Kenanga
Wet hair after a swim on the south coast.
Yellow floral, marine, ginger
The story
East Javanese kenanga is fresher and greener than ylang-ylang from elsewhere. We use the first fraction of the distillation, the brightest one, from a distiller in Blitar.
Red ginger and sea salt make it a day at the beach: sun on skin, wind in hair, a flower tucked behind the ear.
When to wear it Daytime, holidays, cotton dresses.
