Unbelievable Value, Beautiful Floral Ginger Tea Scent.
August 2025 - If you’re also heartbroken that this is discontinued, Carolina Herrera 212 Men EDT is like an intense version! It has more longevity and highlights everything I loved about Ginger Lily!

Original Review:

A burst of white tea, then an undercurrent of oranges, with ginger quickly rising.

It sits lightly on the skin, unobtrusive while still remaining ginger and floral. The scent is light, like you're breathing in a cup of white tea.

Absolute steal of a value. I bought a small 1.7 oz bottle for $18.26 USD, barely more than the price of two 1.5 ml sample vials of a fragrance. Instead of two samples, I now have a lovely perfume bottle which I can use for years.

In the US, most department stores like Macy's will carry the White Tea line. If you like it, just buy a bottle or two. At these prices, it's hard to see why you'd miss an opportunity to add a beautiful daily wear fragrance to your collection.

After about 45 minutes, the fragrance still has about the same strength and scent as it did at 10/15 minutes.

This is a good fragrance for reading a book and drinking tea.

This is not the fragrance you want for making a big statement at a wedding, a funeral, or getting revenge on someone who has scorned you.

Definitely do break it out for reading a good book, it'll be excellent company!

Caught another cold? Drink tea with ginger in it!
Hey hey, I'm back with a new fragrance report. Many know that I like tea scents, which is why I've tried many Green Tea fragrances from Elizabeth Arden. The White Tea fragrances are also a great line that has produced quite a few scents by now.

Recently, I tried “Ginger Lily.” So, tea with ginger, which people always recommend to me when I'm sick. Yaaa, it can be annoying to get recommendations from younger people that I’ve known for decades, and I had already given them advice on colds (you know how it is, the youth has no clue about anything,… Just ask them who Gandhi was! Or Michael Jackson. Or what a CD was! Or how to manage the simplest daily tasks WITHOUT having seen a tutorial on TikTok first :DDD). And then they want to give me advice and have no idea themselves, mu ha ha ha :))

Honestly, I already know what to do when I have a cold: suck on tons of throat lozenges, slurp down liters of chicken soup, and depending on the number of consecutive sneezes, do one of the following things:
1 x sneeze: Stay in bed
2 x sneezes: Get a sick note for no less than 2 weeks
3 x sneezes: Whine and complain until a girlfriend (if available) or my mother takes care of me, ha ha :D

Uff… okay, sometimes I actually sneeze 5-6 times in a row, strangely enough, I never have to sneeze with pepper :D

Anyway, back to the scent. So we have a tea fragrance with ginger here. Well, I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I don't mind the scent of ginger. It's just that in terms of taste, it's so-so, depending on the meal. And I prefer to drink teas without ginger… and WITHOUT milk, that had to be said again, because tea + milk = yuck! :D

Okay, now to the scent description!

The scent:
Hmm, somehow the scent starts almost exactly like the original (that is, the very first) White Tea fragrance. This means I smell citrus notes, especially a mandarin, which unfortunately are all extremely weak and quite close to the skin.
The tea is detectable, but relatively weak. It just seems “tea-like” to me rather than being able to say for sure that it is really white tea or mate or some other specific tea. The ginger also seems to be only hinted at, because at least to me it comes across as extremely weak.
Over time, some scent notes come through better, but they still remain close to the skin. So I continue to smell tea in the base, a bit of musk, weak citrus notes, and that's mostly it. Tonka bean is at most hinted at, which is somewhat disappointing since tonka bean is a lovely scent note, and cedar seems to be hardly present at all. The mix overall is quite nice, but as mentioned several times, everything is relatively weak in projection.

The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is once again the absolute biggest criticism here, as the scent really sits weakly on the skin, so it is quite close to the body and can therefore best be perceived by oneself, but even that is only good if you smell close to the sprayed area.
This also makes the longevity seem relatively low with only a few hours of wear.

