The Scent: In Chinese, the word ginseng translates to mean the essence of man (gin = man; seng = essence). In China you will rarely find a prescription from a doctor that doesn't include ginseng. We just love this distinctive, fresh and invigoratingly transparent scent.

"Wow this is my favorite after Sawdust. It's a sweet resinous and herbal smell that works great as a perfume. It isn't leafy herbal like green tea usually is which I'm not crazy about. This is smooth syrupy and aromatic, refreshing and rich at the same time. Hard to explain. It doesn't last long but I wish I knew I'd love it to get the big bottle"
"A nice refreshing smell"
"Smells fairly nice but not quite what I would expect from ginseng root. Has an almost soapy scent and I classify it in what I call Demeter's air freshener/fabric softener scents. It's almost a less in your face version of Providence Meadow with some earthier notes"
"Smells somewhat citrusy and tangy. Very nice!"
"Ok, so I never in a million years thought I'd like this Free Gift that came with my last order. And I NEVER would have imagined that it would become my absolute favorite scent!! It is like a sophisticated Ginger Ale that sparkles!!! I didn't even like the Ginger Ale scent too much; but, Ginseng Root delivers something akin to magic! When you smell it you actually feel like you've inhaled tiny energetic bubbly sparkles!! Just try it!! You'll see what I mean. :D"
"Lemony with an odd oily/earthy note. This almost smells like ginger but it's not as hot. Maybe it could be called woody?"
"This was one of my free gifts - I normally wouldn't have chosen it but I was intrigued by the other reviews. I feel bad giving it three stars - it's just not my thing in particular but I can see why it would be highly rated by others. For me, it at first smelled a little cologne-y (which I like) but then died down to a lemony-citrusy-gingery type of smell. If you like fresh scents like that, you'll like it. I would like it as a diffuser more than a perfume, and may use it as a linen spray! Think it's great for that. I may try to layer it with something deeper or with something grassy."
"This Demeter smells like my dad. It smells like his bed and his car. It has almost a leathery undertone to it that isn't unpleasant to me, and a note that's very astringent and slightly spicy. It's a bit woody and for me, I think layering it with a sweeter or more floral scent will round it out nicely. I think this is a masculine scent on its own but could be transformed into a warm, spicy gender neutral scent if mixed correctly."
"Peppery, fresh, woody, springlike. Not too strong, doesn't last long on me, but a nice fresh pick-me-up scent."
"Ginseng is like wood and citrus and should appeal to the same men who like Demeter's Gin & Tonic, Baihao Yinzhen Tea and Cannabis Flower. sporty and a blue-green scent. cool and young and fresh."
