Gingembre Exquis Roger & Gallet, that first saw the light of day in 2020, is positioned as a feminine fragrance, drawing from the spicy, floral, and citrus families. The author of this composition is Nathalie Lorson, and that explains a lot. An eau de cologne — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Country of origin — France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Gingembre Exquis is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Roger & Gallet is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de Cologne supports the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Floral, Whiteflower and Spicy. The palette also extends to Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Citrus, Floral and Spicy.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Orange.
When the opening settles you meet Ginger Flower, Iris, Jasmine and Orange blossom keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Powdery without random overlap. Additional accords such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
In summary Gingembre Exquis sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
