The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gin Sling by Aaron Terence Hughes is a composition that captures the essence of a vibrant cocktail in liquid form. Launched in 2026, this fragrance opens with tonic water and lemon, creating an effervescent freshness that immediately evokes the initial sip of a perfectly mixed gin sling. The heart of pink grapefruit and ginger adds a zesty warmth, while nutmeg introduces a subtle spiciness that cuts through the sweetness. The base settles into musky and powdery woods, grounding the entire composition with a sophisticated undercurrent.

How to wear it

Start with one to two sprays — the tonic water and lemon notes will open up quickly. The ginger and nutmeg heart takes about 15 minutes to bloom fully, so wait a bit before reapplying if needed. This scent is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from afar.
