Ginger, spice & everything nice
This is a very evocative perfume for me so I'm going more on images than actual notes.

It starts off giving a strong dried flower note, without the dustiness though. Dried flowers that my mother kept in my childhood home. It then gives dried tea-leaves, dried fruits, gingerbread cookies, just like I used to get with my tea at a teahouse in my hometown. We would meet there every winter vacation and take over the teahouse, my high school friends and I, we would order litres and litres of tea, and this reminds me precisely of that time, coming in from the cold outside, the hot tea, the infused fruits and leaves, the little ginger biscuit that I would dip in the cup.

It also makes me think of the women in my family, my grandma's old handkerchief... I wouldn't say this is necessarily a vintage scent, but it does make me think of a luxurious apartment of an elegant old lady that has been gathering small luxuries all throughout her life.

I also get a slight similarity with Heliaca by Le Couvant, a scent based around ginger and that is also a winter-vacation-back-in-the-hometown for me.

Must test more, but I strongly feel for this and it's going directly on my wishlist!
