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.

"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."

My People Tell Me THE TRUTH About My Fave Fall/Winter Fragrances

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 😩

"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 actually feel like the longer you have a bottle of this, the better it gets. When I pulled it out again, cuz I bought mine last year, when I pulled it out again and sprayed it, I felt like it actually did have more longevity than I recalled from last year. [...] It is such a perfect, like, spicy, warm, everyday Christmas cookie, but also fall. It's perfect. I wear this from September all the way through January, February. It's just my favorite winter and fall cozy daily scent."

I Tried YOUR Holiday Wishlist! 🎁

"Emma talked about the Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit Cologne. I bought the small bottle to try and it smells absolutely divine, so I'm receiving the big bottle for Christmas. How fun is that?"

The BEST Makeup from November!!! 😍 (BLACK FRIDAY DEALS)

"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."

My No-Overwhelm Guide to the Sephora Sale (What’s Actually Worth It) ✨

"I've been trying to get my hands on the full bottle for literally two years now. They finally restocked it and it's literally Christmas in a bottle. [...] I see a lot of reviews saying that this doesn't last very long or it's not strong enough. I like that about this. I personally don't like something that's so overpowering to where it's like all you think about all day is like your perfume. I like that this is more of like a close to your skin type of a scent."

All My Favorites Since Maternity Leave 🤍 (SO GOOD)

"This is Christmas in a bottle. I snagged the mini size last year and rationed that and it was my favorite fragrance throughout the entire holiday season, even into January. This smells like a cookie. It is so good. [...] A lot of the reviews say it doesn't last long, but I actually like the level of fragrance in here. It's not too overpowering, which I prefer, especially as a mom. I'm not trying to smoke out the whole house. [...] I just want to feel pretty and nice."

The Perfect Holiday Makeup 🎄

"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."

It's TIME! 🎉 THE BEST SKINCARE OF 2024!!!

"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."

"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."
