Ginger in Perfumery

Discover all the facets of this beneficial root by journeying through botany, history, mixology, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfume and perfumers.

Its essential oil has a juicy, lemony, pungent and peppery scent that oscillates between freshness and warmth.
