jj_j Report post Posted April 5, 2004 According to the internet, galangal is a cousin of ginger and used a lot in Thai cooking. This definitely has a milder spicy note that's similar to ginger, but leaves me with a much more heated, and less crisp and biting, feeling than regular ginger.

Ina Garten Davita Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I got this in swap, from guess who!! First Impression: Smells like booze. Second Impression: Imagine a shot glass full-up with overproof rum and you've had one too many. And just the smell is enough to make you spew. That's what this smells like. Final Analysis: No, don't want to smell like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood onmy hands Report post Posted April 14, 2007 I was a little afraid to try this on after reading the reviews, but I *love* Galangal single note. This is one of the best spicy scents I've ever tried. On me it smells like a sweet, creamy chai and hints of a dry, spicy wood (sort of like cedar chips). Really warm, comforting, and lovely. I'd buy more of this if it were available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
