What does Ingenious Ginger smell like?

The citrus notes (Italian lemon, Italian bergamot and Brazilian mandarin orange) set the first impression. Australian ginger flower, jasmine, rose and Chinese magnolia build a floral layer around them. Vanilla, amber, musk, Australian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli and cashmeran soften the freshness with a creamy, sweet, lightly spicy warmth.

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, while winter plays a small part. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes on character split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, with a strong modern reading too. Xerjoff Nero70 and Marc Gebauer Orange Flamingo have a close profile.