The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and slim, featuring a white gradient from top to bottom. The fragrance name is written in red letters at the bottom. The neck of the bottle is bronze-colored, topped with a rectangular white cap. Everything is quite simple, but nice to look at. Additionally, the bottle feels good in the hand.

Conclusion:
Soo… overall, we have a nice fragrance here that pleasantly smells of tea, citrus, and ginger, and you don't smell anything synthetic. Unfortunately, the scent is generally extremely weak in projection, so it's best to decant it into a small sprayer to reapply it whenever you want to smell more of the fragrance while on the go.

Its freshness makes it a nice spring and summer scent, but due to the mentioned weak projection, the fragrance is more for oneself, as you won't stand out much with it. But that's okay, because sometimes you just want to enjoy a scent for yourself, and White Tea Ginger Lily is perfect for that.

If someone wants to try a slightly stronger (and sweeter-spicier) ginger tea scent, I would recommend “Five o’clock au gingembre” by Serge Lutens.

Well, there you have it, I've tested another nice tea scent, which I always enjoy doing since I generally like tea, but WITHOUT milk, oops, I think I already mentioned that at the beginning, but honestly, how can you pour MILK into tea, aaaargh! :D
I do love coffee with milk, though, he he :DDD

So, have a nice evening, see you next time :)

A Comfort for Broken Hearts
In search of a Bal d‘Afrique layering candidate, I stumbled upon this treasure! After 1 1/2 bottles of Byredo, I really almost cried that I could only perceive this wonderful scent for a maximum of half an hour (p.s. My surroundings, upon request, couldn't smell it either.... for those who might point out my potential “olfactory adaptation” // in German / smell blindness :)) The Ginger-Lily is more aggressive at the start, but that settles down after 10 minutes, leaving a wonderful fresh hint that I can perceive for the next 2-3 hours. The body lotion is even nicer and not at all scratchy! Together, they are a dream! I can even smell the fragrance on my clothes after a day... Price-performance is top! For “everyone” whose heart was broken by Bal d‘Afrique, this is a great comfort!

Great value for a cheerful explosion of a fragrance
This inspiring blast with the beautiful name reminds me of earlier times as a teenager and young adult, when I, driven by tireless optimism, joyfully embarked on my own life and thought the whole world was open to me - try and error and who cares ... you can always start anew, because in your heart it’s spring and always a Charles Trenet melody.
The cheerful fruitiness of this fragrance enlivens the subtle base of the refined light teen note and envelops the wearer in an overdose of youthful freshness... The ginger-violet floral note in the middle is not too sweet.
Loud at the beginning, yes - but likable. The ginger keeps the citrus from the top note fresh.
At some point, I will gift a bottle to my niece so she can understand how I felt as a young woman. She is quite similar to me in her preferences anyway.
I myself will eventually get the small version as a pick-me-up for lazy days and city weekend trips, but I will still stick with my beloved wild rose as my personal favorite from this line. I always have to keep that in stock. - Have fun with it too!

Every "tea" scent I've smelt reminds me of EA Green Tea and this is no exception. I wish I could smell ginger in this!

Ginger, not fresh or sharp, but finely floral, perfumed, refined. A gentle, classic scent for any occasion.

If you're looking for a good alternative to Byredo's Bal d'Afrique, you've found it here. A spring-like flower garden with a creamy base :)

Mmmhh fruity, fresh, zesty that develops beautifully creamy. Clean laundry scent that's a lot of fun. Very nice and very affordable.

Delightfully fresh summer scent that wraps around me like a delicate veil for a long time. Elegant, sporty, and well-groomed. For fans of clean fragrances :0).

Classic clean scent with gentle ginger, a bit of citrus + a hint of violet. Very perfumey + synthetic. No tea + no BdA for me.

Opens with the well-known tea note and is followed by a zesty fruitiness that lasts surprisingly long. Revitalizing and refreshing!

Soft summer scent, fresh, ginger-y with warm citrus fruits, creamy, light. Longevity is medium, a veil lingers longer.
