So many gourmand scents can feel heavy, but this gingery version actually feels fresh, light and zesty. The hints of lychee help add a juicy, sweet note, that’s grounded by deep musk.

Sephora rating: 3.1/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “I grew up with ginger being a big part of my meals and have always disliked its bite and zing. But as an often carsick, airsick, boatsick, teenager, candied ginger became my best friend for all things motion-sickness-related. Perfumer Christine Nagel has been using the collection of Twilly fragrances to explore all things ginger, from its zesty effervescence to its hidden sweetness, and her newest scent explores the blend of ginger blossom with litchi and musk. Surprisingly, there’s almost a slight animalistic quality to this scent, which is unusual to find in a gourmand perfume.” –KH
