Ginger Essence Origins for women and men

Ginger Essence smells like lemon iced tea with a splash of sweet ginger. While not listed in its notes, there is a distinct cardamom note at the base of this scent, furthering the tea/chai associations for me.

Extremely refreshing, this scent it perfect for the summer and for when I'm feeling a bit nauseated or headachey due to the meds I'm on. I imagine this would be great for pregnant women, or for people who are sensitive to perfumes. This is the kind of scent where it's impossible to spray on too much, which is wonderful because I like to mist this all over and occasionally into the air around me.

Unfortunately, the lasting power of this perfume is decidedly weak and fades extremely quickly. I'm considering buying the rollerball for touch-ups but the cost is a major deterrent right now.

If you're wondering what the difference is between this and the Intense version, I was told that the Intense doesn't have as much of the citrus, and it has a longer staying power. Knowing that, I still went with this one because I was looking for something light. I'm extremely pleased with this, and have been wearing it non-stop since I bought it!

Why so expensive? I have/had 2 rollerballs and they have been wonderful! But i dont remember payin like 35 bucks each for them. I dont know. I used this stuff in my purse for headaches, bug bites, hand sanitizer, a quick pick me up... Now im looking for a fresh ginger fragrance and it is like 80 bucks a bottle! Dang it!

I recently sampled this at the airport. I really loved the spicy ginger with softer lemon undertones. Fresh, yet spicy and ideal for those who do not like the herby or oceanic summer frags. A serious competitor to my Clarins Dynamisite, which I currently use as a 'pick me up' on tired mornings. Also love the natural/organic element from this brand, which I find especially appealing when it comes to frags I'm more likely to wear in the sun. Another one for my shopping list!

smells like a warm kitchen, a good-hearted mother. cozy, warm, safe and sound. I picture my self wearing this in the future, when i'm all grown up, making dinner for my family while my kids are playing on the floor and my husband are just coming home from work.

This is perfect daytime, summer and/or casual scent. It's very natural and will complement your natural aroma rather than obliterate it out completely. It's very fizzy and light, but with good silage after 1 hour. The first few minute were a serenade of fresh citrus and raw giner root. This is not at all sweet and I can see this working on a man or a woman. The drydown is sheer and uplifting, yet a little spicy like real dried ginger root smells. The Origins Representative, commented that the body lotion helps to stick the scent and brings out some more of the citrus later on (of course it was a sales pitch, but I agree in this case) I think this will be my next full bottle purchase for Summer.

I love this perfume. It's fresh crisp and spicy all at once! On me it gets a little sweeter, but alas it still smells like I'm trying to wear a perfume that's too old for me. Reminds me of a feminine version of burts bees cologne for men. love this stuff though!

I love this! It's simple, straightforward and very uplifting. If you like ginger, you'll love this! It is *very* ginger, fizzy and piquant, but smooth and sweetened rather than bitter and herbal, with just the right amount of citrus to brighten it up. This is a comfort scent for me, it's so warm and sunny.

I love love love this fragrance, it's really uplifting. Believe me, no-one would hate this kind, nice humble and pleasurable fragrance. It's not too aroma not too spicy but really sweet spices and not boring at all. I just found out its scent of Origin Ginger = Earl gray tea+Mint leaves of Jo Malone in term of uplifting feeling. I love them both but Origin is much more valuable.

To whom that like this fragrance and really want to have more intense power GOOD NEWS, Origin has just release (Nov/2011)intense formula calls "Ginger Essence Intensified fragrance" the same flacon but changed the cap to silver. I am look arround in my area to own it soon.

FRAGRANTICA... please add into new data base too...Thanks

This is a very clean and uplifting fragrance for me. The only problem is that it leaves so quickly. I find myself re applying after about an hour. Wonderful, refreshing scent to revive one's senses of peace and joy ~ Strong 'ginger' spritz.

it is gorgeous and my favorite summer scent - but unfortunately it doesn´t last on me...if there was an edp i would definitely go for it!!!

It begins with a fresh blast of ginger and nicely balanced citruses, and maintains those notes throughout. As it dries down a hint of a sweet tea emerges alongside the ginger/citrus notes slightly softening the scent. It is fresh and invigorating yet manages to also be sweet and comforting. Like sipping on a sweet ginger lemon iced tea in the warm sun. A fabulous and very natural smelling ginger perfume. If you are a fan of fresh ginger scents I highly recommend this. I agree that this scent usually does draw compliments from men.
Sillage is good, very long lasting as well.

I love, love, love this! It's probably not for everyone, but it suits me perfectly. I have received tons of compliemts on it and men seem to love it more than anything else I wear.

I have to be in the mood for this but when I am, it is gorgeous. Sweet ginger and citrus. Its longevity is good, it lasts all day. Some will say its a summer fragrance but I find it quite a comforting scent and most often wear it in Autumn and Winter. It's also surprisingly a little bit sexy but not in a big, loud, in your face way. For those who like natural scents, maybe Jo Malone fragrances - try it. I'm on my second bottle and I can't say that about many fragrances.
