The Fresh-Spiced Ginger Blend

The Combo ginger and pepper provides a strong spicy start. In the first minutes after spraying on, I perceive the fragrance development to change into a mixture of natural-exotic bubble bath notes and sauna infusion notes, with strong citrus notes - again ginger and blood orange - contributing the decisive counterweight to the balance.

A while later, after the head notes have been attenuated or volatilized, a good dose of clove appears. Otherwise one could name nutmeg as another spicy note. Fortunately, Ginger Lily is not exclusively spicy - and citric - at this stage, but probably also shows the other side through Styrax - namely warm and soft nuances. They do not only grind off spicy edges a little, and increase the wearing or well-being feeling enormously. All notes support and complement each other to form a balanced whole.

Flowery notes do not unfold for my olfactory centre. Perhaps these hardly recognizable nuances contribute, with this unique test I cannot confirm it so.

The citric spice of ginger and clove is retained over the course of the wine and gradually becomes softer with the emergence of warm notes, probably amber and balsam. But the now soft, spicy and above all bitter-silky texture cannot be explained by the two previously mentioned notes - which are known from countless other scents. According to the note, the cognac makes the fine difference here. I'll leave it at that.

Apart from the initial minutes, the Sillage is absolutely moderate, from the base very close. Shelf life is estimated at about 6 hours, maybe a little more. This is a little too little for my preferences, but completely acceptable for a natural perfume. Ginger Lily is suitable for everyday use and the office as a result of the above-mentioned moderate fragrance trail. It is also possible that some people may feel or be irritated by the exotic wort at close range.

Furthermore, I don't see any gender-specific tendency, so Ginger Lily is fully recommended for testing by anyone - or any woman. The optimal application time would be spring and summer. I like this fragrance tiptop.
