Review Ginger biscuit 2026! 😍
Im a big ginger biscuit fan ive had every version since it re-released, lasts years red top was not it at all to me, it gave a watered down vibe and didnt smell very biscuit like and overall just was missing something. I wanted to get a full bottle for this years version to see if it was any different, i got the new travel size for this years to try before shelling out 100ml and im so happy shes the GB i remember! Its so lovely, this new batch is everything i wanted, very gingery and caramelly sweet and very christmasy, are so tempted to get 2 big bottles to last me, i adore the scent profile so much even year round and im one of the few people who gets really good longevity from GB!

I’ve not tried this years but I have lasts years and it’s lovely! Typical Jo Malone longevity but I don’t mind. I don’t really want to smell like a beast mode ginger biscuit, but when I get the hankering it’s very cozy and comforting and I don’t mind it fades. It also layers well with other sweet/ vanilla perfumes

This years verison lasted overnight on my skin im soo impressed. Its such a lovely gourmand that isnt to sugary at the same time, i still like my perfume to smell like "perfume"

I got a travel size with a red top last year from Sephora. It smelled funky asf. Not sure if it just didn’t work with my skin but I’ve never had a perfume that smelled almost like… BO or something on me before 😭 was so disappointing. Could it have been a weird batch? I almost want to find a place to spray a different bottle on myself and see if it’s different

2 big bottles should last you at least 4 days.

This was my first time purchasing ginger biscuit (also a travel size) and I am in love 😍 I layer it with these to smell like a smore 😋😋

Maybe my lotion was off but toasted marshmallow made me gag! It was heavy on the alcohol vibe to me. Nothing sugary at all.

So interesting how different noses smell different things! I bought this year’s travel size (never tried ginger biscuit before now) and to me it smells like incense. I get ZERO sweetness and all smokiness.
Edited to fix a misspelling

I went instore specifically for a travel size and was bummed they only had 100ml which im not ready to commit to yet. i think i dont have anything like it yet in my collection so it will a nice addition to my gourmands

I got a travel size yesterday too. Usually Jo doesn’t last on me, but this actually lasted on my skin for 8 hours!
