Citrus Ginger

Citrus Ginger by Dossier is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2019 in the budget price tier. It opens with peppermint, lemon and ginger, moves into vetiver, pink pepper and nutmeg and dries down to sandalwood, frankincense and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Peppermint Icy and sharp. Reads clean but can tip into chewing gum.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.

Heart

Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
