It's interesting that some reviews describe Kumiho as a relative of Old Shanghai or Embalming Fluid. I can't wear either of those because my body chemistry latches onto lemon big time, but like isyche, I don't get any lemon from Kumiho. Wet, I smell both the clean, slightly sweet white tea and the sharp bite of ginger, perfectly blended. It then dries down on me to a very delicate white floral with hints of the white tea adding some sweetness and the ginger giving it some backbone.
My first 5 ml bottle purchase from BPAL will be Kumiho (when it arrives), although I sometimes wonder if I should have bought a 10 ml bottle. As others have noted, Kumiho does not last long. I've found that I can lengthen its stay by layering it over the Bath & Body Works White Tea & Ginger body cream. Although B&BW has discontinued this scent, there are other companies which make white tea & ginger body products (MMU, A Zaftig Woman, Luna Bleu).
