Unisex Perfume Serge Lutens EDP Five O'Clock Au Gingembre 50 ml

Tea, Bergamot, Candied Ginger, Cinnamon, Woody Notes, Cacao, Honey, Amber, Patchouli, Pepper

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre by Serge Lutens is a fragrance that elegantly captures the essence of a traditional English tea time. The name, which translates to "Five O'Clock with Ginger," is inspired by the ritual of afternoon tea, specifically the tradition of serving candied ginger during this time.

The fragrance opens with the mildly spicy and fruity-sweet scent of bergamot. The heart of the perfume is a spicy, sugared, and honeyed wood, which is centered around the key note of candied ginger. This is beautifully complemented by middle notes of cinnamon and woodsy notes. The base notes consist of cacao, honey, amber, patchouli, and pepper, adding depth and warmth to the scent.

Despite its gourmand notes and references to English tea time, the fragrance unfolds as an oriental tale of candied fruit, sweet incense smoke, carved sandalwood boxes, and patchouli-scented cashmere shawls. It's a crisp wood composition, with just enough sweet amber nuances to make it interesting. This balance between oriental amber fantasy and gourmand richness makes Five O'Clock Au Gingembre a unique and alluring fragrance.
