I genuinely believe that most peoples’ disagreement with this perfume is based on a simple misunderstanding. You see, Ginger is
named after one of its ingredients; but that ingredient isn’t Ginger’s base. Rather, ginger just kicks everything else into gear, lending a
saucy air to what could otherwise have been a rather typical floral fragrance generally suitable to one personality type (namely great
grannies who thought the Victorian era was the bee’s knees). But instead, what you get with Ginger is a reserved floral elegance with a
modern twist of citadine chic and attitude. The best analogy I’ve ever been able to come up with for Ginger is Sex and the City: you
know how each of the lead characters seems so different, yet when combined they represent all women rolled into one? Likewise with
Ginger, a combination of elegant rose and innocent mimosa (Charlotte) with spicy ginger and heady aphrodisiac jasmine (Samantha),
plus sweet geranium and carefree ylang-ylang (Carrie), all topped off with zinging juniperberry (Miranda). No matter which character
you’ve always thought you were most like, Ginger manages to ceaselessly serenade you with Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman.” And
frankly, dahling, she couldn’t be more right!

(Limited edition, available only from Lush Japan) – When it comes to gift design, Lush Japan often manages to lift you to the decadent
heights of luxury, with this being THE most beautiful single item Lush gift I’ve ever seen. A specially molded, heart shaped Ginger
soap wrapped in a white chiffon bag and tied with a pink satin rose draped in ivy, this serves as a most excellent gift for giving to rather
innocent types o’ gals who need some gentle coaxing to bring out their inner vixen. The Japanese Ginger Gift Soap looks innocent as
she blushes in her virginal white gown, yet she’s quite a feisty lass, initially being a rather in-your-face floral fragrance that only water
and time can tame. Ginger is dominated by rose, with just enough spicy ginger, juniperberry and aphrodisiac jasmine to trigger a
tantalizing virgin/whore complex (and I mean that as a most becoming compliment in her case!) In my opinion, this makes a perfect
shower gift for a blushing bride-to-be; come the big day, rose and ylang ylang will calm her jitters and keep her honest until the
reception ends, by which time Ginger’s underlying sensual confidence will send her off on her honeymoon with a devilishly seductive
"let the games begin" twinkle in her eye.

Ginger is one of Lush's finest Dusting Powders both for its fragrance and overall consistency. Unlike many other Lush powders, with
an ultra-fine cornstarch and talc base, Ginger is easily blended to avoid a white streaked finish even on freshly towel dried skin. This
is especially true if you use a powder puff to apply Ginger, but also applies when simply pouring this powder into your hands for a
quick direct application. Even when faced with areas that are still noticeably damp from your shower or bath, should whiteness appear
once dried, you can quickly use your fingers to rub it in the rest of the way, sans looking as though you've been playing with sticky
floured dough. In addition to its rich baby soft base powders, Ginger also contains a touch of golden glitter, leaving a delicate shimmer
here and there on the skin. Yet while Ginger contains more golden sparkles than Lush's fairly impotent Bare Naked Lady Dusting
Powder, glitter haters don't have a great deal to fear: the subtly glimmering result won't be long lasting. On the other hand, Ginger
Dusting Powder's fragrance is potently enduring, with a little going quite a long way aromatically: the exotic spice of rejuvenating ginger
combines with spry juniperberry, "floral-green-violet" mimosa, traditional rose, sweet geranium, and sensual jasmine to create a
flirtatiously passionate perfume that knowingly bats its lashes even as it simultaneously tries to play shy and hard to get. Meanwhile,
not only do you smell lovely, but this blend of essential oils is aromatherapeutically designed to simultaneously calm, stimulate, and
inspire confidence. And good thing this mood-altering scent lasts all day and night on the skin: not only does a spritz of perfume
become optional with this powder, but Lush's cheap powder pots do not travel very well whether for short distance touch ups or long
distance journeys, leaking constantly, sans reprieve. And if you don't believe me, try this: turn your closed pot upside down and shake
it over your sink. You'll find that you could probably apply just as much to your skin while the pot is closed as you could when it's open.
What a shame that anyone would take this luxuriously rich product and force it to run about in cheap, shoddy packaging. The way I see
it, that takes almost as much nerve as carting The Queen of England around town in a rusted, three tired Yugo!

Though it initially beats you over the head with its spiced floral perfume, once wet, Ginger Soap evens itself out to become a slice of
perfection in the shower, fragrancing your body for the long haul sans the help of an actual perfume oil. (Of course, it also serves as an
excellent layering piece with Lush’s Ginger Fragrance Atomiser, depending on the level of drama you’re hoping to achieve.) Betraying
its name, Ginger is actually scented primarily with rose; exotic ginger simply lends a gentle, spicy air to what otherwise may have been
a bogged down, been-there-done-that traditional floral. Once rose catches her breath from performing her well-choreographed
opening number with ginger (à la Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire), sweet geranium steps up, with enticingly come-hither jasmine and
playful ylang ylang gradually following suit before juniperberry (a zesty element of gin) decides to give a devilish kick to all of the above.
This isn’t just a girlie soap; it’s also a rather wicked soap. And bar those not at all partial to floral fragrances, Ginger plays the
chameleon quite well, being all things to all people…unless, of course, you intend to solely judge her by her name.

(Discontinued in 2006) – Spicy. Sweet. Floral. Innocent. Lascivious. Whichever's your calling, you'll get your fill from Lush's Ginger Man
bath bomb. Imagine circling the world: a month in the tropics, a week in the Far East, and a day spent in quaint English gardens...
simultaneously, as if time itself were an illusion. (And it is, really. Just thought you should know that.) Ginger & juniperberry warm you;
mimosa, geranium, & ylang ylang calm you; rose & jasmine seduce you (and everyone else within a 10 mile radius, considering how
potent & lasting Ginger Man's overall perfume is.) Add to this worldliness the art of contradiction: decadence teasingly taking the shape
of a gingerbread man, the ultimate icon of our memoried childhood innocence. Bathe with this pink-tinted knight in sparkling aromas,
and despite his appearing bland once he dies for your sensual cause, for the rest of the day, he'll serenade you with each octave of his
noted subtleties, leaving every other man on earth to suddenly seem like a waste of time, despite your bod's bountiful bouquet having
finally managed to get their attention. A conflict of interests? Of course not! The world is now your toy. Play with it, baby.
