It smells amazing! I don't like perfumes that smell like perfume, if I can explain myself. I don't like them to intoxicate and stun with an excessively overwhelming aroma. In fact, my scent is Teint de Neige, clean and special. Well, this perfume, Zeste de Gingembre, is one of those that doesn't overwhelm me. At first it's a bit strong, but after a few seconds, the aroma is clean, fresh but not too citrusy, and enveloping but without stunning those around me, which is something I can't stand. After a while, it remains like a soft and very pleasant essence. It smells like I've just come out of the shower on a summer afternoon. I don't know if it's unisex, but I think it can be used perfectly by both women and men, because of its very clean aroma. As for the permanence, I don't know what to say... It doesn't last on my skin as long as I would like, but I have to say that I've only used a sample, so I didn't want to use too much product. I really liked it, it is definitely a possible option if I ever decide to be unfaithful to my Teint de Neige.
