INGENIOUS GINGER

Ingenious Ginger is a unisex eau de parfum by Goldfield & Banks, the Australian luxury perfume house founded by Dimitri Weber. Launched in 2023 and signed by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, it is a bright, sparkling floral amber that quickly became one of the brand's bestsellers: a sunny, sensual, feel-good fragrance built around a flower that has no scent in nature.

The Fragrance

Ingenious Ginger is the olfactory imagining of the torch ginger lily, a spectacular tropical flower with red petals that is completely scentless. To "give" it a fragrance, Goldfield & Banks used, for the first time in the world, Red Back ginger, a native variety that grows on the lush highlands of the Atherton Tableland in tropical Queensland. The result is an artfully created accord, which the brand describes as bright and inspiring, paired with botanicals from Italy, Brazil and China. Like all of the house's creations, it combines Australian raw materials with French savoir-faire, at a concentration of 20% essences.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is sparkling and sunny: the Australian ginger flower accord bursts out together with Italian bergamot and lemon, with an effervescent effect that many compare to ginger ale. After a few minutes the floral heart blooms: Brazilian mandarin accompanies Chinese magnolia, jasmine and rose, making the composition soft and luminous. As the hours pass, the fragrance settles on a warm, creamy base of Australian sandalwood, vanilla, amber, musk, cashmeran and a touch of patchouli, leaving a sensual vanilla trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Ingenious Ginger To

We recommend Ingenious Ginger to anyone who loves bright, joyful fragrances with a warm, enveloping base that can accompany them from morning to evening. It is perfect in spring and summer, for free time, holidays and the office, and it is a great favourite with those looking for an original fresh scent that is not the usual citrus. It is a unisex fragrance, to be worn whenever you are in the mood for sunshine.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Ingenious Ginger has a contagious energy: the first spray puts you in a good mood, and then it turns into something softer and more sensual than you would expect. It does not surprise us that it so quickly became one of the house's most requested scents: it is one of those fragrances that, once tried, you remember.
