Ginger

At first it is sharp and slightly pungent, .... lots of ginger! Short after a more rosymimosaflowerish scent with only hint of ginger in the background, is appearing... nothing unique or extraordinary, yet feminine, fresh and pleasant. Nothing I personally would buy again, but I will enjoy it while it lasts :)) Edit: O my God... this is heaven!!! I had it on for a while now and I can ́t stop sniffing my arm, it ́s an must have for shore! :)) Feminine, clean, crisp and spicy in a ginger spirit way.... wow!! One of my favorite from Lush along with Karma, Love, 25:43 and Orange blossom... by the way... I love most everything from Lush :)) Till en början är den skarp och något frän,.... massor av ingefära!! Efter en kort stund framträder en mer rosmimosablommig doft med en hint av ingefära i bakgrunden... inget unikt eller extraordinärt men ändå kvinnlig, fräsch och trevlig. Inget jag personligen skulle återköpa, men samtidigt kommer jag att njuta av den så länge den varar :)) Edit: Herre min Gud!!! Den är uuuunderbar... har haft ett den på mig ett tag nu och bara ääälskar den! En absolut favorit och en måste ha :)) Kvinnlig, ren, krispig och kryddig i en ingefäranda... wow!! En av mina favoriter från Lush, tillsammans med Karma, Love, 25:43 och Orange blossom... för övrigt äääälskar jag det mesta från Lush.

Let me begin my saying that i soaked in a Gingerman-scented ballistic bubblebath the morning of my wedding, and while we were travelling i had tucked the Gingerman ballistics inside my wedding dress. so, yes, this is what i wore for my (Vegas) wedding. it's a soft, powdery floral and i agree it smells quite retro, but in the best possible way. i have this scent in many forms, and i love them all. the nearest thing i can think of on the market that smells similar would be Mrs. Meyers Clean Day products in the Rose Geranium scent. not exact, by any means, but similar and equally gorgeous.

In the summer of 2010, i bought this blindly from Lush's website (before these scents were released in store, and sadly then disappeared again) and i'm so glad i did! I sprayed it as soon as i got it out of the box and i was delighted - it shared it scent with Lush's now discontinued 'Sex in the Shower' Emotibomb! (they were like a bath bomb but for the shower) I've since bought two more bottles. I love the floral, powdery, warmth it has on my skin.

What a surprise finding an updated version of Signoricci 1975. Galbanum a la Chanel 19 with Tobacco. I could not find any trace of ginger in the topnotes. Rare for modern standards, unique and vintage of you have the original in mind. It lacks the finesse of, it feels very elegant. Not in the sillage and longevity group, expensive in local terms USD 100 for a 100ml bottle.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent. It's indescribable. Complex, it doesn't smell like ginger. It took a while for me to warm up to it, but once I did, it's like the clouds parted and the sun was shining! I'm glad others aren't liking this because I'd like to know that not many people have it :P

I'm glad to see that Lush is still selling this one. I think the people who love and hate this do so for the same reason: it's not a typical ginger fragrance, and has little common with fizzy, bright ginger in its foody form. This is rooty and vegetal ginger root still half-buried in soil, and is further distanced from its zingier iterations by the prominent florals with which it's paired. It has a vintage, soapy-floral quality, and I personally love that it's a dusky and perfumey take on the note. It's like being served ginger tea at the home of a very cool older woman - chic, untouched by trends, and a bit musty, but appealingly so. There are plenty of refreshing, zesty ginger fragrances out there, but this is its own thing.

Lush Ginger solid perfume smells like ginger at the start, but an earthy one, not the fizzy kind I normally expect from ginger scents. Ginger later takes a back seat to somewhat musty florals, which must be the geranium and ylang-ylang. There’s something old-fashioned about it, and I don’t mean this in a bad way. It’s probably not for everyone though, and I’d need to be in the right mood to reach for this. The solid perfume sits close to the skin, and doesn’t last very long. Perhaps the perfume spray performs better. Overall, I find Ginger to be warm, subtly spicy, and calming.

