Men's Fragrance in a Women's Bottle
The title of my comment may sound a bit strange, but it describes this scent very well and accurately in my opinion.

Pink Ginger is a flanker of the regular “Want,” which has a white cap. By the way, I find this plastic cap quite odd and oversized, but let's get to the scent.

Pink Ginger starts, as described, with citrus accords and a hefty dose of pepper. This is what I can perceive most clearly right away. Already now, I inevitably get associations with a men's fragrance, but I want to be patient and give this scent its chance. Slowly, a bitter vanilla comes into the heart, which is also pleasantly warm, but for my taste, it could have been sweeter to tone down the pepper a bit. Floral notes of rose and heliotrope timidly knock at the door, but are not let in. Here too, the fragrance could have taken a turn towards the more feminine, but unfortunately, that hasn't quite succeeded here. In the end, the scent is underscored by woods, which enhances the overall impression.

Surely this fragrance will find its lovers; I can really imagine it being something for male vanilla enthusiasts, or for women who also enjoy scents with a masculine touch. Personally, I had expected something different from it. But since it was a blind buy, I can cope with that.

round yet angular
Today I swayed to the shopping center amidst treacherous gusts of wind, as the day was gloomy and overcast, and I was thirsty for colorful variety.

The display in the car wanted to tell me something with its equally colorful pictograms - but I didn’t understand it.
Maybe I should turn back?
No, I had to check on things at my perfume shop.
Of course, just looking.

My Bettina floated towards me with a pink orb - and suggested I give it a try.

Based on the color and shape, I expected something rosy and sweet - which was indeed delivered at the start.
The full vanilla was the roundness to it.
The neroli spreads a certain smoothness.
But then Pink Ginger develops a charming individuality through the ginger and woody notes.
Distinct corners and edges where the nose likes to linger.
The soft rose transforms into an expressive magenta - and from there into a mysterious violet.
This fragrance, which starts off so harmlessly, has an unexpected depth and enormous longevity.

No - I couldn't resist, this magic orb had to come with me.

On the way back, the display showed me a glowing exclamation mark.
I understood that.

I don't smell either ginger or mandarin, nor any other fruit. I would describe it as synthetically sweet-vanilla.

I only smell tobacco and vanilla. In the end, it gets slightly floral with a hint of delicate rose. Simple but good.

Vanilla, woody, spicy - very strong and long-lasting and very sweet. Not fruity at all for me and thank God no oud. "punchy"

I don't find it fruity-fresh at all, for me it leans more towards a spicy-woody-vanilla direction & Oud is also part of the mix!

A bit of lemon, a bit of mangosteen, a bit more vanilla than last year & a pink cap - Voila, Pink Ginger.

Fresh ginger with grapefruit, then like the previous Want, just a bit more citrusy.

I find it spicy and oriental with a certain charisma. Vanilla and ginger are prominent. Unisex, really great!

For me, it's a unisex scent. Pepper and vanilla dominate, I hardly notice any fruity notes.

Fully synthetic grapefruit - ginger - fruit bomb. Bottle copied from Empreinte - Courreges. Guaranteed flop. Such a waste of plastic.
