What does Ginger Biscuit smell like?

Roasted hazelnut and caramel give it a sweet, creamy core, softened by vanilla. Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger add a spicy warmth, while tonka bean leaves a powdery trace. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters pick winter and fall. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. It reads mostly feminine, though some voters find it masculine. The Dua Brand The Cologne of Ginger Biscuit and Lorenzo Pazzaglia Van Exstasyx have a close profile.
