Eau de thé & Gingembre
A walk through a sunlit lemon grove: citron and lemongrass, a hit of CO2-extracted ginger, and a dry cedar-vetiver finish.
Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira
A lemon grove is the scene: Serge de Oliveira walking between trees full of sun on summer days to clear the mind, where barely ripe lemons give off a lively, heady smell that mixes with the clean air. This cologne sets out to capture that rush of freshness.
Bergamot, citron, mandarin and lemongrass open with a fizzy, peel-sharp brightness, and the ginger from the name, a CO2 extract, adds warmth and prickle on top. Flora, Jasmine Sambac Olessance and geranium form the heart, with the geranium's leafy edge bridging fruit and petals.
Amber wood, Haitian vetiver, Atlas cedar and Bourbon vanilla absolute sit underneath, leaving a dry woody trail with a touch of sweetness once the citrus fades. For the perfumer, it is a scent for hot summer days.
