Discover all about the ingredient ginger in the art of perfumery with the booklet 'Ginger in perfumery' by Nez. Native to Southeast Asia, ginger has spread to Madagascar, where it is now the most important crop for perfumery. A universal remedy par excellence, ginger is known as much for its culinary qualities as for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. Its essential oil has a juicy, lemony, pungent and peppery scent that oscillates between freshness and warmth. Discover all the facets of this beneficial root by journeying through botany, history, mixology, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfume and perfumers.
