The review
On paper, Spiced Ginger is a reasonable bet if you want Cologne for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cologne'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 $83 per 100ml it costs 32% less than Cologne — the 2nd cheapest of 14 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 Perfume Parlour 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 lemon, bergamot and orange, turns to neroli, orange blossom and jasmine, and settles into white musk, amber and cedar. That is the brief Spiced Ginger is working from.
Top
- lemon
- bergamot
- orange
Heart
- neroli
- orange blossom
- jasmine
Base
- white musk
- amber
- cedar
A straight lemon-neroli cologne from the house of provocation, the joke being there is none.
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 16 twins of Etat Libre d'Orange Cologne we can price, Spiced Ginger is number 2 on price per 100ml.
