By the editors · 2 min readGinger snaps open with a fizzy, peppery heat that crackles against the bright acid of lemon and grapefruit, creating an effervescent citrus-spark that feels almost carbonated. Orange blossom slides in, folding its honeyed white petals around the spice to soften the edges while nutmeg dusts the petals with a dry, woody warmth that keeps the heart from turning syrupy. As the sparkle subsides, tonka bean and vanilla pour a smooth, almond-cream blanket over cedar shavings, the wood staying clean and blond rather than resinous, while musk hovers like warm skin to trap the lingering spice in a close, sweet haze. Projection stays polite, a gentle citrus-wood aura perfect for office days or weekend brunch in spring sunshine.
