Spirit Of The Hellenic Republic
Ginger, tarragon, and bergamot open dry and slightly bitter together — the tarragon licorice-edged and herbal, the ginger zinging fresh rather than spicy-warm, the bergamot quickly faded.

By the editors · 2 min readGinger, tarragon, and bergamot open dry and slightly bitter together — the tarragon licorice-edged and herbal, the ginger zinging fresh rather than spicy-warm, the bergamot quickly faded. It's a sharp aromatic-citrus opening.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, and osmanthus form a soft heart. The osmanthus is the standout — apricot-leathery and slightly tea-like — bridging the green-herbal top with the resinous base. Jasmine and ylang-ylang add creamy floral warmth.
Oakmoss, ambergris, and amber settle the base, dry and salty-warm. Ambergris lends a faint marine-skin radiance underneath the moss. Overall character: a green-aromatic floral with a salty-mossy-amber close, slightly old-fashioned in its chypre architecture. Moderate projection, long earthy drydown.
