They keep the mix in case you want it re made but you don't get the details.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't really invesitigated ginger scents before this but I do like the Roger and Gallet gingerbread one and admire the Serge Lutens too. <BR/><BR/>When I went on holiday to Barcelona there were lots of ginger scents that I had never seen!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-19612314945080139902008-10-20T19:21:00.000-07:002008-10-20T19:21:00.000-07:00Scentscelf, funny you should mention the mole idea...Scentscelf, funny you should mention the mole idea. Historians have hypothesized that mole actually owes its origin curry. Interesting enough the Naga chocolate bar is not the savoury side but the sweet side, it sounds really strange, but it is really good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095625947716520270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-14862186162239162952008-10-20T19:19:00.000-07:002008-10-20T19:19:00.000-07:00Rose, what kind've ginger scent was it?

I love the opening of 5 O'Clock au Gingembre but I am not to in love with the dry down. I realize I had another ginger fragrance in my wardrobe; they seem to work really well on me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095625947716520270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-37057135382533717142008-10-20T18:01:00.000-07:002008-10-20T18:01:00.000-07:00Chocolate and curry...kind of an eastern take on m...Chocolate and curry...kind of an eastern take on mole, eh? :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-83623622927167537082008-10-20T14:49:00.000-07:002008-10-20T14:49:00.000-07:00I love ginger and interestingly when I had a perfu...I love ginger and interestingly when I had a perfume blended for me(well it was more oils blended so it wasn't as grand as it sounds) the scent they put together had quite a lot of ginger in it, but I hadn't thought of it as being a favourite smell.<BR/><BR/>I also love star anise and cloves and basically anything Christmasy!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-53253015645474973662008-10-20T09:53:00.000-07:002008-10-20T09:53:00.000-07:00Hi Daily, I just made this sort've keema (I basica...Hi Daily, I just made this sort've keema (I basically took a Nigella Lawson recipe and played with it, using ground turkey instead) the other day and used curry.

I'm Peet's Garuda blend (my favorite when I worked there). You've got some good spices going there.
