Nutmeg & Ginger (1990)
by Jo Malone

This cologne starts beautyfully fresh and juicy with uplifting lemon and spicy ginger notes, but unfortunately the scent dries down to a pale, dusty nutmeg fragrance within minutes. Still not bad, bad not really good neither.

I don't know why but I really love this fragrance. It's one of my favorites, but I only crave wearing it occasionally, and its lovely layered with either floral or fruity scents.

I concur with both reviews below.

Nutmeg, anyone?

The Ginger is nice but afterwards in about an hour all you get is nutmeg. If you are a die hard "All spice" lover and ginger lover get this..but...people told me I smelled like Christmas Cookies and a Christmas Tree.

Its not really masculine and its not really feminine...literally, you smell like warm christmas cookies and egg nog (all that nutmeg) its not bad..but only if you really like it.

Also keep in mind that this is an ok scent. While this was Jo Malone's first scent..its not her "Wowzers that smells so good, different and great" type colognes that people stop you on the street to ask you what you are wearing ( Think Grapefruit,Orange Blossom French Lime Blossom,Amber & Lavender, and Lime Basil Mandarin)

Those 5 scents I just mentioned by Jo Malone are truly unique and unlike anything else on the market. Not a bad fragrance but I dont think its really worth buying..unless you LOVE Nutmeg.

The Verdict: Proceed with Caution.Not a bad scent, but is it worth buying? Thats up to you

This starts out very nice and spicy, although not overpowering. However, after an hour or so, the ginger is gone and all that's left is nutmeg. A lot of nutmeg.
