Dark Ginger Spicecake

Dark Ginger Spicecake by Solstice Scents is a fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Angela St.John. The fragrance features Patchouli, Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, Benzoin, Gingerbread and Earthy Notes. "Gingerbread Cookies crash into a dark earthy corruption of patchouli and vetiver, accented by cedar wood.  A smooth amber accord softens the edges and ties the gingerbread and dirty earth notes together. A few drops of candied vanillic benzoin, molasses and warm ginger emerge with the earthy notes and amber on the dry down.  This perfume opens with a bold spicy gingerbread with a cinnamon bark overtone. There is a great deal of vetiver and smooth aged patchouli lurking just beneath but you'll also detect a light woodsy cedar. These notes serve to temper the sweetness and add dark and mysterious depth.  The spicy elements of the gingerbread do lessen as this perfume wears and the base notes begin to take over about 45 minutes to an hour in. At this point, the molasses in the gingerbread will start to come forward rather than the spicier aspects and the longer this wears, the more dominant the vetiver and patchouli become. Over time, the gingerbread transforms closer to a molasses-heavy iced ginger snap cookie without cinnamon. This is perfect for those who like foodie blends a bit darker." (From the brand's website.)