I'm a guy and I love Ginger. I'm not only a fan of ginger as a food but also the smell is addicting. Smells like ginger combined with flowers, I have both the solid stick and the bottle version and they are slightly different, but hard to explain. To me this is totally a summer perfume, when it's hot outside, you just want to rip off your clothes, due to the heat the streets look wet, kind of like a fata morgana.

Finally got ahold of a bottle after looking for years - yay! This perfume takes some time to settle quite right en is overwhemingly floral in the proces. The first 10/ 15 mins i only get old lady flowers (ylang ylang, geranium) but then the ginger (a a tad of jasmide) kicks in, making it feel much younger. Stays on very long en gets better during the day.

This perfume took awhile to grow on me. It's a strong and somewhat musty floral, and doesn't really smell like ginger at all. That said, I like it for days when I need a sophisticated floral perfume, but I can't wear it every day.

Very surprised there is no citrus listed in the notes! To me the opening is very citrussy/lemony with a hint of rose. It then mellows into a vintage soap fragrance. Nice, but I detect no ginger.

Unconventional and distinct, this cold, almost unisex perfume is definitely my cup of tea. It resembles the mood of a rainy,moody November day, somewhat monotonous, yet so very enjoyable

Ginger + earth. Refreshing and not sweet, somewhat dusty. Definitely a cold scent over warm, but I can imagine someone wearing this at night. To be frank I don't get a "good" lasting power nor projection, but I do like the scent. Would I re-purchase? No, not for the price which (in my country) is 39$ for 30ml if I convert (which is not a price I can personally afford for the quality).

It's a fairly literal take on ginger, nothing gourmand about it, its just herbal, root-y ginger. I loved it when it first re-launched but now it's a very meh scent to me. Floral/herby but nothing remarkable. I suppose that would make it good for every day wear for those who like soft herby florals. Smells a little too mature for me at times.

I'm Lush fan and always blind buy coz there's no Lush store in Thailand & I never disappointed. But when I order Lush-Ginger solid with hope that it will warm & a bit spice like real ginger, i felt that i was suddenly sick upon i open the lid! BTW, i still tried it on my skin with my last hope that Lush will never broke me...but i feel gonna die and run to rinse it off but it still linger last long on my skin. I gave it to my mum tomorrow then and I never see my mom use it! This is not ginger scent coz i love ginger drink & love Ginger lotion from Body Shop but I can't bear this scent even a second!! For me, this is smell like Chinese pickalilli.

I wanted to like this! And I probably would have if it was more spicy as I was anticipating, instead of older-lady perfume smell. I even tried the lotion, but no luck. Note, I really really dislike mimosa and jasmine. They just tend to add too much of a soapy feel to things -especially when mixed with ginger- and in this mix it turns into those dishes of soap older ladies have in their bathrooms. I feel like this would be much improved with the addition of cloves! :)

This is a really disappointing perfume from Lush. I find their scents interesting most of the time, but this was a real miss. Ginger reminds me of my aunt's old basement; a musty mix of wet dog and stale cigarettes. Very strange. Very gross.

Lush Ginger is one of those fragrances that start off as a dislike and then gradually develop into a like as the fragrance begins to settle. Try not to write this fragrance off straight away. Lush Ginger opens with a somewhat powerful and acrid ginger accord, not unlike fizzy ginger beer, however a few minutes is all it takes to see some improvement. The ginger accord is a dominant fixture throughout this fragrance's composition, however a heart of rose, jasmine, mimosa and geranium smooths everything out and creates a more pleasant aroma. Half an hour after the first application and that strange opening is forgotten. Lush Ginger despite its floral heart, has the tendency to smell quite masculine and fierce. In that regard I would recommend this fragrance as unisex. It's a bad-ass scent, roughed up and a tad naughty. I like wearing Lush Ginger every now and then, although I must admit that I do have to be in the mood for it. I also advise a light application. Too much of Lush Ginger could make for a rather unpleasant experience.

