THE ONE! FINALLY!
As a big fan of the Le Gemme - Tygar DNA, I am, of course, familiar with all the alternatives that the market has to offer today. However, with some of these variants, something just never quite fit for me:

With Rosso Pompei, it was the strict woody undertone; with Vibrato, it was the overly synthetic and completely overpowering floral notes that gave me headaches in the heat; with Aqua de Dora, it was the developing dryness in the drydown; and with Le Gemme - Tygar, it was the longevity and simply the completely unjustified price.

It seems that this new fragrance combines only the best components from all these variants. For me, it’s an incredibly rounded, fruity-fresh, almost tangy and invigorating olfactory experience that accompanies me and those around me all day without being intrusive. It embodies good mood and positivity in a bottle, which can be worn by absolutely anyone, is liked by everyone, and still brings a distinctive uniqueness.

Compared to the mentioned alternatives, this fragrance offers an incredibly worthwhile price-performance ratio, which easily catapults it to the top spot among fragrances of this DNA.

A very strong release from WIDIAN! This will be my summer signature for the upcoming summer. I already can’t get enough!

Widian can also do fresh fragrances! I Comparison with other fragrances
Widian has already convinced me with several fragrances; "London | Widian / AJ Arabia", Aswan and other bestsellers such as Sahara have shaped the brand very well. Often, however, the brand has rather "heavy" fragrances or rather cold-weather fragrances except for a few newer ones that cover such intermediate phases.

With Ginger, Widian has taken a big step towards fresh fragrances, why? Let's get into it!

- The Ginger starts with a wonderful citrus explosion, really juicy bergamot and lemon create a tingling feeling with the slightly spicy ginger! Under the surface, something slightly green emerges from the magnolia, and a slight sweetness from the violet, but all still in a fresh context with the citrus.

- The fragrance then gains a woody-earthy creaminess in the drydown, but don't be alarmed, the fragrance does not become creamy, this citrusy-woody note still predominates, just a little creamier.

- The longevity is brilliant, I don't expect more from a freshie, solid really. The performance is also really good in terms of projection, top at the beginning, then rather skin-like, but we know that from other Freshies (would have awarded 7.5 for projection, but unfortunately I can't).

Now to the exciting question, how does the fragrance compare with other Freshies?
- Ginger has a similar top note to Afternoon Swim , Aqua de Dora , and Mahina , Le Gemme - Tygar and Vibrato. Yes, they all share this fresh citrusy opening, so let's compare them to these fragrances initially.

- in my opinion, Afternoon Swim is very similar overall, except that the citrus in Ginger is a little more lively and ingenious and the fragrance also performs far better. The Widian also has a little floral-creamy twist here.

- Vibrato and Ginger have a similar opening, but the Vibrato becomes much more powdery in the drydown and does not go in the minimal woody-creamy-floral direction of the Widian. After a few minutes, there are already clear differences after the opening

- The Aqua de Dora has a similarly fresh opening, but not as sparkling. In addition, the Aqua de Dora goes in a different direction in the drydown with this clearly perceptible chestnut note and the generally dry, woody DNA.

- The Le Gemme - Tygar has a more elegant citric and an ambrox-based woodiness to my nose in the drydown, yes similar, but it too lacks that floral-creamy-woody DD that defines the Ginger.

In this respect, Ginger is quite unique if you know the fragrances in detail and can smell these nuances. I personally like this impact in connection with the performance; at the moment at least, Ginger is the clear favorite from this comparison.

I didn't include Rosso Pompei in the comparison because it is simply too penetrating, even if it goes in a similar direction with the citrus at the beginning, but the difference is already greater in my perception.

Well, definitely worth a test!

Widian’s Ginger reimagines Tygar’s DNA with fresh citrus, spicy ginger and a smooth musky Ambroxan. A good freshie, yet overly familiar.
