A lot of ginger and a bit of incense
Not a particularly imaginative title...but it says exactly what I smell here!
For a long time, I hovered around this fragrance....Tested in a niche perfumery in Berlin when I was there with two other perfumes. Somehow, I was fascinated by this combination of the two distinctive fragrance notes. But I had already spent money on two amber perfumes there. Therefore, my guilty conscience is limited, as I soon after jumped at a good deal online.
Yes, this perfume has an almost camphor-like freshness that makes it almost medicinal. Not everyone may like that...so one should know what they are getting into here. Nevertheless, I find the combination of the two notes, which I greatly appreciate, to be exceptionally successful. The ginger comes across as dominant over the (light) incense. It's hard to say what other spices are included, but I suspect that pepper is among them.
“Gincense” has a radiant yet cool freshness that I particularly appreciate in late winter when the gray and brown outside really gets on my nerves and I need something energizing for the day. Some may prefer such scents in the summer heat - a matter of taste. From my perspective, “Gincense” is a fresh-spicy and only slightly smoky, and absolutely unsweetened perfume. But I can understand that it is perceived rather divisively. I like it very much.

Despite the coolness, it's pleasant to wear even in cold weather, for those days when 'warm' scents are annoying and fresh scents are either too much or not suitable for the weather. I'm also increasingly freeing myself from this classic classification of spring-summer-autumn-winter scents. Pokälsche... we are the only two owners of this unusual fragrance!
