How does it perform?
From 71 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Surf the Ginger Wave smell like?
Most voters place it in summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions picked most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Masculine is the leading character vote, though modern and feminine both get a fair share.
Lemon and sea salt give it a cool, salty edge. Peppermint and eucalyptus add a green, bracing note, while ginger and vodka leave a faintly spicy, sharp trace behind that freshness. Ambroxan and crystal musk lend the whole a woody, clean footing.
