Ghost Myst

This is probably the only vintage perfume from my "Had" shelf that I'll ever review here, since it's the one I bonded with the most. This was one of the first perfumes I purchased myself as a young adult, when most of the ones in my life prior to that had been gifts from relatives, or hand-me-downs from my mother. In fact, this was my first real signature scent, the first that I consciously thought of that way, & I wore it fairly exclusively for several years, abandoning it only when my new kitten showed an aversion to it. I consider this scent to be the true beginning of my perfume journey (which ended up getting put on hold for the next 16 years because that kitten grew up to be a cat who hated pretty much *all* perfume, so I simply didn't wear any. He was worth it!) I have no idea when Ghost Myst was discontinued, but it seems like a lot of people remember it very fondly. I recall a sweet, fresh aquatic floral that seemed perfect for just about any occasion. I remember being drawn to it because it reminded me of Lagerfeld's Sun Moon Stars, which I'd liked a lot but which didn't fit my budget. Having just sampled Issey Miyake's L'eau d'Issey this evening, I think that smells similar to what I remember Ghost Myst being like, too. I know there are vintage bottles available out there, but as much as I loved this fragrance, it belongs too much to my past for me to want to revisit it now; I'd rather keep it in my memory.

This is one of the perfumes I wore in Junior High & High School, it was definitely my signature perfume at the time which was like 97-98ish time frame, and ever since I will randomly go on eBay and buy some but I haven’t bought it in several years so I found it recently on eBay for a great price and yay it arrived today. It smells just like I remember it ❤️ it’s such a girly, lovely floral aquatic with a slight powdery smell as well. I absolutely love this, if you enjoy floral aquatics-want to reminisce about the 90s this is a good buy lol it’s not something I will wear out very often but I will absolutely be loving this at home lots :)

I refused to smell La Vie est Belle forever... Until today. It's been sitting on my dresser unopened. I sprayed it on my wrist and let it dry and I was immediately transported back to being a young girl and smelling Ghost Myst. It was one of the first perfumes I ever purchased myself. I was five when it came out, so I mean very young. How strange is the intensity of olfactory induced memories? The notes are very different so I'm not sure why it's doing this to me but yes, I'm smelling Ghost Myst in LVB...

This perfume is yet another classic, timeless, and no pun intended, HAUNTING fragrance!! I can just close my eyes and smell this exactly as it smelled when sprayed/worn. I can't even tell you how WONDERFUL Ghost Myst is. This is definitely appropriate for all ages, light enough for a young girl, sexy enough for all of us over 21!! It won't chase your man away either :) Don't spray directly on yourself for a sexy night with your man, simply spray in your lingerie drawer and VOILA! Instant romance!!

Oh wow, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this perfume yet....I'm going to have to copy manda a little bit here saying that this was also my signature fragrance from the ages of 14-16. I don't really know how to describe Ghost Myst other than it doesn't smell fruity or sweet, nor does it smell like an "old lady perfume"...all I know is at the time when I wore GM I couldn't get enough of the scent. I saw a few bottles on ebay and I just might buy it again very soon :)
