I was on vacation and had planned to check out the Jo Malone fragrances. For this purpose, I had selected three or four scents that I wanted to test. Nutmeg & Ginger was not among them.
While testing, the nice lady suggested that I could try this one too, as it is a classic (Jo Malone's first fragrance) and very popular.
Well... I thought, let her do her thing; it was too complicated and exhausting for me to explain to her in English what I wanted.
Once I smelled the fragrance, it wouldn’t let me go.
I walked around on vacation for days. I had to have this scent.
And now I have it. A fragrance that can be worn all year round.
The scent begins.
I cut open a ginger root. The first impression is citrusy. Very citrusy. Then the ginger becomes sharper and more like what one imagines ginger to be.
With this image, I can't move forward.
The nutmeg softens the sharpness of the ginger and gives the fragrance a slight sweetness. Sweet is the fragrance still far from.
The woody base also reveals itself after a while and takes away some of the ethereal freshness of the scent.
Throughout, the fragrance remains almost as it was at the beginning. It is only complemented by a few aspects as it develops.
The lemony freshness, the sharp herbal-spicy ginger, the sweetish-herbal-spicy nutmeg, and the wood.
The freshness lasts until the end.
