What the gurus are saying

This scent pulls off a delicious ginger-biscuit aroma that lands somewhere between cosy and gourmand, with reviewers drawn to its balance of sweet spice and grounding warmth. The fragrance runs light and close to skin rather than projecting strongly, which those who love intimate scents appreciate. It tends to sell out quickly around the holidays, and layering it with vanilla is a trick some have tried to build more presence.

"I've been wearing Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit. It is fantastic. It is my favorite holiday scent. I finally got my hands on a full-size bottle this year because they have sold out the past two years that I've tried to get it, and it is divine. So I smell like the holidays. This just smells like Christmas, but in the best way, the most sophisticated, luxurious way. It's so good."

I Tried YOUR Holiday Wishlist! 🎁
"The scent is like nothing else. I feel like I've been transported to a cabin in the mountains and I'm sitting by the fireplace every time I wear it. Picture Taylor Swift folklore in a bottle. It just puts me in the best mood. It's the only fragrance I wear in the fall and winter months. Highly recommend."
The BEST Makeup from November!!! 😍 (BLACK FRIDAY DEALS)
"I picked up the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit Cologne in a tiny little size, in a kit with an orange bitters fragrance as well, because that's all I could get my hands on. I finally wanted to smell this perfume that everyone had been talking about last year, and I cannot believe how delicious it smells. The name at first, I thought I wouldn't like it because sometimes I don't like to smell like a baked good. I love a good vanilla, I love a good spice in my perfume, but I didn't want to smell too baked. This perfume smells so fresh and sophisticated and luxurious, and I love it so much. I'm going to enjoy my tiny little bottle through the holidays while I can, but I understand the hype, it really is that good."

It's TIME! 🎉 THE BEST SKINCARE OF 2024!!!
"I wanted to give a little honorable mention to the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit Cologne. This perfume took the internet by storm last year -- I didn't get my hands on it, and so I saw it came back in stock this year. I still didn't get my hands on it -- well, that's a lie, I did get my hands on the little mini size, which is in my purse right now, and I've been wearing that. It is such an incredible fragrance. I am going to be hunting that fragrance down for the rest of my life. Hopefully they restock it next year and I won't miss out, because it truly is so, so good."
THE BEST HAIR, SKIN, NAILS & MORE OF 2025!
"I've been loving the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit perfume, especially around the holidays. I've loved it for years and it smells like a Christmas cookie in the best way. It's fabulous."
The Only Gift Guides You’ll Need! No stress! 🥰
"Jo Malone's Ginger Biscuit could be a fun holiday gift. It literally smells like a Christmas cookie. It's not a very strong scent, but that's what I like about it, since it's more of an up-close skin scent, and it's one of my favorites."

"The top notes are ginger, spicy and fresh, with a zingy lemon quality. It opens the fragrance with lively brightness. Heart note is roasted hazelnut, an unexpected crunchy note that intrigues with its green woody character. Base note is tonka bean, with warm accents of vanilla and almond and a hint of tobacco, adding tangible richness to the fragrance. I freaking love this. It's not a scent I'd normally wear to the gym, but I love it. It also came with this cute little bow, like a little bow tie. This year's Ginger Biscuit comes in a different package, which also looks kind of cute. I think they change the packaging each year to get everyone who loves Ginger Biscuit to buy it again, but I still have so much of this perfume left and I highly doubt I'll ever finish the bottle, because although it's a really nice scent, I feel like it's very much a fall winter kind of scent to me, even though I might wear fragrances whenever I want. This one strongly feels like it needs to be in the fall and winter."

What to Buy & Skip from the Sephora Savings Event
"So what's in my cart, I have the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit, that is a limited edition. I knew nothing about this until a couple of months ago and I got a small size as a gift from a YouTube event, and it smells so good, especially when I mix it with a vanilla scent."
Forcing Myself to Wear ALL of My Perfumes 😩
"Ginger Biscuit from Jo Malone, oh my god, not for summer but oh my god I freaking love this scent. And it was limited edition. I think I wound up having to buy this from a UK retailer and have it sent over here because I missed it on Sephora and I was like, oh my god, I have to have it. Or maybe, no, you know what happened, I missed it on Sephora, I bought it from a UK retailer but it was like ginger something else, it wasn't Ginger Biscuit, I was like, ah, this is not what I wanted. And then it came back on Sephora, and I think when it came back I was able to get it at Sephora."

"I got this little sample at a YouTube event where Jo Malone was part of it. It is so delicious, it smells exactly like a ginger biscuit. I love it so much. With this one, Jo Malone is giving Maison Margiela a run for their money, because they really nailed the replica. This should be a replica, because it smells exactly like a ginger biscuit, 100%. It's got that sweet, it's got that ginger, which I love. I love a gingery, spicy scent: slightly sweet, slightly spicy, a little bit of grounding, which it needs so that it's not too much. It's perfect for layering."
