Ginger and saffron over amber and jasmine with sandalwood and vanilla.

Ginger

Zesty, warm ginger, like the ginger in zobo or kunu

Warm and honey-like, a bit like the inside of a brand-new leather bag

Citrus

Fresh and zesty, like squeezed lemons and oranges

Amber

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

Jasmine

The sweet white “lady of the night” flowers on compound fences

Rose

Fresh red roses, like a wedding hall bouquet

Sandalwood

Creamy, smooth wood, like sandalwood soap

Vanilla

Sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream or custard

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
