Ginger Biscuit

Ginger biscuit for me was an instant hoorah, I smelt the perfume and found myself obsessing over it for a month, till I finally bought a bottle. Then obsessed over it being an LTD and bought another. The only thing I can say that I sort of regret is not buying a 3rd. Ginger biscuit has a sharp spicy ginger surrounded in a creamy cozy envelope of milky caramel, cinnamony vanilla, and hazelnut. Since I love all of those notes I just about died when I found a fragrance that had them all combined. This is plenty spicy and is unlike a lot of gourmand fragrances on the market, it's unusual and quirky. It gives you a warm snuggley feeling inside, and develops well on a person with low body heat. On me the fragrance lasts 8 hours and projects around 3 feet around me in soft smolder y sweet way. I catch whiffs of it all day. I am just in love how quirky and charming this fun little scent is! I wore it once to a bingo hall and got like a million compliments, this could be the perfect perfume for visiting grandma. Which is kind of an odd observation I know, but it has an old time-y charm to it since I think ginger cookies are less popular nowadays then they used to be. I think this is a good fragrance to buy if you are looking for something comforting yet fun. I really hope Jo Malone brings this fragrance back!

I love this perfume and am so crushed that it is discontinued. I hope Jo Malone brings it back. Right now they have it in their holiday collection but then it comes with 4 other fragrances for over $100 and is only 5 mls. Hopefully they bring back a full bottle for next year. I have never smelled anything like it. It is just the perfect vanilla scent with a spicy kick to it. It kind of reminds me of the drydown from Spicebomb Extreme mixed with a vanilla fragrance like the oil roll-on by Nemat. But this is all based on memory as I ran out of Ginger Biscuit last year :( EDIT: I just bought a decant of this and also a sample of Sweetly Known by Kerosene which is more intense but has a similar vibe. It opens like a cardamom bomb but after a few minutes dries down into a spicy vanilla with burnt caramel. I am obsessed. I think I prefer it to Ginger Biscuits. I will warn you that it is way more intense than Ginger Biscuit. It also lasts and lasts. I got both from The Perfumed Court for a decent price.

Sweet warm ginger delicious-ness (pleaser for gourmand lovers), I tested the whole line just last week @ Nordies, they're all pretty wonderful. I loved the Ginger Biscuit the most, it's like eating fresh buttery ginger snap dipped in milk && coated with caramel...mmm! && actually this is more sweet then spicy && the dry down is absolutely amazing, on me I was getting a scent that was faintly familiar, then it hit me on the dry down w/ the caramel, it smells slightly like a very light version of prada candy, I'm not saying it smells like it entirely just an undertone from the caramel && it also faintly reminded of B&BW warm vanilla sugar. It's so edibly yummy && sexxi, I got it to layer w/ my candy, && they're limited edition so I deff. needed this! go give em a try! Apparently they're all targeted for woman, but it's Jo Malone if you like it wear it! :)

2023 formulation - I'm annoyed with Jo Malone for not making a matching lotion. This is a love for me. The most prominent notes are one of the best vanillas, hazelnut and cinnamon. The other notes support it. Never mind full bottle worthy, more like back up bottle(s) worthy if you have the funds. Rarely, is there a scent that makes me want to wear it for months but this is it. As everyone knows with Jo Malone the performance lacks. On my skin, 20 minutes, the scent was a skin scent. I could still smell it on my skin 5 hours later, by hour 6, it was gone. I believe a matching lotion would help improve performance. As far the scent itself, A+++. To me, this is the perfect fall fragrance. It's not child like at all. It's rich vanilla cinnamon spice and all things nice. 💗

This was a impulse blind buy after seeing a you tuber do a perfume favorite review. I love ginger and bakery scents so I took a chance on this one buying it off Amazon.com. One spray and I was hooked! I immediately bought a backup bottle and searched for body lotion or body oil with this scent! I wear this daily, usually to bed because it smells so yummy! Thank God this is a fresh ginger with dry biscuit scent, not a sickly sweet one. It lasts on my extremely dry skin in 120 degree heat all day with a lingering trail! On my clothes it lasts until next day. This may be a cologne but it has unbelievable longevity! I highly recommend this scent! I would bath in it if I could! Absolutely my favorite scent ever!

