Ravine Ginger captures the spicy-fresh character of Ingenious Ginger reasonably well, with a comparable ginger prominence and citrus opening. However, the clone's base leans slightly warmer with more amber presence, making it less crisp and slightly more linear than the original's sophisticated dry-down.
The clone has a softer, less refined base with reduced cedarwood definition and added amber warmth. Longevity and sillage are slightly diminished compared to the original's robust projection.
What people who wear French Avenue Ravine Ginger report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Loved the scent dna but very weak longevity on skin (it lasts longer on clothes) and sillage is very intimate. Very close to skin and virtually no trail scent, no projection. Wish it was stronger (not asking for beast mode but at least moderate performance) as I really liked the blend.”
“Definitely a bit of a letdown when I first got it. I blind bought it right after hearing that there is finally a good dupe of Ingenious Ginger on the market. Ingenious Ginger is my favorite freshie of all time, so this one definitely had some big shoes to fill. This fragrance feels a lot sweeter, more floral, and the amber definitely feels stronger to me compared to the original, and the opening lacks the fizziness I love so much about Ingenious Ginger. I'm still pleased with the smell, though the performance really isn't as good as I was expecting. Still a 7/10 for me though.”
“Very nice fragrance. The ginger and citruses are mostly present on the opening or on clothes. On the skin, it quickly fades into vanilla with a dryer woody ginger.I personally quickly go nose blind from it but from my friends I’d say that the projection is moderate. And longevity is good, better on clothes tho.Cons are it’s a bit too sweet and can come as unisex. I’d still say that it’s cool for the summer since it’s not that strong.”
