Want Pink Ginger

Just love this. Found it completely by chance - no reviews read, no recommendation, no smelling it on someone else. Just trawling through perfumes at Harvey Nicholls one evening, and this one stops me dead in my tracks. I ask the price, and have to practice a little tactical dissembling when they tell me ... don't want to be giving any excuse for raising it! Basically solid, quite sweet, quite heavy and pungent, plenty ambery - all standard qualities thus far ... and yet, outstanding somehow. At any rate it brought my search to an abrupt close! Wouldn't say ginger is prominent. But then, factoring in the art of blending, I would not venture to say it is not a big player in this fragrance. But then again, of course, it's PINK ginger, which I'd never heard of until I encountered this.

First impression, smells FANTASTIC!! Oh my, lovely!! The mix of ginger and vanilla with powdery notes gives it a fluffy ice cream sherbet effect, a hint of spice, but well diffused with the freshness of the mandarine, and the mangosteen gives it that hint of a unique vibe..kind of a summery effect with the neroli too...the nose behind it created an intoxicating cocktail of sweet and fresh and exotic powdery...utterly feminine, a hint of sexiness, so pleased with it.. The original Want is nice, but I wasn't overly impressed with the linear vanilla powdery tone, or too much powder maybe.. Pink Ginger has a limonade effect too..easy to wear, easy to love..in the dry down it is more similar to the original..a flanker that beats the original in my opinion, smells great !!

ok....you see the bottle with huge pink ball (like billiard one) and assume it might be an average perfume.But guess what..it smells unique!! Its not the typical vanilla sweet type we all have smell around.It leaves a spicy trail,it lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT (on my skin at least) and the last notes clinging until the end are somehow resembling a mens perfume.maybe its the ginger or the woody notes..Also it reminds me something between Paco Rabanne Olympea and Trussardi Donna but in a more spicy edition.

This is definitely a very good fragrance, absolutely not trivial and obvious similar to many others on the market that very often resemble and all look the same! It's definitely a sweet scent, but a sweet "peppery" I would call it! In my opinion excellent in all seasons, a quality perfume, not surprisingly the creator of this fragrance is the same as Narciso Rodriguez ... I love !!! I recommend it to all those who want a perfume that stands out from the crowd! Top ;-)

Smells lovely! Spicy vanilla. I don't get any specific floral notes. Lasts a pretty long time, and my skin is notorious for eating perfumes in just an hour or two. I have the original too, and have tried one on each wrist. They are pretty different in the opening, this one spicy and more masculine and the other much more floral. Both dry down to sweet vanilla. I prefer this one to the other, its much more interesting to me.

Love this.... vanilla, ginger, pink pepper, and woodsy notes. All blended very well. I like to wear it for my daytime. It's so yummy, sweet, and spicy. I find this is a little bit similar to twilly d'hermes eau poivree, but Pink Ginger has vanilla and ginger that so prominent which not found in twilly d'hermes eau poivree. Great for everyday casual wear.

This is stunning! Smells like vanilla and ginger, can detect some of the pink pepper, and it's my biggest compliment getter in my collection! At least 4 different people commented on it the first day I wore it.

I love this one. Also like the original one. Warm vanilla with spices. The sprayer is so good, I have to mention, out of all the perfumes I' ve got this sprayer is the best.

I love this! As much as I LOVE the bottle!! They're both beautiful!

I have dsquared want and I love it.I believe it's one of the loveliest vanilla scents.it's all about creamy vanilla blended with fresh,powdery florals.it's amazingly delicious I wanted want pink ginger from the first day I saw it here,I like ginger in perfumes(while I dislike it in real life) Unfortunately it's not available yet in my country but hubby bought it for me in a travel to Georgia I think original want looks better and this pink cap may make some people think that this is a childish people Now about the scent,it didn't leave a good first impression.original want was a love at first sniff for me so I had high hopes for this one.when I smelled it I thought it's very similar to original want just less delicious,less sweet and more woody and spicy and for me the sweetest the better But I know that almost all sweet perfumes grow on me and become better and better Want pink ginger is creamy and sweet but also gingery.it's spicyness tickles my nose without being dry and now I find this charming Woods add a little dark vibe to scent so this one can be more mature and less gourmand version of want I like it very much and I'm happy with my little adorable 30ml bottle but if I want to repurchase I'd rather buy original want Want pink ginger is longlasting on my skin,+7 hours but sillage seems to be softer than original want I will edit after couple of wearings

