Courreges in Blue Eau de Toilette

By the editors · 2 min readGinger snaps open with a cool, peppery bite that the galbanum sharpens into resinous green ice. The jasmine arrives quickly but stays low, a clean white pulse that softens the sting without adding sweetness. Sandalwood dominates the dry-down, its creamy grain pulling the green edge of oakmoss and a dry cocoa-like patchouli into a smooth woody skin scent. Within an hour the ginger burn is gone, leaving a cool, pale wood accord that smells like driftwood washed in pine-shadowed water. Projection sits at arm’s length for four hours then collapses to a clean mossy whiff detectable only when you move. Spring through early fall office days, especially under light rain, fit its quiet green restraint.
