Speedy review: Ghost edt, by GHOST........

Understated, yet gloriously feminine and a true modern classic. 

Ghost the Fragrance is a seamless blend of cool elegance and unexpected warmth, timeless and pure. Silky top notes of Casablanca lily, white rose and Indian ambrette seed are heightened with smoked incense, jasmine and sandalwood. The base notes of spiced amber, musk and vanilla orchid give a relaxed intimacy.

This is one of those "I was sure that I'd already reviewed this" posts...

I bought a bottle of Ghost when it launched in my teens [the name alone interested me] and I still wear it now I'm in my 40s, so it is something that I feel deserves a shout out. 

Although I ultimately think that Ghost smells reminiscent of Turkish Delight, I still don't think of the fragrance as being close to gourmand. This sweet smell is due to the heady top notes of rose, sweet-but-soft apricots, and vanilla.

The middle phase becomes a bit more powdery as the other white florals develop, and as a whole it seems to slightly warm up, thanks to the amoretti and frankincense developing and spicing everything up. As the fragrance gradually fall closer to the skin, the long lasting vanilla and fruits, together with the lingering spice, combine with the woods and soft musk in the dry down.

GHOST is a heady fragrance, so the moderate projection and the 8/9 hour weartime is wonderful considering the reasonable price and edt formulation. I think that Ghost is a good all rounder fragrance - any occasion, day or night, spring, late summer, autumn, or winter.

scent notes: Hibiscus, rose, Casablanca lily, amoretti grains, jasmine, sandalwood, frankincense, vanilla, musk, ambergris and apricots.

Ghost; is by far my favourite perfume; I can go for ages without wearing it as I'm always trying out the newer fragrance offerings, but I'll always come back to it as I haven't found anything I love as much as it. I've gone through countless bottles of it over the years and I am still not bored by it - I actually finished yet another bottle late last year and will replace it sometime soon. 

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