Zinzibar The Body Shop for women

I bought this perfume unsniffed because I liked the other perfumes they were selling for "2 for £ 12" back then.
But I really do not like this frag.

Of course I tried it and I thought that maybe there is something wrong with MY nose but my male best friend once asked me if I had bathed in cough medicine and since then I have only worn Zinzibar when I was actually sick.

I do believe that it could smell fresh and cool with the right skin chemistry but Zinzibar is just too much for me.

I'm not surprised nobody loves this fragrance. Its just citrus, citrus, ginger, pepper. I still wear it though, but thats probably because nobody else does and I don't wanna be wasteful; besides, its not terrible, still tolerable but its so typical. It has a sharp smell, citrusy-gingery smell, that I just don't like and gives me a slight head-ache. I absolutely can love spicy fragrances, just not this one.

The Body Shop ZINZIBAR is a bright and refreshing, somewhat peppery aromatic fragrance that seems to be intended for men or as unisex, given the characteristic notes present.

Although ZINZIBAR has a bit of a bracing quality upon initial spritz, the edt is relatively shortlived, making this seem more like a cologne to me. The clean citrus and ginger are brisk and invigorating but evaporate in a flash.

I recommend this fragrance for men and women to use on hot summer days. It definitely has a cooling and rejuvenating effect, in addition to smelling pleasant and fresh.

I like ginger in small doses, it adds personality to a fragrance...but this is just too much ginger...infact ginger is all I can smell in this scent. I actually sneezed when the SA spritz some on for me to smell. Definitely not for me.

i just bought it, afterwards found out that it's discontinued - really a pitty since it is so nice. maybe not for everyone- it is light, subtle, uncomplicated - but has such great longvity and body.
it is energizing but without being citrusy. it is not so spicy as it seems more aromatic. but at the same time it becomes more freesia woody without loosing the aromatic feel...the pepper is not prominent to my nose. whereas the subtle ginger is just great. i will buy again since it is a great choice for summer...for both gender btw
