No, it isn't long lasting — that is why I specified that it had staying power *for a Demeter*. Now that you can buy the minis for $5 each, I don't mind — they're fun for “scent memories”, but I don't think of them as all-day perfumes.

I love ginger in general, esp candied ginger which I ate to ease my terrible morning sickness. I'm pleased that this is the Demeter that you consider the best, as it was the only one I ever bought, way back before I was really into perfume. But — perhaps they've changed the formulation since the mid '90's — I remember being very frustrated with the lack of staying power. On me it just disappeared, so I never bought another.

Petite Cherie is the hardest — they ought to sell it in 15 ml bottles. I've given up on keeping even decants.

I like this fragrance, too! It smells perfect, like gingerale and I do get compliments on it from men when I wear it. You must protect it from light. I was a perfume novice when I first got this, and had it at my desk at work and it got discolored and funky in the space of four months! I learned to keep all of them in the dark after that. Petite Cherie and Gardenia Passion from Annick Goutal are the same way. I won't buy anything larger than 1.7oz of either petite cherie or Gardenia passion anymore, and don't buy it online on Ebay unless it's from andyfrog or fragrancenet.

Ok, I'm guessing 'biccies' is biscuits or cookies?

And I need to re-try the Origins, it has been a long time. I think I liked the body cream…

I love the biccies ' Ginger Nuts'. Mmmm! I dip them in my tea and they go all soggy! I have never seen a Demeter fragrance on sale in the UK. I will try Liberty when I next go to London. I'd like to get to smell at least one of them, they always sound crazy!

I LOVE ginger ice cream! Origins ginger line is awesome. I haven't tried the Demeter fragrance, but I'll have to check it out…

Demeter never caught up here, in the UK. They used to be sold in Harvey Nicks. I believe Liberty stocks a small range.

Try as I might, I cannot find a UK site that carries all the Demeter fragrances; just a limited amount. Looks like the newest ones only are coming up.
