The review
On paper, Groovy is a strong bet if you want Ingenious Ginger for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ingenious Ginger's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 55% less than Ingenious Ginger — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on ginger and lemon, turns to cardamom and jasmine, and settles into cedar, musk and amber. That is the brief Groovy is working from.
Top
- ginger
- lemon
Heart
- cardamom
- jasmine
Base
- cedar
- musk
- amber
Fiery ginger and citrus over light woods, energetic and clean.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger we can price, Groovy is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 French Avenue Ravine Ginger Eau De Perfum $36/100ml
- 02 HK Perfumes Groovy $89/100ml
- 03 Scentual Obsessions Ginger Obsession $140/100ml
