Ghost perfumes, note by note
Ghost Deep Night (2001) reads as fruity rose peach lotion with powdery musk, opening on rose, bergamot and datura and drying down to amber, musk and vanilla. Ghost Orb Of Night (2021) smells like creamy cherry almond cake with warm spice; mandarin orange, almond and black cherry lead the opening and sandalwood, ambergris and roasted tonka bean sit underneath. Expect cool sea breeze with pear and soft vanilla musk from Ghost Lunar Goddess (2026), which starts with mandarin orange, pink pear and spindrift and finishes on bourbon vanilla, cashmere and musk.
