Why You’ll Like It

• If you enjoy deep, atmospheric woods-resin fragrances that lean mysterious and bold rather than just fresh or fruity.

• The spicy-ginger opening gives you intrigue; the rich vanilla-honey-neroli foundation adds warmth and depth.

• It feels like a refined “evening in the forest” scent—a great choice for cool nights, special occasions, or when you want something with character.

Try It Before You Commit
Use the 1 ml sample and test throughout:

• At ~10 minutes: Check how the ginger/bergamot opening sits on your skin—does it feel strong and pleasant or overpowering?

• At ~1–2 hours: Observe how the warmer resin/vanilla/honey stages emerge—do they develop nicely on your skin?

• After ~3–4+ hours: How well does the base linger? Does it leave a comfortable but noticeable trail?

• Also test in different settings (cool vs warm weather; indoors vs outdoors; on skin vs on clothing) to see how the scent works for you.
