I had concern that this would be far too savory. However, I agree with the other reviewers. It's very herbaceous and spicy. It opens up smelling like fresh red ginger that's been grated and as it dries down the coriander note becomes more prominent. It's magic.

Finally a herbaceous, citrusy warm weather scent that seems to last on my skin! If you're worried about this scent being too savory, don't, this is super herbal and aromatic. My nose skips right past the star anise (a good thing for me), and straight to lots of cilantro, cardamom and basil with a lovely strong ginger note and a pop of citrus.

This is a gorgeous ginger and herb-centered fragrance, done in the colognia structural format. Ginger, basil and cardamom immediately upon the spray and it veers citrus-like without being sporty. I would never consider this a gourmand in the classic sense

I was expecting this to be a lot more of a warm, spicy, vegetal broth scent. Wrong. It is still such an interesting scent, but far more citrus forward. Ginger and grapefruit notes are most prominent for me. The patchouli and cedarwood add some slight warmth.
