Eau de Parfum

This candied ginger is reserved for tea time, to be savoured in black Wedgwood China. This fragrance is a ritual ceremony. It caters to the quicksilver in us, to our imagination dressed in white gloves.

Opening with brisk ginger, amber spice, and a citric bergamot, Five O’Clock Au Gingembre settles into a calm and warm drydown of light tea and delicate cedar resin on skin with just a hint of honey’s sweetness and cacao. Sharp pepper and the dry, dark wood keep this fragrance from veering toward grandma’s house at the holidays. The path it takes instead leads to a nuanced freshness — an uplifting and inspiring afternoon tea with an insightful friend.
