Gingembre Roger & Gallet 2003

There must be something else in it besides "floral notes, fruity notes, ginger." Alongside the ginger, which here comes across neither pungent nor soapy, but rather delicate and fresh, there is something else, something truly wonderful. Because the scent is immediately, directly with the spraying, very warm and very amber-like, like a wonderfully warm-spicy fragrant skin. Very calm, somewhat elevated, distinguished, a "just don't panic attitude" à la "strength lies in calmness." This is a super exciting contrast to the otherwise very zesty, invigorating, stimulating ginger.

Research has revealed:

Top note: Ginger flower, Neroli, Bergamot
Heart note: Ginger, Ambrette
Base note: Benzoin balsam (Benzoin)

Ambrette, that must be it. It comes through immediately, is there right away, and makes this wonderful scent so full and round and multidimensional, giving it, despite all its freshness, a lot of depth and grounding.

Unfortunately, this perfume from the Roger & Gallet series is only an Eau Fraiche Parfumee, so the longevity is limited to a few hours. But at the rather small price, it is a great companion for the warmer season, which you can spray on more often to revive the wonderful scent.
