    The Experience

    Cool ginger, patchouli warmth.

    Top Notes · 0-10 minutes

    Clean heat, like biting into spice without fire. The bergamot gives it brightness; the ginger makes it crackle. Cardamom adds an aromatic lift that lifts the whole opening off the skin.

    The Story

    Why it exists.

    Christophe Raynaud designed this fragrance to capture the cool-spiced ginger trail that made the line distinctive. The Ourika Gardens in Morocco supply the orange blossom at the heart, a white floral with a clean, slightly bitter elegance that transforms what could have been a straightforward spicy fragrance into something luminous and alive. The ginger note shimmers at the top, offering an immediate bright warmth that feels both modern and timeless, while the floral heart softens the edges into something deeply inviting rather than sharp or aggressive.
