CRWN Infinity – Izmir Romantic

Izmir is a city on Turkey's Aegean coast, and that is the only place-name in this flavour's title. Izmir Romantic closes the CRWN Infinity's longest stretch of house names, five in a row from Funky Monkey onwards, and the very next entry, Mango Smoothie, swings back to a name that carries its own ingredients.

The city reference puts Izmir Romantic with Baghdad Nights and Habibilicious as the three Infinity names that nod towards the Middle East and the shisha lounge, a thread that makes sense for a brand whose list also includes Double Apple. For the contents, CRWN's packaging is specific: orange, watermelon, strawberry and mint. Each of those words appears on at least one other Infinity box (orange on Lady Killer and Diamond Dust, watermelon on Love 66, strawberry on Martino, mint on six more house names), but no other box puts these four together. We relay them as printed, with no impressions of ours added.

Izmir Romantic and its neighbour run on the same device, 25,000 puffs with a 900mAh battery recharged over USB-C. Mango Smoothie states its main ingredient in its name; Izmir Romantic states its ingredients on the box. Either way you can see what you are ordering.
