Five O'Clock Au Gingembre by Serge Lutens, composed by Christopher Sheldrake and released in 2008, is a spiced tea in scent form. Spice is what most people name first, with sweet and woody sides close behind and green, amber and citrus touches.
It opens with tea and bergamot, dry and lightly citrusy, like the first sip of an Earl Grey. The heart is candied ginger and cinnamon over woody notes, warm, sugared and faintly sharp, the ginger giving a pleasant heat. The base adds honey and cocoa for a dark sweetness, pepper to keep it from going soft, and amber and patchouli for a warm, earthy finish.
Wearers mostly report moderate longevity, with about a quarter finding it long-lasting, and the trail is moderate or intimate. It is voted for autumn and winter and a little more for daytime. Worn by anyone, it suits someone who likes ginger and spice but wants them cosy and refined rather than loud, a scent for grey afternoons.
