Like the sacred Japanese incense ceremony, the magnetic aroma swirls upward. Blending the pure and sensual notes of black cardamom with the fresh lotus, this serene and deep fragrance becomes rich and comforting through amber. Profoundly mysterious, it is unique and different. Top notes: Black cardamom, pink pepper, ginger Middle notes: Black orchid, water lily, wild ginger flower, rose Base notes: Leather, agarwood (oud), ambergris, frankincense Dark Amber Ginger Lily – Black amber and wild ginger flower. The first fragrance from the Black Bottle series. Although this fragrance highlights agarwood, which is highly valued in Japanese incense ceremonies, I am not familiar with its scent and can only perceive a calm, steady woody note as listed in the fragrance pyramid. The strong oriental tones of ginger and cardamom are most distinct, followed by the clean, fleeting, and watery softness of wild ginger flower. The dry down features heavy sandalwood and frankincense, combined with leather notes, creating a warm, sweet, and grounded sensation.
