Hawaiian Ginger

Watery GINGER-FLOWER & CANTALOUPE. Opens with a burst of melon with soft citrus nuances and dries down to a powdery, aquatic, fruity musk. Overall I get a gorgeous ginger-flower & cantaloupe-melon scent that doesn't turn on the skin as many melon scents do. The aquatic tones are not too much and I don't get a pool chemical vibe that sometimes happens with aquatic scents Beautifully blended, and above average performance for a body spray. Contrast to Good Energy Cosmopolitan: These are different, but there is a similar orange-y vibe. Good Energy has a more forward creaminess and gourmand quality. Good Energy outperforms. Contrast to Heiress Paris Hilton: These are different, but they have been compared and I can see why, although HG lacks the bubbly champagne quality in Heiress. But underneath there is a similar musky fruit vibe. Heiress outperforms. Contrast to Un Jardin Apres La Mousson Hermes: These are different but there is a similar vibe with soft ginger-flower (represented in Hawaiian ginger by ginger & orange blossom). UJALM outperforms although Hawaiian ginger has above average performance for a body spray. Overall: above average performance for a body spray, and a gorgeous representation of cantaloupe melon that stays true, this is the perfect scent to wear in summer heat. It's a love for for me. Enjoy!

I had this in middle/high school. I kept this in my gym locker and would always use it before/after gym class. I remember this used to be so potent, the entire locker room would smell like it. That wasn't an issue tho bc everyone loved it. In fact, a bunch of girls ended up getting it bc of that. I loved this and kept a bottle for years, until my mom threw/gave away my entire collection of 60+ fragrances when my parents sold their house (Yeah I know... Gut-wrenching. Blasphemy. The utter disrespect... I'm still mad about it). I haven't gotten around to replacing this, as I've opted for more "grown up" perfumes, but this still holds a very special place in my heart. In fact, all the Calgons do. They were the scents of my childhood and adolescence, and they will always remind me of those days.

I love this scent I wish it was stronger and would linger longer on my skin. Its a sweet clean scent that whisk's me away to a tropical island even on a rainy day! Its not to strong; I could spray half the bottle on my neck and not get overwhelmed. Even at first spritz there is not a strong crystallized ginger scent. Which is surprising because all the crystallized ginger candy that I have had are really strong. During the dry down the melon scent really come through. Till today i didnt know that melon was one of the notes. I sprayed the perfume and the body spray on today at 12:30pm ish and its 6:25pm now and I can still smell it lightly and mainly on my clothes. This scent is almost exactly like glade's Hawaiian ginger breeze. Which i also love!!!

Excellent for soothing and relaxing. I use to spray this in my son's hospital room so it wouldn't smell like a hospital and every person that would walk in would take note of how it created a little haven from the sterile smell of a hospital. It brings back bitter sweet memories. It is sweet and clean but not in a soapy way more like the smell of a fresh rain in a pineapple field. Love it!!

It is a very pretty scent. It is light, doesn't last long, but it is very nice. I always get compliments on it, from men and women. I usually wear it around the house, or when I am out and want to smell nice, but do not want to smell strong or grab attention. Seems it grabs attention anyway. And it is just a cheap little body spray!

Nostalgia and happiness in a bottle. "Calgon, take me away!" is right! It really does take me away to another place and another time....a pick me up for the every day stresses of my life and though I long for a warm climate and a secluded tropical beach somewhere...this will have to do.

I first tried this body mist when I was in grade 4 when I got it as a gift. EVER SINCE THEN, I have been obsessed with it - have the bath salts, body wash, body mist, etc and whenever I run out, it's the first thing I look for. I <3 this scent!!

Great fragrance , in perfume or body mist. Its very tropical sweet smell. Draws lots of compliments. Has a 90smelon overtone,which I like. with a sweet candy like smell of sugar and ginger. kinda reminds me of a pineapple hard candy . love it

This must be the wrong body spray. The original Hawaiian ginger is a lot older than 2003, because I remember wearing this in grade 9 in 2001! I will always love this scent. Floral, spicy and clean. This is the scent that got me into scents.

I’ve been through so many bottles of this in the last few decades it’s almost embarrassing... lol! This is the scent I reach for when I don’t wanna think too much... clean, floral, and fruity all at the same time.

This is a great spray for a good deal. It smells fresh and very fruity. I get mostly sweet melon scent with just a hint of ginger and vanilla. Great for summer and spring time!

I had the body mist in 9th grade and it was the first fragrance I ever finished. It was “blast through the entire bottle within a not long period of time” good.

I tried this out at the dollar store and got two compliments on the way to checkout. I love it. Does anyone else get banana? I am wearing it today in mid July.

I caught the scent of this in my high school hallway and it took forever to find it. It makes me Uber happy. :) Uplifting, like a new crush.

This launched before 2003 and it was the b o m b.com in middle school. Fruity, spicy, a little floral. Peak late 90s childhood right here.

Candy!!! This smells amazing. It's especially good for girls and teenagers. And also for those who just want to be young at heart. ;)

I used the lotion in this scent ages ago and it's lovely

Calgon's Hawaiian Ginger is just not given enough credit. There. I said it. And, I mean it! The beautiful scent of melon and ginger just emits pure bliss to the olfactory senses like you wouldn't believe. This perfume almost has it all. It's fruity, fresh, calm, happy, bright, and a little soapy. The initial blast from the melon really sets the tone for the entire experience. Not too far behind it is that beautiful and watery ginger giving it a bright and bubbly personality. The citrus I think is playing backup to make sure things don't get too soapy from the orange blossom but my goodness, the orange blossom is a really nice balance to the sweet fruitiness. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves scents like pure seduction or love spell. They have similar vibes to one another but very much different from each other to stand out. Not to mention, Hawaiian Ginger is as cheap as it gets for a body spray and body care line. The only downside to this gem is the staying power but like I said, i'd suggest getting the entire body care line.

I like this and I'm not usually a fan of either ginger or melon notes, but here they are well done and doesn't smell like cheap bath products even though they are cheap. It is a slightly spicy fruity floral ginger scent that has a very clean and crisp feel. I like taking a shower and misting myself all over to cool down when it's oppressively hot. I like most of the Calgon line except the sweet ones, but this and Morning Glory are my favorites and ones I'll always repurchase.

The initial ginger might be off-putting to those who don't like ginger scents, but it does go away. Interestingly, my nose interprets the melon and fruits as a juicy, sugary peach note (while I'm nearly anosmic to intentional peach notes). It's very nice. Sometimes body sprays don't get enough credit. Many of them actually last longer and project better than designer frags on me.
