Gingembre Rouge Fresh Fragrant Water by Roger & Gallet is a vibrant spicy floral fragrance that captures the essence of exotic red ginger, blending warmth with unexpected freshness in a 3.3 oz spray bottle.

Gingembre Rouge Perfume was created by the house of Roger & Gallet with perfumers Alberto Morillas and Amandine Clerc Marie. It was released in 2014. This is a fresh spicy scent for women.

What does Gingembre Rouge smell like?

The fragrance opens with a zesty burst of pink peppercorn and pomelo, immediately awakening the senses with citrus brightness. The heart reveals the star ingredient: red ginger from Madagascar, a rare variety prized for its intensity and complexity. This exotic spice note intertwines with lily and ylang-ylang, creating a floral-spicy balance that feels both modern and timeless. The base settles into warm benzoin and cedarwood, giving the scent staying power without heaviness.

Unlike typical ginger fragrances that lean masculine or overly sharp, Gingembre Rouge maintains a distinctly feminine character. The spice element adds personality and energy without overwhelming the softer floral components. It radiates warmth on the skin while remaining light enough for daily wear.

How long does the fragrance last?

As a Fresh Fragrant Water, this formula sits between traditional eau de toilette and cologne concentrations. You can expect moderate longevity of 4 to 6 hours on skin, with closer-to-skin projection after the first hour. The base notes linger softly throughout the day, making it ideal for reapplication if desired. The 100 ml spray bottle provides excellent value for regular use.

Who is this fragrance for?

• Women who appreciate spicy oriental fragrances but want something wearable for daytime
• Anyone seeking a signature scent that stands out from typical floral or fruity perfumes
• Fans of ginger-forward fragrances with complexity and refinement
• Those who enjoy the heritage and quality of French perfumery traditions
• Spring and fall wearers looking for a scent that transitions beautifully between seasons
