Gin and lemon, cold and crisp
Ginfusion turns the mood of a gin-and-lemon cocktail into a perfume. A bright burst of lemon, orange, mandarin, yuzu and pomelo opens it, with peppermint adding a cold edge. Juniper and a gin accord hold the heart, softened by green tea and mate, and the base settles into woods, vetiver and cardamom. The brand calls it fresh and irreverent.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Lemon, sweet orange, mandarin and orange zest lead, with bergamot, lime, yuzu, neroli, pomelo and cassis behind them. Peppermint comes through as a sharp, fresh jolt, so the opening feels crisp and cold rather than sweet.
Juniper and the gin accord hold the middle, softened by green tea leaves and mate tea. Tarragon, lemon balm, spearmint, lemongrass and vervain keep it herbal and cool, while ginger and lily of the valley add a small warm and floral note.
The base is dry rather than sweet: cedarwood, vetiver, sandalwood and wild juniper, with cardamom, oakmoss and amber. It lets the brightness settle, which fits the brand's idea of a play between energy and relaxation. Oakmoss gives the dryness a shaded, mossy depth.
Wearing it
Ginfusion is a daytime scent for warm weather, but the dry woods mean it does not turn thin in cooler months. It fits work, lunches, terraces and the early evening drink. As an extrait it is concentrated, so a couple of sprays are enough.
For people who prefer citrus, herbs and green tea to sweetness. It suits anyone who likes a clean, slightly dry scent that still has some humour, and who wants something to wear to the office as easily as to a terrace. Lovers of gourmand or heavy fragrances may find it too light.
Ginfusion sits in the brand's Cocktail collection. The house motto is that life is a summer to be lived to the fullest, and the brand calls this one irreverent. The composition fits that tone by staying dry and crisp rather than turning sweet.
Questions
It leans towards warm weather because of the citrus, mint and green tea. The cedarwood, vetiver and sandalwood base gives it enough substance for spring and early autumn as well.
The brand set out to capture a gin-and-lemon cocktail: juniper and a gin accord for the spirit, lemon and other citrus for the sparkle, peppermint for the chill.
Extrait de Parfum, as with every perfume from Lorenzo Pazzaglia. It is a concentrated format, so even this bright citrus scent needs only one or two sprays.
The house
Lorenzo Pazzaglia, also styled PAX by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, is an Italian artistic perfumery from the Marche region. Every perfume is an Extrait de Parfum, and the scents are vivid and playful: summer cocktails, sea air, rum and vanilla, cherry and chocolate.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
