About

Upon first spray, a surprising freshness of ginger oil cuts through, providing an unexpected zesty kick. This quickly mellows, giving way to the star of the show: a rich, almost cocoa-like depth from the cacao pod. As it settles, the creamy sweetness of tonka bean emerges, binding the spicy and gourmand elements into a smooth, comforting base. It oscillates between fresh and deeply sweet, without committing fully to either.