Well this is a surprise. I got a decant of this because I loved the sound of it. But most Jo Malone fragrances are pretty, thin, and fleeting on me. This one has actually lasted a reasonable length of time. It's not terribly powerful, and almost no silage, but hey at least I can smell it about six hours after application which is about four hours more than any other of this brand I've tried. The scent itself is warm, cozy, and chewy. It does indeed smell like a ginger biscuit, but with a little more complexity. I get a little incense, a little wood, all in all it's really quite enjoyable. Though given the cost and size of a full bottle I'll just stick with my decant.

Guys, maybe is something related to body chemistry, hormones, food etc. but this is a magnetic juice on me. Everybody compliments me and it keeps the spicy caramel aspect for hours (maybe one of the best longevities in Jo Malone). A gentleman at a cafe asked me what I was wearing, saying “you smell like vanilla pods and caramel and butter and tobacco” lololol (perhaps he confounded my perfume with the cafe itself). Great on dry, chilly days. Very appealing caramel/vanilla combo, I attribute the magnetism of this perfume to this. Like to layer it with Oud & Bergamot or Dark Amber & Ginger Lily. Overall I love it, can’t deny! Hope they relaunch it this year! 9.0/10

2023 version: After seeing reviews on social media, my interest grew gradually, and when I tried it in the store, I immediately wanted it. The top note has a sharp ginger scent, which quickly gives way to a powdery, deliciously sweet fragrance like Scarlet Poppy.There is also a salty, buttery note.The name 'Biscuit' fits it perfectly. The sweetness is not too heavy, making me feel like wearing it from morning. It's a fragrance that can be enjoyed both outside and at home. It's a scent without any unpleasant sharpness, and I'm looking forward to using it a lot this fall and winter.I'm glad I bought it! I love it♡

I bought this on a whim for my birthday, hoping it would be warm and, well, gingery! The initial spritz and top notes remind me of Prada Candy. As it dries down, the cinnamon notes are reminiscent of L de Lolita. Since I enjoy both of those perfumes, I find this new Jo Malone one to be delightful. It has excellent sillage and lasted approx. 8 hours, which is not bad for a cologne. I found most of the notes were detectable, and lovely. However, the only note that I couldn't really detect was ginger. I suppose I expected it to be a little spicier. Nevermind, all in all, a good perfume which I will enjoy anyway.

I was looking for something like SL 5'Oclock Gingembre with staying power. By some sad twist of nature, SL literally fades away on my skin within 30 minutes. Ginger Biscuit is to 5'Oclock like a biscotti is to a fresh ginger snap. Ginger Biscuit had great lasting power and nice sillage. It's just not as spicey and ginger-y as I hoped. The vanilla and hazelnut mute the sharp snap of ginger and turn this truly from a cookie to, well, a biscuit. It's warm, milky, dry and a little sweet - not a boring vanilla, mind you - but it's lacking that spicey zip I wanted.

I am an absolute sucker for Nice Christmas Things, and this is the perfect example of that. Spicy and warm and delicious, this is a remarkably realistic gourmand without leaning too sweet. Very much a 90s Martha Stewart kind of Christmas, this makes me wish I had a brownstone to decorate with tasteful greenery. Unfortunately as everyone else has mentioned, the projection and longevity are way too weak for the price - this takes 10 sprays and doesn't last more than an hour or two, but I'll forgive that for December.

