Gingerlily Therapy

The Healing Garden's Gingerlily Therapy (back then it was called 'Gingerlily sensations') was one of my favourite feel-good fragrances in the late 1990s. Gingerlily Therapy is a rather linear scent with good staying power (around 3 - 4 hours) and average sillage (noticeable but would not annoy other people). The scent itself is described best as floral and spicy. The floral note is quite a heady white flower concoction made of a multitude of white flowers - not only lily. The spicy ginger note is right there from the start and feels cool and hot at the same time. Despite the spicy and herbal notes that this fragrance is made of, the overall scent impression is sweet and floral with hot and cool spicy notes. Certainly a 'like' for me.

I've always wanted to have this body spray. My aunt bought this as a prize during our yearly reunion. Needless to say, I didn't win but I did get a whiff of this scent. And it was enough to make me want to own one.

Reminds me a bit of Derek Lam's A Hold On Me. I like it! My vintage bottle still smells nice.

Sunny white flowers and musky, lemony candied ginger. I wore this when I was a kid, and the scent still takes me back. A simplistic fragrance, but considering what it is (a body spray to go along with scented functional products), it's quite well done. A nice scent for little girls -- or older ones who just want a pick-me-up.

I wore this a ton when I worked for the St Louis Opera in the summer of 1998. So many good memories! It's warm from the ginger but still sparkling fresh from the other notes. It's just a very happy smell. I was surprised how much Calvin Klein Beauty reminded me of this.
