A mouthwateringly electric cocktail of pure ginger refreshment, Zeste de Gingembre is the best showcase yet of James Heeley's talent for creating sophisticated fresh scents that truly energize and delight. There's nothing over-complicated about the structure here- Zeste opens with, appropriately, an eye-poppingly vivid burst of orange zest, sharp, bright lemon, and crisp, tart lime. The heart of fresh ginger is even more straightforward- a crackling fireball of invigorating, nose-tickling spice with a subtle twist of sweetness that leads into a pink pepper and cardamom base that weaves gourmand, aromatic, clean, and woodsy aspects all together in a lingering and increasingly smooth experience. The best fresh scents from Heeley carry truly unforgettable olfactory signatures- the minty pop of Menthe Fraiche, the salty tang of Sel Marin; the intoxicating burn of Zeste de Gingembre places it firmly in that rarefied company.
