Gentle and golden
Transparent, light, and very warm. This isn't a "sharp" ginger, but a warm-smooth-base of ginger, like a soft spicy blanket wrapped around a vase of flowers.
It's not quite a watercolour of a fragrance but it's getting there - it's very present, but there's a lot of "space" around the scent. It announces itself, but it's not overpowering, and from my singular test it doesn't project much. Twilly by Hermes claims similar notes, but they're more cousins than siblings - Twilly is 'stronger', with a bigger punch of florals from the tuberose and the citrus providing more sparkle. This one, in contrast, is softer, more rounded - quieter and older.
Very lily-forward in the florals but it's overall well-blended between that and the ginger - you do more or less get exactly what the name suggests. Cosy is a good word for it - it reminds me of a lazy Sunday afternoon, slowly basking in a sunbeam.