I got it and I was all "Finally something makes more impression on me", because many perfumes I've been trying out lately were nice, yet haven't given me much impressions. Want Pink Ginger is really worth trying out! I like it, it isn't 'me' perfume but it's a very good perfume. It opens fresh with minty citruses and then it becomes a pink suede. Like a pink suede jacket. It's sweet and velvety, but not too sweet. It's prominent, but not too prominent. Also something like pink oud shows up what surprises me! It's a calm fragrance, yet quite bold, so that means contraries that make it interesting. I can detect vanilla, ginger, woody notes, some flowers but if you aren't a rose fan, don't worry - it isn't significant there, actually it's hidden among other ingredients. I think the fragrance may fit a slightly extravagant woman, a bold person, also a classy one, great for autumn and winter, more for a daytime. Edit: It's grown on me a lot, one of my favourites lately.

i can see the appeal. this is not a run of the mill and has a quality to the blending of notes, that i appreciate. I'm clearly amnostic to the ginger after some light spiced opening moments, to be met with a huge cloud of powdery sugar coated vanilla. to my nose, this is in the realm of marc jacobs decadence, in fact i can barely tell them apart. but Pink Ginger I prefer and would consider more wearable. i can detect a slight fruitiness and some background ambery woods in time. clean, dry, sweet, woodsy background and i imagine gets a lot of compliments. i am not feeling like the girl this one was made for. but i do enjoy jumping out of my comfort zone and wearing something like this on occasion. so the smelly jury is out, for a few more tries. Do check out the "people who like this also like" column. it is spot on! clever Fragrantica. P.S. i love the No. 6 Pink snooker ball lid, though I still fail to understand this bonkers bottle design. at all.

This is the kind of parfume I really needed to try at least twice for fully appreciate it. The first time, I was unimpressed; it wasn't a bad fragrance, but it felt quite generic for its (apparently) interesting pyramids. All I got was ginger over an non descript floral base. However, the second time I sprayed the parfume from the small tester vial, 4-5 days later, something changed. It seemed a more interesting composition. An opening of delicious Candied ginger nicely framed by citruses (I didn't pick up citruses the first time and I really like them). Some reviews define this a gourmand fragrance, ginger wrapped on vanilla, but on my skin I detect the vanilla only when the fragrance set as a skin-scent and not overly sweet or nauseating. All in all this an happy, crisp , light-hearted smell. But not necessary girlish

This smells like a ginger milky candy. Vanilla is definitely the main note however it is not a boring vanilla its got the spice of ginger also other floral notes that make it a bit powdery in an elegant way. It's sweet but its more like a mild sweetness not syrupy, almost creamy. EDIT: It's very strong so you only need two sprays. Otherwise, it can be a bit too much.

Magnificent scent! Amazing lasting power and finally a silage that exceeds my seat! It is distinctly woody, somehow fresh under all the caramelized vanilla, and particularly sexy, but not in a victoria- secret way, rather a deep, breathtaking tom-fordish way (god forbid!). Marvellous and better than the previous Want! Yep, i Want it!

Much too sweet to be really interesting. The spicy and peppery notes disappear too fast, and they leave behind vanilla and ginger. It's good, if you are in the mood for it, but not really complex and a tad too girlish.

I love the statement-making bottle and like the spicy scent. Ginger and vanilla are the most dominant notes. This is quite a signature fragrance, interesting and outstanding. Very nice scent for autumn and winter.

One of the best (relatively cheap, designer) perfumes! Super rich, sensual, sweet vanilla with energizing playful ginger - an amazing smell with perfect longevity and projection! Don’t overspray.

Yea I figured it out, it smells like those cupcake dolls from the 90s, it’s the EXACT same scent. Not sure I like it on myself. Update: I absolutely love this lol! I sprayed on my wrist earlier but the second time I sprayed it on my neck and it developed into this most delicious, warm sweetness, haven't really smelled anything like this before. It's a sweetness that is tropical yet soft, a little powdery, not really spicy or oriental. Yes it is synthetic but charming. Makes me feel attractive, young and playful however it is not a scent for teens.

