Botrytis

Ginestet Botrytis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Botrytis settles into a heart of Honey, Jasmine, Dried Fruits, and Wine Grape. Ginestet's Botrytis carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is Ginestet's rich, boozy honey absolute, a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand experience. People either adore its opulent sweetness and unique wine-like character, or find it overwhelmingly syrupy, even headache-inducing. Be warned: performance is wildly inconsistent across reviewers.

Its potent sweetness and wine-like accords make it less suitable for formal office settings, where it might overwhelm.

About

Botrytis opens with an intoxicating rush of sweet, dried fruits, reminiscent of a fine dessert wine. Soon, a rich, golden honey takes centre stage, interwoven with the subtle warmth of gingerbread and a whisper of delicate jasmine. As it dries, a luxurious amber accord emerges, grounding the sweetness in a cozy, lingering finish. It's a complex, edible embrace.
