By the editors · 2 min readGinger snaps open with a hot, slightly sweet burn that cardamom immediately softens into a dusty, aromatic haze. The spices ride a thin cedar spine, letting guaiac wood’s smoked-tea nuance drift in before the base folds everything into a dark vanilla-patchouli paste. Musk arrives late, not clean but faintly oily, stretching the resins so they cling to skin like cooled tar. After two hours the ginger ember is gone, leaving a fuzzy brown accord where sweet earth, blond wood and musk trade places every few minutes. Projection stays within arm’s length; it behaves like a discreet winter cardigan rather than a statement coat.