I was astounded when I first sniffed WANT PINK GINGER in the store, tested it on my wrist,and thought I found a real gem. There were high quality ingredients, impeccable and mesmerizing composition of all listed notes. One squirt goes long way and the silage is huge. I could see it as distant Kenzo Amour’s cousin. But, as Kenzo Amour has gentle enveloping aura of warmth and tenderness, this has loud statement “Look at me, I’m warm and tender”. It plays tricky game, like wearing a mask of love, only to disguise lust behind it. After some time you’ll realize that it is a trap, because there is no divinity in lust. I had to get rid of its imposing presence, but alas, it is still there even after the shower! I was aware of the symbolism of the form and colour of the bottle, the name of the perfume and advert, knowing what it should speak to the subconscious mind, but from the experience I hoped the scent may be something else, but no, no... with this, you get what you see.

Not a fair review but I was in the D2 boutique and saw this. I sprayed the back of my hand was was greeted with a syrupy sweet plasticy harsh smell. Almost like cheap detergent. It doesn't smell like Gucci Rush, but has that same cloying in your face flower bomb synthetic effect. Maybe on the skin it transforms into something else, as these kind of fragrances sometimes do. Powerful scents project well, and maybe this from afar smells wonderful. I didn't detect this, but maybe. Worth a shot, so take this review with a grain of salt. Either way not a good blind buy.

This is horrible. It opens up with a very distinct whiskey accord, but a very cheap whiskey that you would drink at a teenager's party. As it settles, you get what you asked for: realistic ginger and chemical sweetness. Even though the notes looked very interesting, I should've known that this will happen: great concept, bad execution. This fragrance has an overall masculine feel and a pungent leather accord, even if it's not listed. It's reminiscent of an old car. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, performance is great...

not really gingery to me. sticky vanilla and woods ... not the best vanillas been poured in here, if you ask me :/ and sh.t loads of pink pepper. smells like a victoria's secrets perfume. ubersweet.

Yes, very much a close relative to the original edition but with much more depth and dare I say, a much more expensive feel to it. The vanilla sugar is toned down although present, and it has gotten an almost oriental vibe from the earthy oudy ginger. My partner mistook it for a Tom Ford. Im not sure about that, she's more into TF than I am but I really like it. Initially reminded me of Jo Malone's Bergamot & Oud , even though looking at the notes I'm not sure how? Its delightfully potent, grown up and very well blended.

Absolutely wonderful. Great balance and composition make it unique modern fragrance. It is not your usual vanilla fragrance, neither citrus lemonade. It is minty vanilla with spicy ginger notes. Warm, sparkling, but not overwhelming. Another plus is extra long-lasting power. I see a lot of similarities with original Want, but this one is pinch less sweet and a lot more sparkling and youthful. Pink ginger also stays longer on skin and this is why it is my first choice over original

Pink Ginger opens with a hefty dose of pink pepper on a base of powdery vanilla. It's like a wonderful vanilla dream. It's a peppery vanilla. I like how there are two kinds of vanilla in this. I don't smell the rose,which is good,considering the rose is what ruined the original Want for me. I like the brown vanilla extract color,though the humongous cap is a bit much. A smaller cap would have looked better;but all in all,I love it!

Tested Pink Ginger today and I will get a bottle really soon! It smells gorgeous the pink ginger offers a spicy twist to a softly vanilla sweet base. I love original Want but Pink Ginger is so sensual and smooth I have a new favourite. It is so beautifully done,the vanilla is still very present but mixed with the spicy ginger it creates an amazing combination. Sillage and longevity both really good and the bottle is really pretty.

Vanilla is the first note I perceive, then the note stabilizes on very resinous spicy notes. I adore! I like it, it's a different, sparkling, spicy fragrance ... An undemanding perfume, suitable for different occasions. And certainly a different fragrance from what is expected. The pack so joyful in colors, that cap so remarkable ... Want, this name that means everything and nothing. A really very good fragrance.

I am sorry but this scent brings to my mind word cheap vanilla. Bit sticky, too hard trying to be good. Ginger? No rather is not there, i get ginger in Jil Sander Sport for women, but here i dont. Much, much better vanillish perfume is YSL Manifesto.

well what can i say about this? I like the concept and how the perfume smells in the bottle, but on my skin is like ughhh,as the time passes is like rotten milk from a baby....sad. and i hoped it would be a very nice winter perfume.

Reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana Decadence, vanilla is strong but the ginger makes the difference. For me, top notes are ginger, lemon & tangerine. Longevity is good.

I love original Want and Pink Ginger sounds just as good but with a spicy twist, can't wait to try it

Anyone else think that the bottle is terrible? Ugh!
