Those who like ginger based perfumes, can you recommend a not too heavy one please?

Sisley No3 has notes of ginger and lemon. I wear this all Summer. Adore it!

Origins Ginger is nice but v unsubtle in comparison.

Not a perfume but the sanctuary spa dry oil spray has ginger and it’s lovely. I use it daily when I get a bottle (sainsburys is a bit out of the way for me!)

I like using Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante in the summer when it's really hot, it's quite strong though.

Lush do a Ginger perfume that’s gorgeous. It’s the only thing I still buy from Lush.

Roger &Gallet Gingembre is nice.

Do they still make it? It was my signature scent in the late 80s/90s and I have a tiny amount left when Lush brought it back. Don’t think I’d go in Lush even for that though.

I had this from when it was ‘Cosmetics to Go’ - my favourite thing ever. Packed in a little wooden box with straw. I loved it so much.

This. Very light ginger scent - I love it! The roger abs gallet is nice too

soontobeamama · 22/08/2022 10:29

Molton Brown do a lovely Gingerlily / Heavenly Gingerlily scent which I would recommend, they also have the body wash / lotion in that range x

There’s a nice ginger and pomelo room scent range in Sainsbos at the moment.
Does anyone remember the ginger and floral Benefit ‘Maybe Baby’, now discontinued. Any scentalikes to recommend?

Misenzir Eau de Gingembre is the best Ginger perfume I've ever tried. But it's sadly very expensive. I buy 10 ml decants at a time. The Roger & Gallet Ginger is also good. I tend to use it with Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger as the top notes of Ginger don't last that long.
M&S did do a brilliant grapefruit & ginger diffuser that my DD kept on requesting for her bedroom but it looks like its sadly been discontinued.

catfunk · 22/08/2022 17:23

I wear origins and don't think it's unsubtle at all as it has a lot of citrus in it.

StarShapedWindow · 22/08/2022 17:37

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow They still sell it but not in store, it’s in the website. It’s very expensive £75 for 100ml but it’s exactly the same scent as it was and lasts a long time.

Like This by État Libre d'Orange is a beautiful autumn scent, and has a subtle ginger note with it.