Omggggg this is beautiful! I just got a bottle of this in a swap and I was instantly hooked. Warm spicy ginger infused caramel with hints of vanilla and other delectable foody spices. I love L de Lolita which is in the same scent class, but I think this is actually much better. Such a shame that I just found this as the weather starts to get warmer here in time for sping/summer. I will make sure I get at least one more bottle by next fall because this is a new fav.

If you wanna smell like a sexy and cozy candle wear that. Im going to bleed this dry until February i dont care this is amazing and I smell SO GOOD!!! Definitely more of a close embrace perfume, almost a skin scent after only 3-4 hours but that s what make it sEXY PEOPLE!!! I WANT PEOPLE TO SMELL A SEXY GINGERBREAD WOMAN WHEN THEY HUG ME!!!

Love this. It's like wearing a big hug and people hug me a bit longer wearing it, it seems to make them feel comfortable around me. Ginger Biscuit sounds like it shouldn't work as so gourmand but ohh it does work. It lasts well and I find myself sniffing my wrist over and over.

Loveeee thissss i swear it lasts foreverrrr, such a pleasant, warm, not that sweet and satisfying scent this dries down to... exactly what ginger biscuits should smell like yummmm

Smells like a more quality version of spiced gingerbread swirl bath and body works mist. Very photo realistic ginger snap cookie. Perfect for winter

Acquired a 50ml partial of this recently from my aunt's collection and the name says it all. This smells like a ginger snap cookie with a slight bite of fresh ginger root that I adore. Although I'm glad to own it, I would NEVER pay the astronomical asking price for Ginger Biscuit. It's very good, but it's an eau de cologne through and through. Gave me a solid 3 hours before I had to top up. Very enjoyable, but nothing to pay a car note for imo. That being said, if you want to smell like spiced ginger snaps/gingerbread and nothing more... then this one does it well. Just have to top up every couple of hours. **If you have FOMO, or just want the scent without the huge expense, Genre Parfums will be releasing an inspired version of ginger biscuit called Ginger-esque. Fantastic indie house btw. ***Purchased Genres version and it's very nice. More of a buttery gourmand gingerbread cookie than the og but definitely worth a sniff!

Was lucky enough to able to grab a bottle of this from saks when it released 9/17/23. A photo realistic ginger snap cookie. Nothing more, nothing less. This is definitely a pretty fragrance, but I'm not all that into super subtle, skin scents-and that's exactly what this is (on me). If it wasn't for all the hype surrounding this fragrance and the packaging, I'd probably return it. If you are a fragrance junkie, like most of us are -YOU KNOW everything surrounding this one. So I'II keep her just because I feel like I collected an infinity stone. But the scent itself is not anything ground breaking at all. It is a skin scent and projection and sillage are very minimal if any. The ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg are prominent to my nose.

Why would anyone want to smell like a ginger biscuit, I wondered when the bottle of Jo Malone GB arrived. It came in a lot of other high end frags, along with JM Bitter Chocolate and Orange (review will post soon). Well, a spray later I was pleasantly surprised: this is a realistic, strong ginger cookie scent, snappy and sharp until the sugar and spices kick in. The dry down softens the ginger bite until only a hint of spices remains. There's a resemblance to a high quality scented candle I once had: elegant but faint. Sillage and lasting power are very modest, which is a shame for such a pricey fragrance. To answer the opening question: I like to smell like a ginger biscuit, as long as it's Jo Malone GB.

Just bought this as limited edition 2023. It is beautiful, my tween daughters immediately told me I smell like pumpkin pie and chai - this is extremely high praise from them!. GB is a soft scent immediately on spray, it is not at all overpowering or needing time to settle. I definitely need to overspray about 10 sprays to get any fragrance aura or trail, and even then it is gone within 30 mins, doesn't even remain on clothes. It is heavenly though, cosy, soft, feminine spicy vanilla - very well blended, there are no sharp notes at all. I am definitely a fan! Pity JM is so expensive, I would consider a backup bottle otherwise. The real tragedy is the weakness of the fragrance.
