By the editors · 2 min readGinger snaps open with bright lemon and grapefruit, the citrus oils shearing the root’s heat into a cool sparkle that feels like crushed ice with zest on top. Heart folds in crisp pear and spearmint, the fruit’s watery sweetness diluting the ginger fire while orange blossom adds a clean soap sheen that keeps the accord breezy rather than syrupy. Vetiver threads earthy smoke through the woods, letting sandalwood warm into a creamy skin-scent halo that sits closer than the opening splash. Projection drops to intimate arm’s length within three hours, leaving a soft citrus-wood glow perfect for office days or weekend brunch when temperatures sit in the 60-75 °F range.
