The pyramid's heart is absent, so the ginger transitions directly into the base, where sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and musk create a warm, enveloping structure. The ginger doesn't disappear — it threads through, giving the sweet-woody base a quietly spiced edge.
The overall character is a compact, intimate oriental: amber-forward, softened by vanilla and musk, lifted faintly by persistent ginger. Projection stays close to skin. Simple in construction, it wears comfortably through cooler days without demanding attention from a room.
