, caramel and vanilla. Platino is definitely delicious, but it is also frothy and airy, which is unexpected given the rich dessert-like notes it incorporates. The luscious blend of gourmand elements is buoyed by exquisitely delicate jasmine and mimosa and the result is a dreamy cloud cake that floats effortlessly over the drudgery of the everyday world, trailing a gentle puff of powder. This is not a simple bonbon, but a confection of the highest order, intricately layered to seduce and delight us. The insistent hint of bitterness from the almond counters the sugary caramel and the cool filigree of white flowers balances the cozy warmth of the soft musk. Delectable and comforting , but with enough contradictions to keep us intrigued for a very long time.
