Gin
by Commodity
Gin by Commodity delivers a crisp, citrus-forward opening with zesty lime and fresh grapefruit, quickly evolving into a clean, woody-musky base with hints of ginger, juniper berries, and subtle smokiness. The perfume exudes a refreshing, slightly effervescent character reminiscent of a gin and ginger ale, with a light, airy quality that feels upscale and restrained. It suits casual daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer, with moderate sillage and a moderate longevity that aligns with its clean, simple profile. The fragrance leans masculine but is genuinely unisex in effect, with a refined elegance that feels more like a country club or Robert Redford-inspired aesthetic than a bold statement. The performance is moderate, fading fairly quickly and not projecting strongly beyond arm’s length—it’s more about subtle presence than lasting impact.
