What does Nutmeg & Ginger smell like?

Ginger gives a bright, citrusy opening, and nutmeg in the heart softens the spice. Sandalwood and cedarwood leave a woody, faintly powdery base, with the freshness running through the whole wear.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, which puts it in between.