This is an odd one - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Definitely agreeing with the woody, rooty ginger scent. I grew up drinking a lot of ginger tea and shocking my tongue on ginger in soup. This isn't that kind of spice, nor does it evoke the same kind of warmth. This is a much cozier ginger, with some kick, but more woody ginger than gingerbread or ginger tea. I also get nothing but ginger and mimosa from this. My colleague at work caught a whiff and said I smelled like church incense. Another told me I smelled like her elderly aunt! The scent did grow on me after a while - there's something quite fresh about it, despite the rootiness, but, like a lot of Lush scents, it's quite polarizing. See what you think before you buy.

I bought a 100ml bottle 2 weeks ago because they don't make this perfume smaller anymore. the perfume notes have changed! No more jasmine, Ylang-ylang or rose. The new label says; red mandarin oil and bergamot oil. The only thing that is still correct is the mimosa oil, geranium and ginger oil. Very unfortunate because the perfume only smells strongly of geranium oil. I washed it off. So ginger is not the ginger that is indicated here on the site in terms of perfume notes! see for yourself on the lush's website that it has changed! I read all positive reviews, but those are reviews of the previous composition. Fragantica can you modify it? I'm going to return the perfume. Unfortunately!

I purchased this as a blind buy because I adore any and all things ginger. However, when I opened the package, I was terribly disappointed. It's a very heavy scent, cloying and far too floral. All I get is ylang ylang, which I appreciate in moderation, but here, combined with the earthiness of ginger and the heady aroma of rose, it's too much. It's really very old ladyish to me. I agree with another reviewer that says it reminds them of the seventies. For me, it reminds me of the drugstore perfume of the seventies, not the sexy seventies. I've tried it a few times now, wanting so very much to like it, but it's simply not for me.

The perfect retro scent to wear with your 40s matte red lipstick and pincurls, this is a really strong pure floral where geranium is king. Surprisingly fresh for summer if worn in small doses. Contrary to the description above, the Ginger in the title doesn't refer to root ginger but Ginger Rogers, who was the inspiration for this perfume. Much better than its matching limited editions GingerKat bubble bars and Badass Ginger shower gel, I tried adding a few drops to unscented body lotion and came up with a very sensual floral.

I have loved this since the days of Cosmetics To Go ... I have a very old bottle of the CTG original which I save for special occasions only. I still hanker for long-lost CTG delights - the Smaragadine bath foam (Tramp was a watery imitation and such a disappointment), Violet Nights bath foam that scented the entire house, and the ORIGINAL Prince of Neroli range, which Lush turned into something most peculiar.

I loved Ginger in the far off days of Cosmetics To Go... (so many lost fragrances when they folded) ... BUT it doesnt sit right on my skin, it changes. It fills the house with the most alluring scent. Delicious squared! But I can only wear it on my hair or clothes. The Ginger bath bombs were perfect - the scent of them stayed true on me... I used to stew in them before going to parties.

Bought this today. I love it. The ginger is powerful and a tad overwhelming at first - A beloved Lush hallmark - but it settles to a delicate floral I. The vein of Clinique Wrappings, but with a ever present soft wood and lingering ginger. I can see why so many fans were so happy this returned. Gorgeous.

Warm and spicy. Smells manly to me but could easily be worn by a woman. Hints of ginger. Very fragrant. Lovely blended with confetti! Exciting and warm and full of life! Smells like a shop I've been to before. New age-y and spiritual. Not much to dislike about it!

Review for new bottle: Smells like a bar of cheap white soap with a mix of dry and fresh ginger(starchy, root-y and spicy). Nice in a naive kind of way, but honestly you should just shower and buy a proper perfume than wearing this!

I love this perfume. Its so feminine. when worn for a few hours. It does smell alot like Paris by Yves Saint Laurent. I dont like Paris but I like Ginger.... Strange :)

The ginger is not an effervescent, fizzy, zingy ginger. It's a rooty, earthy ginger. Very grounding. This is a floral perfume.

One spritz lasts for hours. (I also use it as a room freshener!!)
