This is a near exact clone of Avon White Ginger (Hawaiian Ginger) from the 1960s and 1970s !
That said- it has “synthetic ” written all over it as it lasts FOREVER which is so un-natural.
As a “poly-scent” it’s nice enough and would make a better “room scent” that a body worn one.
For the low price…nobody can complain. Cloying, sweet and oddly nostalgic .

WHITE GINGER is a very pleasant, energizing, gingery-floral scent that’s nice for casual wear and any time you need a pick-me-up. Although it comes on strong at first, I find that it soon dries down to a moderate sillage. After about 4 hours, it softens to a skin-scent, but it continues to linger for quite a long time. As the other reviewers have noted, this is a linear scent in terms of development.
The first time I smelled this at the store, I was instantly reminded of a discontinued Avon fragrance called HAWAIIAN WHITE GINGER, which I have. After buying the Kuumba Made oil, I confirmed this with a left wrist/right wrist comparison. The Avon scent is somewhat stronger and spicier, but they’re still very similar.

Tested on the back of my hand from the tester at Whole Foods.
This is the flower, not the root. It is a heady and gorgeous white floral that smells clean and a touch soapy.
Doesn’t develop much, but it’s pleasant and potent.

I love this fragrance. It is truly beautiful.
I originally bought this and amber paste from the same house for my mother, as we both loved them.
We have a white ginger plant by our back door, and this is the smell that perfumes the yard for months in the summer when it’s blooming. Being a fragrance oil rather than an EDT or EDP, it is very linear, but that’s fine with me as the scent is to die for.
For those of you not familiar with the white ginger flower, it is a gorgeous, tropical, thick, creamy, white floral scent. Think along the same lines as tuberose, gardenia, etc., obviously not the same scent but in that category.
As far as longevity goes, I can put it on at night and still catch a faint whiff of this in the morning. Be careful when you put it on, however; while this is a pretty innocuous scent, it, like all of the Kuumba Made fragrance oils, is a sillage monster when first applied.
