What does Gin-Seng smell like?
It opens with goji berry, basil and ginger, the last two giving it a green, spicy edge. The heart brings watery fruits, chamomile and ginseng, which soften it with a light sweetness. In the base, Haitian vetiver, cedar and musk settle it onto a woody, earthy footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing into the room, though the number of votes is small and the figures are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on anyone. Chopard Vétiver d'Haïti au Thé Vert and Ex Nihilo The Hedonist (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
