Ginger
Ingefær
Duften af ingefær er distinkt frisk og krydret og giver en glimtende topnote til komplekse akkorder. Brugt på tværs af både mande- og damedufte er ingefær en umiskendeligt syrlig tone, der fremkalder en slags olfaktorisk dualitet: skarpt lys og citronagtig, men dybt stikkende og peberagtig.
Ingefær er en favorit i moderne parfumeri, hvor dens evne til at løfte en duft med et øjeblikkeligt krydret, men aldrig overvældende skub gør den uundværlig. Den parres smukt med citrus, gourmand-toner som vanilje og kaffe og varmere basistoner som ambra og sandeltræ.
I feminine dufte tilføjer ingefær en moderne, sofistikeret kant, der bryder med klassiske blomstrede kompositioner. I maskuline dufte bidrager den med en næsten krydret elegance, der gør duften mindeværdig og kompleks - perfekt til dem, der ønsker en duft med karakter og personlighed.
Krydret, skarp og citronagtig - en livlig og energigivende topnote.

Historie
The spicy fragrance of ginger has wafted through our kitchens since Antiquity, with tropical and sub-tropical regions of Asia having enjoyed the delightfully zesty spice since the beginning of recorded human history. Ginger eventually made its way to Europe in the 1st century, when the ancient Romans discovered it while trading with India. However, it was soon forgotten after the collapse of the Roman Empire and only rediscovered by its European audience when Marco Polo brought it back from his travels eastward. During the Middle Ages, ginger was heralded for its supposed magical abilities and aphrodisiac qualities. Thought to ward off plague, the spice became so popular that it found its new home at the dinner table alongside salt and pepper.

The best time to harvest ginger is when the top of the roots start to turn a delightfully pink color, and when the leaves are getting dry—this is the sign that all the precious essence is in the plant’s roots. Ginger is well known for its medicinal qualities. For centuries, we have reveled at its ability to improve digestion, ease motion sickness and nausea, as well as prevent vomiting during pregnancy. Its antioxidant properties help prevent cardiovascular disease and even some cancers.
