    I love the idea of this scent but it's not working out for me. I received a large spray tester and have road tested it several times. It is just too masculine to me. It definitely has notes of...

    All those who love ginger scents but have a hard time finding one that is predominately ginger -take heart- for you have this. A gorgeous warm comforting scent to me. Beautiful swirls of ginger and...

    my nose is stuck on my arm as I write this review. I cannot stop smelling myself to the point that I ordered myself a bottle online as soon as I got home from sparying it. It has a wonderful...

    If I were a man I would probably give this 4 or 5 lippies since I think it's a great masculine scent but would not work for most women.

    I was expecting creaminess, and gingery spice with warmth. I just felt it fell flat on me. Nothing lovely or mysterious. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just perfume in a tall bottle. What a shame. I...

    I see the appeal in about half of the Serge Lutens I've tried, but I only really like about 6, and only 3 enough to buy. This one is lovely oriental woods with hot ginger top notes, but it ends up...

    I think I'm in love. It wasn't immediate. When I put this on, it smelled pretty similar to Un Bois Vanille, so I was disappointed. But this fragrance evolves wonderfully on my skin. I get the tea...

    When I first tested this a little on my hand, I passed it over as a pretty but boring ginger fragrance. After I had a chance to really wear it though, I think it smells fantastic. The...

    What a huge disparity in opinions on this one. I've tried several Lutens and loathed them all, except this one so far. On me it goes on with a peppery ginger note, then sweetens beautifully. I...

    Pleasant warm spicy woodsy tea, a good sillage that lasts about two hours and overall a Serge Lutens quality fragrance, but it is too masculine for me.

    Sorry but I am in the minority here--I think the emperor is not wearing clothes. Tried this twice at Blue Mercury and equally unimpressed each time. Hardly smell any ginger. It's a bit woody and...

    This is a fine sweet soft ginger fragrance. On contact with my skin it develops into a warmer and sweeter uncomplicated gingery scent. It reminds me of the root ginger drinks that used to be sold...

    I think I would have liked this - if it hadn't disappeared completely before I'd even got out of the shop. What a pity!

    Unmistakably Serge Lutens. Spice cake and lapsang souchang tea. And it reminds me of Cedre a little bit-- there's some sort of hidden floral in it. And this is the nicest cocoa note I've smelled....

    Not my favorite but I do think it will smell wonderful on hubby. This overwhelmingly turns to tobacco smoke on me. I am of past a certain age, very fair and have dry skin. I like the initial ginger...

    Ginger, beeswax, tea, some vetiver and a hint of patchouli. A delightful fragrance. I was surprised to find it less smoky than I expected, definitely not sweet and also not very gourmand in my...

    This fragrance starts out as a fresh ginger, with just a little bit of the bite one founds in nature. Somehow it's recognizable as fresh ginger even without much of that. It then goes into...

    When I first sprayed 5 O'Clock au Gingembre, the ginger was definitely out front, followed quickly by fresh bergamot. But like all SL fragrances, it began to change, and you must give SL's...
