I received this as a sample when I bought a house of foundation. As an aside, I love that nui cobalt sends a sample with orders! This scent is really unique. It reminds me of the scent in the spice section of an Asian food market. The ginger creates a crisp yet warm overtone. Maybe it’s the fenugreek and lavender together, but I get star anise. This will never be my daily smell, but it is perfect for those days I want to embrace my own power to embrace change. This would work well as a unisex scent.
