Friday Edition
by El Ganso
Friday Edition by El Ganso is a sweet, spicy gourmand fragrance with a distinct cake-like character. It opens with a blend of anise, cardamom, and bergamot, delivering an aromatic and fresh introduction that quickly evolves into a creamy, soft-sweet profile. The heart features lavender, mint, and sage, adding a light herbal freshness, while the base notes of cashmere wood, sandalwood, and tonka bean create a warm, slightly musky, and indulgent drydown. The overall impression is one of smooth, consistent sweetness with no strong shifts in character, resembling a dessert or confectionery rather than a traditional masculine or unisex scent. Performance is moderate, with longevity and sillage that sustain well into the evening, making it ideal for night wear. It feels more aligned with a niche approach than typical designer fragrances, standing out due to its soft, wearable sweetness.
