The Ghost

[ShadowEtienne]

A thin, sinuous, creeping chill, the scent of glee-filled undeath: white iris, osmanthus, Calla lily, tomb-crawling ivy and a coffin spray of gladiolus, lisianthus and delphinium.

 

This smells like a flower garden in bloom on an early morning in the fog. The cala lily and gladiolus are the most distinct floral notes for me, which is delightful because I love both. I can definitely get the iris and delphinium floating just beneath them. It's a light and airy and quietly peaceful sort of smell, and very much in my wheelhouse.

 

I got this imp from a friend, and it's definitely something I would consider a full bottle of.

As white florals go, well rounded. The ivy note is probably my favorite part of this scent as it provides a greenness that keeps it from being cloying. I can see this being a solid representative in a "Your First White Florals" sample pack.

This is a pale, cool, clean white floral, predominantly calla lily and ivy on me with a soft backbone of iris. It has a clean, inedible fruitiness which I think comes from the calla lily, though I am not very familiar yet with gladiolus and delphinium as notes - it does smell the way I would imagine gladioli to smell! I definitely get the green of the ivy, and an image of flowers in a graveyard ringed by vines.

 

I don't know if this blend would give me that spectral image without the association of the name, though - on its own it's clean unchallenging, slightly chalky, and almost commercial in a way that reminds me of Juliet. I get a little osmanthus (one of my favorite notes), but quite pale and muted, not its usual golden self.

 

This is pleasant, but not a favorite, and I won't need a bottle, though the effect of the ivy with the white florals is interesting enough for me to keep my imp at least for now.
