Asian inspired fragrance for Asian fusion dinner

This is an intriguing mix of dark and fresh. Very unisex and reminds me a bit of Portfino 97 by Victoria Beckham. It's got some of my favourite elements: grapefruit, ginger, mate, cardamom and leather - and represents the darker half of this Floraiku 'Shadowing' pairing - and though with that bright opening it doesn't feel like it would be, that does come through as it dries down with a hint of woody smokiness.

For whatever reason, perhaps the amount of lotions I'd slapped onto my skin that evening, this really lasted and projected well- possibly too well towards the end of the day as I had to wash it off ready for bed in the end (but that could be a case of my slight dehydration headache talking! I always seem a bit more sensitive to smells when I've got a headache)
