Can someone recommend a fragrance with ginger, possibly with lime?

I have this lovely shower gel which is ginger and lime scented, I think it's Paper Moon brand. Does anyone know of a fragrance like this? I like the smell of ginger and the way the lime cuts through it. If possible not too expensive. I usually buy samples on Ebay to start with.

Thanks Flowers

Following, I love those scents too.

I think Molton brown used to do something with those scents. I can’t see it on their website but maybe do a google.

Creed Virgin Island Water.

Blondiney · 19/10/2020 16:29

It's horribly spendy though.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

This is lovely. At Christmas you can get gifts sets with the Ginger range in which is always good value. m.origins.co.uk/product/15360/10484/bath-body/sensory/ginger-essence/sensuous-skin-scent#/sku/22426

You might like the Jo Malone Lime, Basil and mandarin fragrance. I love it.

Ijustneed · 19/10/2020 17:02

I thought about the Jo Malone, but I like the spiciness of the ginger too. I think I'll grt a couple of samples from Ebay as I can't get to a large shop with a perfume counter to try them.

Have you tried the library of fragrance? You could try mixing the fresh ginger and the lime perfumes together and see what happens?

Ijustneed · 19/10/2020 17:20

I've not heard of that, I'll have a look, thanks.

I've bought a sample of Creed Virgin Island Water on Ebay, I'll post how it is when I receive it.

Maybe this one might be worth a sniff too. There's woods and tea notes as well as the ginger and citrus so might not be exactly what you're after.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante is gingery and fresh. Smells lovely.

Ijustneed · 19/10/2020 17:33

Sounds lovely though!

I've tried Clarins, the red bottle before, didn't get on with it on me, although I've liked it on other people.

Origins do a ginger perfume that is nice but isn't as beautiful as the fragrance of the hand cream that I was trying to replicate. Quite pricey too at circa £50 - but it is pretty nice.

babysnowman · 19/10/2020 18:37

There's Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily which is lovely. Maybe next time you're in a store try layering it with the Lime Basil and Mandarin to see if that works?

babysnowman · 19/10/2020 18:38

Sorry, just read you can't get to a counter.

floorplanner · 19/10/2020 19:27

Origins ginger essence, it's so sweet and fresh, but light.

Housewife2010 · 19/10/2020 19:31

I linked to the Origins Ginger Skinscent earlier in the thread. It starts at £37 for 50 ml but there are 10 ml roller balls on eBay for £10.

Waggily · 19/10/2020 19:46

Juliet Has A Gun Moscow Mule is ginger and lime

Ijustneed · 19/10/2020 20:07

Thanks, so many suggestions! I'll check out as many as I can.
