Ginger Cookie

Love my Gingerbread without the Icing... Wow! This was love at first sniff - the ginger I had been looking for. The ginger here is the powdered variety, of the type added to cookie dough for baking gingerbread. To my nose, this is definitely a realistic gingerbread cookie without icing, and not a gingersnap cookie made with molasses, although it starts to lean a little towards a gingersnap during the drydown. It might not be for you if you're looking for a super sweet iced gingerbread (I would suggest Gingerbread Demeter), but there is definitely a baked-good sweetness to it, with the ginger becoming fuller as it's drying down. There's a slow-burn spicy quality to the ginger which builds up the more you sniff it. I'm trying to figure out the negative reviews here, and possibly the picture of ginger root in the notes can be misleading if you're looking for a fresh-cut cut or candied ginger this isn't it, it's definitely a baked-cookie ginger. I find this unisex & sweet enough, maybe because I'm someone who picks the swag off my gingerbread cookie before eating, so this was definitely what I was looking for, could not be happier. Amazing, and thank-you Demeter. Performance is once again better than expected for an EDC, and this leaves an oily sheen on the skin. Enjoy!

I love this, to my nose!!!! It smells like these ginger snap cookies I used to eat when I was younger. Brings back lots of memories and brings me this comfort of nostalgia. I love this, but it’s extremely weak just like all of the fragrances I’ve bought from this house.

Best thing I've smelt. Smells just like ginger(bread) cookies. Amazing winter/fall fragrance. Longevity and sillage are also pretty alright for a Demeter fragrance.

this is the perfect sweet spicy ginger-y fragrance imo... definitely more of a feminine vibe than something like serge lutens' five o'clock au gingembre.

It smells like a true ginger cookie but more with a slight note of bitterness and fat rather than burnt sugar, which I love so much. Its longevity is relatively good as for an EDC, especially when sprayed on hair.

Nope, not a ginger cookie. Smells like Christmas potpourri--pleasing, but not edible

This is horrible. Bitter with a slight masculine ginger and a little of wheat. It doesn't smell like a cookie at all. If you want a cookie smell, Gingerbread smells like cinnamon cookie (with a lot of wheat). If you want ginger, buy Gingerale, unless you dislike sweet and fizzy ginger. Don't buy Ginger Cookie if you want something sweet, like a cookie is supposed to be.

I am on the fence with this one. At first blast, I was thinking this fragrance was everything that I wished Philosophy The Gingerbread Man would smell like (that one is all ginger and no baked aspect), and for the most part it is. Not quite gingerbread cookies but maybe a pan of gingerbread you need to cut into like a cake. However, I find this to lack a sense of sweetness therefore making this a tad too sharp for me and almost a touch masculine. This is definitely a ginger spice more than a ginger cookie...add a little frosting element, and maybe it would appeal to me more. It is a stronger Demeter with lasting power of about 3-4 hours or more. Definitely more in the home fragrance olfactory category, but nice for a spicy change during fall or winter.

I agree with sweaterfreak. This scent was nice, but not a ginger cookie. It was more dry, and less sweet. It smelled more like the spice than a bakery item. I was hoping for a yummy, sweet, cookie scent, but that's not what I got. I was planning on layering it but I think the spice is a little more than I wanted and so I probably wouldn't want to overpower my other scents with such a strong note of ginger. If you like spicy ginger, this might be your thing, but the longevity isn't that great.

Cute fragrance, that is if you want to smell like a cookie. It smells distinctly of Gingerbread men. Is a cute scent, but one spritz is all you need. I think you'd be better to just spritz your clothing and call it a day as the scent is strong and definately lasts.

It definitely smells like a bakery, with a warm wheat scent. There's a good deal of ginger too, but I feel as though there isn't enough sugar to make it a cookie. Maybe a muffin or something less sweet. Delicious though.
