White Tea Ginger Lily
Neroli and bergamot open the bottle with a clean orange-blossom shimmer, but the perfume's center belongs to ginger — not the candied bakery kind, the raw-root warmth that catches at the back of the throat.

By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open the bottle with a clean orange-blossom shimmer, but the perfume's center belongs to ginger — not the candied bakery kind, the raw-root warmth that catches at the back of the throat. Violet leaf cools that heat into something green and faintly metallic, while the violet itself adds a thin powdery cushion underneath.
The drydown softens toward tonka, cedar, and a clean white musk, holding the ginger in suspension long after the citrus has gone. It reads as a daytime tea-ritual perfume — alert, scrubbed, vegetal — and stays close to the skin rather than projecting across a room.
