The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011, Cocktail Splash Ginger by Marc Jacobs is an aromatic spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Yann Vasnier. This composition opens with a vibrant burst of ginger and coriander, creating a fresh and invigorating top note that immediately captures attention. As it evolves, the scent introduces cognac and rhubarb for a touch of sweetness and warmth, while geranium and passion flower add a lush green floral heart. The base notes of musk and sandalwood provide a grounding earthiness, balancing out the bright and spicy opening.

How to wear it

For the best experience, apply Cocktail Splash Ginger to pulse points for a lingering effect. The ginger and coriander notes are particularly bright and project well initially, so one or two sprays are sufficient. Allow it to settle on your skin for about five minutes before heading out.
