Molly, 24, playful company based in De Pijp

Half past ten, a bar with a proper ice programme somewhere off the Ferdinand Bolstraat, and Molly is two questions into an argument with the bartender about how a drink should be built. She wins it politely. The evening she likes best starts late, stays in one good room rather than touring four mediocre ones, and ends whenever the music does. If your flight lands at nine, this is the shape of night that works.

At 24 she is warm first and playful second, which is the right way round. Confidence is the third quality and it never tips into anything harder. The record reads 164 centimetres, curvy, long dark brown hair with a wave in it, brown eyes, English. Bold glam with a flirtatious edge is how she puts it herself, and the four frames, lit by candle and low purple light, do not contradict her.

House music is the genuine enthusiasm, the older Amsterdam strand of it, and she can name the rooms in this city worth going to on a Thursday. Craft cocktails follow from the same instinct for something made carefully rather than quickly, an interest Tina shares in exactly the same detail. Vintage cars is the third and least expected, learned from a father who restored them, and she will identify anything interesting parked on a canal street mid-sentence.

De Pijp is home, which puts the best bars in the city within walking distance of her door, central hotels a few minutes by cab, and the airport hotels a clean run south. Molly is built for the second half of an evening, so a late booking suits her better than an early one. Company from €180 per hour, with a longer night quoted plainly before it starts rather than totalled up afterwards.
