Speedy review: GHOST Orb of Night edp, by GHOST...

 Possess the magic of nature’s most transformative moments: sundown and sunrise. Orb of Night breathes life into the new day.... 

The moon. The sun. Opposites in perfect harmony, sharing the canopy. Embracing their time to illuminate. Silent moments unveil the light. Romance is revealed in soft focus as the Orb of Night descends and a passionate sun rises once more. A time to escape and connect. The sky mesmerises. The depths of night quietly greet the possibilities of morning. Calm energy wraps the air, pure and all-consuming. Feel deeply. Let the warmth charge your soul.

An alluring cherry-almond flirts with a beating heart of treasured ethereal florals. Caramel melts upon a base of warm sandalwood signalling nocturnal riches. Intriguing orange blossom gently layers delicate white musk.

The original GHOST perfume is hands down my longest-term favourite fragrance and I've also really enjoyed several of the brand's other fragrances too, so knowing that this contains cherry notes was like a siren's song to me...

Mmmm. Cherry bakewell comes to mind thanks to the blend of cherry, almond and vanilla, with hints of caramel being detectable immediately. However I wouldn't describe the opening as being gourmand as the fresh & juicy combo of bergamot and mandarin prevents everything from being too sweet and cozy.

If you are a fan of Ghost you'll enjoy the powdery floral heart and warm, slightly spiced, amber base, which shares several key scent notes; I can also separate some lily, which also is in Ghost. The undertone to everything is a bit soapy, so the lingering fruits, florals, warmth & sweetness are never close to being overwhelming. 

Vanilla-based fragrances don't always wear well on me I don't want to give any averages for the longevity & projection. Other people compliment me on this fragrance hours after application, so I know that it must wear well, but it comes and goes in waves to my senses. 

Offiially listed scent notes: Mandarin, Cherry, Almond, Bergamot, Freesia, Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Sandalwood, Caramel, White Musk, Ambergris Accord.

Sweet, but not too sweet. A nice floral heart, but not too rich in florals. Juicy fruits, but not too Juicy. The wearability for Orb Of Night is excellent; day, night, spring, summer, autumn or winter, it works anytime, anywhere. I've never felt underdone or overdone wearing it. I really wish that this wore better on me, as when it is detectable to me I love it. I still recommend testing it because if vanilla-based fragrances wear well on you then this is a winner - Orb Of Night now has a 125ml refill bottle on the brand's site too.  

Most fragrance retailers stock Orb Of Night, but I recommend checking online and in outlet stores for the best offers - most days you can find various bottles & giftsets for under £20.
