Gingembre Rouge Wellbeing Fragrant Water Gift Set

Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge Wellbeing Fragrant Water Gift Set opens on pink pepper, bright and dry with a rosy prickle rather than real heat.

Ginger follows at the heart and gives the composition its character, zesty and fizzing at first, then warmer and more rooty as it settles. Benzoin sits underneath with a soft vanillic resin that rounds the spice off and stops it reading as purely sharp. The arc is a spiced citrus brightness resolving into warmth, and with three materials carrying it the effect is clear and uncluttered.

Roger & Gallet was founded in Paris in 1862 by Armand Roger and Charles Gallet, who inherited Jean-Marie Farina's original Eau de Cologne. The house introduced its round soap, perfumed to the core, in 1879.

This is a fragrant water, a lighter format than an eau de parfum, and it comes as a gift set.
