Gingembre & Vétiver

The very first spray hits with a sharp bergamot and lavender punch that wakes you right up, but it's the spicy gingerbread note mixing with the vetiver that keeps me sniffing my wrist hours later. Lasts surprisingly well for a cologne and the mandarin sweetness never turns cloying.

The dry-down is where this really shines—that Haitian vetiver keeps it grounded while the mandarin gives it a bright start. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch whiffs of the spicy gingerbread warmth on my scarf late into the afternoon.

The gingerbread accord is what sold me—it’s warm and unexpected, while the lavender keeps everything fresh on the skin. I sprayed it this morning and could still catch the woody dry-down on my scarf at dinner.
