Twilly d'Hermes Eau Ginger

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, clean and airy, the smell of just-washed clothes and open windows.

It opens on peony, moves through candied ginger and ginger, and settles on cedar.

• peony: soft pink flower, watery and lightly rosy
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
