Welcome to the cozy world of Serge Lutens Five O'Clock Au Gingembre — a fragrance that has become a cult favorite for niche perfume enthusiasts since its launch in 2008.
This unisex masterpiece is part of the Collection Noire, reflecting the brand's bold and authorial approach, where each bottle tells a story through scents.
Imagine the atmosphere of a London five o'clock tea, filled with spicy notes and warmth — this is the inspiration behind the perfume, making it unique and memorable.
Five O'Clock Au Gingembre is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it an ideal choice for those who value flexibility and depth in perfumery.
In the form of eau de parfum, it offers balanced longevity and medium sillage — not overpowering but noticeable, creating an aura of comfort and sophistication.
This fragrance is perfect for cool autumn and winter days, as well as cozy evening gatherings, where it reveals all its spicy-tea beauty.
It is complimentary and recognizable, thanks to its unique blend of notes that smoothly transition from citrus freshness to a woody-sweet base.
Behind the creation of this fragrance are two visionaries: Christopher Sheldrake and Serge Lutens.
Their collaboration gave birth to a perfume that perfectly fits the brand's DNA — a mix of artistic vision and olfactory mastery.
Five O'Clock Au Gingembre strengthens Serge Lutens' reputation as a house where fragrances are experiences, not just scents.
This release shows how spicy and oriental chords can be executed with elegance and warmth, inspiring new discoveries in the world of perfumery.
If Five O'Clock Au Gingembre has won your heart, it's worth paying attention to other spicy-tea compositions.
For example, L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two offers a smokier interpretation of tea, Henri Bendel Jasmine & Tuberose combines floral notes with spices, and Zara Dry Land presents an affordable alternative with a woody-spicy character.
These fragrances will help expand your collection and find new favorites among unisex perfumes.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Five O'Clock Au Gingembre begins with a refreshing duo of bergamot and cozy tea, creating an intriguing start that reminds of the first sip of an aromatic drink.
In the heart of the composition, spicy warmth unfolds thanks to cinnamon, sharp ginger, and woody accord, adding depth and character.
The base of the fragrance envelops in a sweet embrace with notes of amber, cocoa, honey, patchouli, and spicy black pepper, creating a long-lasting and comfortable finish.
This journey from citrus freshness to spicy-woody heart and sweet base makes the fragrance multifaceted and appealing on the skin.

Ginger, peeled and grated, is boiled in water, but don't forget that green tea is out of place here. We tried it - it was a disappointment. But here's the paradox: ginger water on its own is something amazing. Especially combined with honey, it becomes a real comfort.
Strong black tea, infused with a light aroma of lemon zest, but without the usual tartness. Spices - cinnamon, black pepper, and candied ginger - give the drink their warmth, but a feeling of emptiness remains. This scent, perfect for winter evenings, only emphasizes the loneliness when you're sitting with a book or watching "Harry Potter" There's something sad in this drink, something that makes you think about what's leaving and what remains. SORROW!
