"I wanted to capture the contrast of traditional culture and modern technology -- influenced by strong roots and rare earth metals. This fragrance is energizing and uplifting with a fresh, spicy and woody aroma."

I love this, it is so fresh and beautiful. I’ve tried about 10 scent trunk fragrances and this is my second favorite after Marigold, but I think this one is more universally pleasing. Truly lovely beginning to end.
This fragrance is a beautiful melange of zesty ginger (almost effervescent and fizzy) flesh with green tea and jasmine. On the drydown, the powder orris note shows up along with a grounding sandalwood to tie everything together. This fragrance is beautiful in the heat and humidity of summer if you will be outdoors, but pleasant enough to enjoy if you are just around the house doing nothing in particular. It is not an all-day fragrance, but I'd say, after sampling...buy a large enough bottle where re-applying is a non-issue.
