The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002, Herrera for Men Refreshing Ginger by Carolina Herrera is a fragrance that balances spicy and woody notes to create an invigorating yet sophisticated scent. The composition opens with ginger, clove, and cardamom, providing a fresh and stimulating aroma that immediately captures attention. As it settles, the warm tones of tobacco, amber, sandalwood, and musk emerge, adding depth and complexity.
Apply two sprays in the morning for a long-lasting effect. The spicy top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so rely on the woody base to carry you through the day.
