Top Notes: Spicy Accord & Ginger
The opening is lively, spicy and stimulating: the spices and ginger immediately give an energetic, slightly “raw” impression, with a vibrant and modern soul.
Heart notes: Lavender (Lavandin) + aromatic accents

The drydown is earthy, woody, and robust. Vetiver adds a natural, slightly earthy, and virile touch, while warm woods and guaiac wood enhance the depth and persistence. The drydown reveals a warm, enveloping, masculine, and sophisticated profile.
