Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger is a unique olfactory interpretation of the scentless ginger lily flower – the favorite bloom of brand founder Dimitri Weber. For the very first time in perfumery, the fragrance features Australian red ginger from the Atherton region, brought to life by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, who infused the composition with a radiant, spicy character.
The fragrance opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot and mandarin, enhanced by the effervescent freshness of ginger. At its heart, luminous magnolia adds elegance and brightness, while the base of amber and vanilla envelops the skin with warmth and sensuality.
Ingenious Ginger is a citrus-floral-amber unisex perfume that transports you to the tropical landscapes of Australia, evoking joy, freedom, and harmony with nature. With around 20% essence concentration, it offers remarkable longevity and intensity. Like all Goldfield & Banks creations, it is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from animal-derived ingredients.
