Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger Eau De Parfum Spray

If you need to bottle sunshine or simply want a fragrance that doesn't weigh anyone down by afternoon tea, Ingenius Ginger from Goldfield & Banks does exactly that. It opens with bergamot and mandarin - both bright citrus notes - and then ginger comes in hot and spicy and refreshing all at once, like the zing of fresh ginger beer on a humid morning. The middle is magnolias and white florals blooming over amber which gives it depth without making it heavy.

It is the kind of scent that works as an everyday perfume or as something to wear when you want people to notice you - not in a loud way, but in a pleasant way. You can throw this on for brunch with friends, at work where your desk shouldn't smell like anything remarkable, or as an effortless signature. It also makes a solid gift for someone who appreciates fragrance that feels fresh and uplifting. The bottle is gold and the name Goldfield & Banks sounds substantial - which it is.
