I smell cloves very strongly and cinnamon, combined with a hint of pineapple. It's a very strange combination and I think I would love it if it wasn't for the cloves smell. I think it should be called Clove Crime. If you love clove you should try this, if you hate clove avoid this one at all costs.

This smells like a frosty fall day, christmas dinner, and cloves all wrapped up - a truly unique perfume. It smells overly spicy at first but mellows to a really complex yummy flavor. I wanted so badly to love this perfume, but after about 15 minutes, it smelled like potatoes! Darn my weird chemistry...

Even though it didn't work on me, I would reccomend this as a must try.

My HG gourmand fragrance! I get the gingerbread references but to me this is more of a warm from the oven, rum soaked mincemeat pie with cream on top and a side of spicy black tea. I groan with delight when I put this on. Excellent lasting power. Dry down is whipped cream edged with vanilla. If you remember Comptoir Sud Pacifique's Pain D'Epices it is similar to that, only better, richer, creamier, boozier. Delicious! It costs more than I like to pay for fragrance, but this is worth it!

bbBD pretty much nailed it. Densely spicy gingerbread garnished with cinnamon and served with a cup of tea. Makes Five o'Clock au Gingembre feel like an EDT. This lasts forever and ever. Amen.

Absurdly fantastic! Similar in concept to the new Serge Lutens 5 OClock Gingerbre, but definitely distinct and unique, and while its a gourmand I think it would appeal even to those who don't like gourmands. It starts with a distinct gingerbread note, not sweet like cookies but rather spicy like mulled cider spiked with cinnamon and rum. This is a very, very full bodied fragrance, and is develops a distinct black tea accord intertwines with the spicy gingerbread, with just enough sweetness. The interplay of tea and gingerbread is what makes this fragrance and will probably lead me to buy a bottle. On drydown sandalwood and vanilla become more prominent - as does the cinnamon, and blend everything together perfectly.
