Pros & Cons
- ✅ If you are looking for a fragrance that smells of cleanliness, pure energy and a summer afternoon in a Mediterranean garden, Eau de Gingembre by Roger & Gallet is a timeless classic that deserves space in every 'zen' collection.
- ✅ This is such a beauty, and it is a shame it was discontinued! On me it starts as a spicy uplifting fresh ginger that turns in to a longlasting gingery musk.
- ✅ Nice! This comes as a relief against 'diversity at any cost'. You know... kind of 'nobody ever made a perfume with rotten fish and blood before us'. Good to know... now give me perfume. Eau de Gingembre is a very good cologne type of scent made lively with a note of exotic ginger. All quite fresh, quite traditional, no news good news. It stays nice on my skin, no morphing. It has a relief quality. No modern acquatic sugary stickiness. Just your quality cologne plus a touch of India.
- ✅ This is my first Roger & Gallet purchase and all I can say is more please! I do see this more as a spring scent but used it this dreary fall day. I showered and after shaving reached for this. The ginger was invigorating. Ideal to assist in facing the doldrums of fall.
- ✅ It's been almost 20 years since this scent was created, but it still smells amazing, modern and not generic. Love it. Perfect for a hot summer, light, refreshing in a natural way, energizing, unisex, office-friendly. A good blind buy. Masterpiece from Jaques Cavallier.
- ❌ I wish the ginger was stronger in here, it is noticeable but I was hoping for more of a wallop.
- ❌ The lasting power is pretty pitiful, which is typical of a traditional style cologne.
- ❌ Was given a 30ml bottle as a gift - so pleased I did not waste my money. Faintly ginger/lemon tones which had vanished within 15 minutes after liberal application. Not even remotely like Origins or any other gingery scent. One of my most disapointing scents of late!
- ❌ This is a lovely, traditional older style cologne. Summery and bright. Has that citrusy herbal scent that is very unisex. Personally I wish the ginger was stronger in here, it is noticeable but I was hoping for more of a wallop. I also wish they added some lime or lemon instead of just bergamot. The lasting power is pretty pitiful, which is typical of a traditional style cologne. Just wish it packed more of a punch scent wise and longevity wise.
