A truly unique scent where fresh, zesty ginger meets delicate rose. It's a crowd-pleasing, uplifting number, though some find it a bit too fleeting. If you love ginger, this is a must-try, despite its discontinued status.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

This is a great everyday fragrance, particularly suited for casual wear or the office due to its fresh, clean accords and moderate projection. While generally light enough for most situations, its energising spice might be a bit much for very formal events. It's too subtle for a romantic date night.

About

Zingy, effervescent ginger jumps out from the start, sparking with bright bergamot and lemon before settling into a heart of dewy, fresh rose, spiced with a light peppery kick. It's a surprisingly harmonious blend, avoiding any soapy harshness, and eventually dries down to a clean, transparent musk and subtle cedar, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated freshness.
