The museum is undergoing a deep freeze
I really want to like Ghost Ship. The perfumer is from Chicago, which appeals to my Midwestern pride; they're inexpensive and generous with samples, which appeals to my wallet; and they're themed after local history and literature, which appeals to the insufferable snob in me. But asides from Edmund Fitzgerald , they tend to leave me cold, and I mean that in more ways than one.
Case in point: Night at the Museum. The listed notes seem like something I ought to love: smoke, ginger, woods, musk. And there is a subtle sharpness from the ginger, which is nice, but the rest of the fragrance feels as if it's been freeze-dried. I don't know if my body temperature just isn't warm enough to make this bloom or what, but it's like the difference between smelling fresh-baked bread and bread out of the refrigerator. Ghost Ship is refrigerator fragrance.
