What does Ginger Essence smell like?

The scent runs as a single piece: lemon, lime and bergamot set up a bright citrus feel, while ginger adds a light spicy warmth on top. Green and fruity touches keep it cool and clean.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is chosen mainly for daily wear, leisure and work. Most find it feminine, though some read it as masculine. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lemon Fresca and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante have a close profile.
