Gingerbread

Cinnabon, Gingerbon: Gingerbread with a Thick Buttercream Icing... I wasn't sure what to expect from this, as I've never tested any of Demeter's scents before. Maybe I was expecting something more of a one-note-wonder, whatever that means, or more like a body spray, (I'm sorry Demeter I misjudged you), but I was impressed & pleasantly surprised - love at first sniff! There's a Cinnabon vibe here - like walking past a Cinnabon stall in a mall, but ginger is there underneath - I get the white icing which is like a thick buttercream icing, and there's a pleasant aura of vanilla that wafts around sprinkled with cinnamon, while up close on the skin I pick up the ginger which also comes out more over time. This leaves an oily sheen on the skin, and the performance is pretty good from the start, probably moderate or better, and I still pick it up subtly the next day on clothes. This is quite sweet, very gourmand, and would be good for anyone who wants a very sweet gingerbread heavy on the icing. It may or may not be enough ginger for a hard core ginger fan. Personally (although I prefer my gingerbread without icing) I would definitely wear this in fall & winter for fun & less serious occasions, but gourmand lovers could wear this year round. It's a love for me, Update 10/07/24: Sprayed this on again today after my initial review on Friday (3 days ago), but already the gingerbread is popping more than I experienced at the first test. Still get a thick buttercream-vanilla icing, but the gingerbread is starting to take centre stage, and it's very similar to Ginger Cookie Demeter plus icing. Love it!

literally ginger snaps in a bottle oh my goodness!! it’s so photorealistic i literally feel as though i just took a huge bite out of the chewiest gingerbread cookie straight from the oven with the aroma of ginger and molasses drifting into my nose and the sugar and spices dancing across my taste buds. gingerbread is one of my favourite scents ever and demeter did it sooo much justice. longevity is very short-lived—it completely disappears from my skin after two hours—but considering that this is something i’d only wear during the christmas season, i don’t mind reapplying it! so excited for december so i can wear this all month long!!

I absolutely LOVE this perfume. This is my go to winter perfume. It is literally Christmas in a bottle. It smells so festive and cosy and it sticks to your clothes which is great if you wear woolly jumpers and knitted scarfs like myself. The compliments I’ve received off of people whilst wearing this is unbelievable. I’ve been stopped in the street, people have come up to me on public transport and asked what I’m wearing! I will never not have a bottle of this on my shelf, it’s an absolute must have if you love warm, spicy and cosy perfumes. Perfect for Christmas months! GET IT!!!!

I was completely prepared for this to smell super artificial and cloyingly sweet, but was so pleasantly surprised. This is such an incredibly realistic, fresh out of the oven, gingerbread smell. If you sprayed this in your hair and hugged someone they would likely ask if you had been baking all day. Smells so warm, not overly sweet...this will absolutely be a holiday, fall and winter go to. The cinnamon is mild enough that it avoids falling into the fireball whiskey or chewing gum category, such a win.

Demeter Fragrances are just fun. This is exactly what it says, it's Gingerbread. It's surprisingly versatile: on one hand it's the Christmas market in a bottle, on the other, it wears beautifully in the summer. On the skin it develops a spicy oriental vibe, so you can use it when you don't want a heavy scent but just somewhing pleasant and cheerful. It's nice to take on your travels, and it lasts.
