Five O’Clock Au Gingembre
Eau de Parfum
by Serge Lutens

The Scoop
The legendary olfactory magician, Serge Lutens, leaves Orient and takes us on a journey to England. Five O’Clock Au Gingembre, inspired by the afternoon tea ritual, is truly Old World in its effortless elegance and luxuriousness. Bergamot and candied ginger strike a mouthwatering note and pose an alluring contrast with pepper and patchouli. A touch of honey rounds the composition, giving it a cozy, comforting feel. Never one to be satisfied with conventionally pretty fragrances and never predictable, Lutens gives the composition a darkly gourmand twist with the bitter cocoa note. Traditions and quirkiness, how very English and how irresistible!

Five O’Clock Au Gingembre Notes
Bergamot, candied ginger, honey, patchouli, pepper, and dark cocoa

At first this is an amazing scent, I tried it out and in the first five minutes had to stop myself from ordering awhole bottle without a second thought! Beautiful woody, soft ginger with enough sweetness to round it out, just divine. In half an hour though, this dries down and all i can smell now is amber! I like amber but I want this to stay gingerbread-y!! (cries like a baby). It stays close to the skin and is still a warm cosy type scent, but it will require further testing to see if I can make the first phase stay alot longer, otherwise I won't bother buying it.

I am head over heels in love with FOCAG. I bought it for my husband, and he's very happy about it...

I bought this for my husband on our honeymoon in Paris and it has been my favorite scent on him, hands down. A little spice, a little sweetness, and a lot of warmth. It's definitely unisex...I thought about buying it for myself! I just wish they had an entire line of bath/body products in this same scent. It's really just wonderful.

Great scent! If you like fragrances along the lines of L'artisan's Tea for Two or Parfumerie Generale's Un Crime Exotique, then you should give this one a try. I do find the fragrance leaning more on the masculine side of unisex though.

Livelier than the typical gourmand, more spicy, less foody. A lighter, more wearable ginger than PG's Un Crime Exotique, but with surprising staying power and consistency. Have seen several people describe it as a male scent, but I disagree. Very unisex. Bright, sparkly, not super complex, but enough to be interesting.

I own this scent. It hadn't occurred to me that it would appeal to men before reading the other reviews, but I can see how its richness can be appreciated by all. I consider it a spicy gourmand, deep but with a brightness to it. (Maybe that's the gingery bergamot coming through.) One moment, it's peppery, then honeyed the next. Interesting note about this one: It converted an anti-fragrance friend of mine into a niche-perfume enthusiast!

OMG. At first spray, was not overly impressed. Nice, but nothing to rush out and buy. Have been sitting at the computer for about an hour with it on my hand and decided to sniff again. Can i say again, OMG. FBW to the nth degree. I tried Arabie (too strong) and Chergui (can't smell it after 10 minutes), but this is mmm...wow. I am in love.

I'm really liking this one! It's definitely light for a SL-I think that's the direction most perfumes are going in at the moment. It's spicey, comforting and yummy.

fantastically constructed masculine. I love wearing this comfort scent.

JCParodi -Colorist from New York

Whaddya know...Serge has a lighter side after all! My first impression of this scent was 'playful', something I've never before associated with Serge. And in spite of being light and playful, it still has some of the characteristic chameleon qualities we associate with Serge. As with all Serge scents, this is a journey through the notes, but in this case we're skipping, not strolling.

Love this scent, but not for myself--my husband! I think its a really great unisex scent which works on both of us, but I really enjoy its warmth when he wears it. He had to get over wearing "perfume" but once he did, he loved it too.

Okay, I should have known better that after all my Lutens bashing, I would one day be forced to recant. This is really gorgeous. I get a peppery ginger underlaid by the best of Patchouli. Intense, sweet, sexy without being cloying. Great lasting power and very good sillage. Does anyone else smell Chanel Allure Sensuelle? No complaints either way. May have to possess

Warm and moist ginger cookies. It's nice, certainly, but not the most impressive (or interesting) Lutens offering.

Similar in feel to Rousse, but with a ginger note. Very nicely done.

It's the 5 O'Clock world that waits for me Up every mornin just to keep a job I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob Sounds of the city poundin in my brain While another day goes down the drain But its a five oclock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time And theres a five oclock me inside my clothes Thinkin that the world looks fine, yeah Tradin my time for the pay I get Livin on money that I aint made yet Ive been goin tryin to make my way While I live for the end of the day Cuz its a five oclock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time, and Theres a long-haired girl who waits, I know To ease my troubled mind, yeah oh my lady, yeah oh my lady, yeah In the shelter of her arms everythings OK When she talks then the world goes slippin away And I know the reason I can still go on When every other reason is gone, In my five oclock world she waits for me Nothing else matters at all Cuz every time my baby smiles at me I know thats its all worthwhile, yeah oh my lady, yeah oh my lady, yeah, fade........
