Uniquely Haunting

This is an ethereal powdery woody musky floral. I smell the rose and apricot first, but even people who don't like rose or apricot will enjoy this because neither are overpowering: this is very well put together, so no one note dominates, even though you can pick out individual notes. It's one of the few popular fragrances from the past twenty years that, despite being sweet, isn't sickly. It's also quite light, so it's hard to apply too much.

Long-time love

Cocoa, apricots and nicotiana; that is what this perfume says to me. A long-time favourite this is a great all-rounder which lasts well and warms nicely on the skin. My tastes now move toward the slightly less 'obvious' fragrances but this is only easily available brand that remains in my perfume arsenal and long may it do so!

Nothing special...

Just one of many lightweight, aquatic, fresh scents. Something in it did not agree with me, made me feel hot & uncomfortable, most probably the ambrette seed which is known to cause skin sensitivity.

Ghost

Another throwback from my teenage years recently returned to my collection. It’s such a distinctive scent, truly unlike anything else I’ve ever come across. It’s rose, yes, but also powdery, peachy, and musky. At first sniff I wouldn’t even say I identified it as rose, more of a cool, clean, almost linen-like scent. A great perfume for summer or winter, which can generally be picked up for a great price.

No Small Spirit from the Bottle

Ghost truly has the ability to make itself invisible. In fact, it has been sitting in my dresser for quite some time, not often noticed, and here it seems to be ignored as well. Ghost - the little spirit that is anything but small.
For the scent does not start off timid: The ambrette seeds, derived from a hibiscus-like plant from Asia, begin with a fresh aromatic-sour floral note that quickly gains character and is very pleasant. The Egyptians and Sudanese prepare a wonderfully fragrant and tasty refreshing tea from hibiscus, ideal in the hot summer, especially when one skips the usual ton of sugar!
With delicate, almost shy jasmine and perhaps a hint of incense, the fragrance gains depth, yet remains long aromatic-floral and still carries a wonderful slightly sour nuance. Vanilla, amber, and musk are also lightly dosed. The apricot has probably been nibbled by the spirit itself, but that doesn't harm it. Overall, I don't fully trust the fragrance pyramid here. Ambrette is perceivable until the end.
Conclusion: Compared to the many synthetic fruity monotones that have been on offer for years, the little spirit from the inconspicuous, slightly frosted bottle truly does not deserve such a shadowy existence. It has a certain originality due to its delicate floral-bewitching character, even if the scent progression may be a bit linear. The longevity is surprisingly good.
In any case, it is a lovely summer scent that does not weigh you down and yet is not an inconspicuous, interchangeable water. Those who wear it need not fear turning into a wallflower. On the contrary. Those who want to distance themselves from screaming fruity bases will find themselves well advised with the quirky Ghost. The fragrance has hardly been advertised, and I have only seen it in a few perfumeries. Some of the Ghost fragrances revolve around the theme of evening/night, for example, Deep Night with various flankers. I didn't like Deep Night much due to its piercingly smooth character, but it was probably sold better because of the moon-shaped bottle.
