Launched in 2013 by Jo Malone London, Ginger Biscuit is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel as part of the Sugar & Spice collection. This scent captures the essence of freshly baked ginger biscuits spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of caramel sweetness. The top notes of ginger and nutmeg create a warm, spicy aroma that transitions into a heart of caramel and hazelnut, adding a buttery richness to the composition. The base notes of vanilla and tonka bean provide a comforting warmth, rounding out the fragrance with a sense of comfort and indulgence.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms best with time — apply it to your wrists and neck in light spritzes. The spicy top notes are prominent at first but give way to a warm vanilla base that settles into your skin over an hour, making it perfect for afternoon tea or a cozy evening at home.
