By the editors · 2 min readGinseng & Cafeína opens on a thick spice cloud — cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, and a touch of bitter citrus. Lavender and a vague fruit accord keep it from reading as purely culinary, but the spice does most of the early talking.
The heart turns resinous: incense, amber, elemi, and a soft peach create a warm, balsamic middle that bridges the spice into the long drydown. Ginseng anchors the base alongside vanilla, sandalwood, and tobacco, with maltol giving the finish a faint roasted-caramel sweetness reminiscent of coffee grounds.
It's denser and more compositionally ambitious than its Nativa SPA body-care siblings — the kind of thing that holds up in cold weather and after-dark wear.
