I found the opening to be very impactful and interesting the pink pastel sweetness of pink pepper and iris over an instantly enveloping pillow of musky, dusky, sandy woods. It appeals to me on a very basic level but I went through stages of feeling a little smothered by it's themes but then just wallowing in the loveliness and cozy atmosphere of it all. I could still smell it on my skin this morning, and it was a musky skin scent. Good stuff but by no means great.
This opens with a hard ginger note so if that's not your thing stop here. The vetiver comes through after about 15 to 30 minutes
This is a basic citrus woody fragrance with a big ginger and vetiver profile. It's subtle really well balanced. The powder comes through a lot after 5 or so hours really finishes out with the iris powder profile
I feel like this is a good all year round fragrance the ginger and vetiver do make it stand out so I can see it used for a special occasion but I think it's a perfect everyday scent.
Seems to lean a little more feminine, possibly the iris is why but as a man I'd wear it anytime. If Ingenious Ginger is your thing try this for sure
