Selecting the perfect signature fragrance – one that will truly become an extension of you – is no easy task. Particularly when it’s ginger, which packs such a strong, unique punch. But with a little bit of guidance, we’re sure you’ll be able to find one that perfectly matches your personality and style.
Finding the right notes becomes much easier once you decide what you want your fragrance to say about you. Want to make a big impression and stand out from everyone else? Consider a ginger scent mixed with its even hotter spice cousins (like pink pepper). Or how about something more low-key and work-appropriate? Perhaps, then, a ginger scent infused with citruses (lemon, lime, orange, and bergamot come to mind) or soft florals (like violet and jasmine) might be just what you’re looking for.
You might have heard of the terms ‘cologne’, ‘eau de toilette’, and ‘eau de parfum’ at some point. These labels tell you how concentrated the fragrance is, which in turn will play a role in what ginger scent you eventually choose. Generally, the higher the concentration, the more intense and longer-lasting the scent. Ultimately, whether you want a light cologne, a moderate eau de toilette (EdT), or a stronger eau de parfum (EdP) – it’ll all boil down to your individual preferences and what you need out of a scent.
