Poor Longevity--but it comes in a Jug!
Marc Jacobs GINGER is a minimalist ginger cologne which initially reminded me a touch of Bond no 9 NEW YORK FLING, until I compared them side-by-side and found that the Marc Jacobs composition is much simpler and apparently totally devoid of floral and green elements. Passion flower is listed among the notes, but on my skin and to my nose GINGER offers a very light layer of...ginger!
It smells very clean and fresh, and I really don't have a problem with the poor longevity, because it comes in a jug and serves its primary purpose quite well: as a quick and clean scented source of refreshment!
So far I have to say that I am happy with the Marc Jacobs Splash collection. What I don't understand is why the company would decide to issue such heavy (and attractive, I might add...) bottles filled with (gasp!) 300 ml of juice! I remember the first tme I encountered one of these: I was on vacation in Puerto Rico, the bottle was of AMBER, and I could not believe the price, especially since I had discovered the original MARC JACOBS and ESSENCE and BLUSH and liked them all. I ended up not buying the bottle at the time, however. Why? Because it was too heavy and clunky to pack in my bag!
One final question: is Yann Vasnier the Alberto Morillas of the twenty-first century?
