Feijoa

Im April verschenkt Neuseeland sie vergeblich. Riecht wie ein Süßwarenladen, schmeckt wie eine leicht körnige Birne.

12 pairings for Feijoa.

Joghurt

classic

Lactic acid against a floral sugar that has almost no sourness of its own.

Vanille

common

Vanillin lines up with the ester perfume and stops it reading as cheap sweets.

Apfel

common

Both carry the same estery top note; the apple gives it the body it lacks.

Limette

common

The perfume is loud and the acid is quiet. Correct the imbalance directly.

Ingwer

common

Gingerol heat under a very floral sugar; it stops the crumble tasting like perfume.

Sahne

common

Fat holds volatile esters that otherwise disappear ten minutes after cutting.

Gin

uncommon

Juniper resin catches the green edge under the perfume. A southern-hemisphere sour.

Kokosnuss

uncommon

Lactones and esters in the same tropical register; the fat carries both.

Two loud floral perfumes; use half of each or the whole thing smells like soap.

Shared thiol-and-ester profile. New Zealand grows both in the same valleys.

Cocoa butter is the only fat bland enough to let the perfume run the show.

Auster

wild

Green-floral acid on brine; strange, southern, and better than a mignonette.
