Ghost Anticipation

I bought this untested - it had been on my test list for quite some time. Most of the notes listed usually agree with me, and Lily Cole is one of my favorite models, so when I found the gift set cheap online and needed some shopping therapy, I thought "why not?" I'm not even sure what I expected, but never would I have guessed that it would be just the fragrance I had searched for for such a long time! See, this is exactly how I thought Pure Poison would smell on me, before its jasmine overload proved me wrong. And the two actually have a lot of notes in common, so I'm not completely off there. It opens with sparkly, juicy citrus and berries, without a hint of green anywhere. I agree with Lillybee - there can't possibly be any vanilla in here. Instead, it unfolds as a mature, feminine, well-balanced floral, with a seductive, slightly oriental white amber base. Come spring, I'm planning on moving into this fragrance and living there happily ever after.

I forgot just how much I loved this perfume, I am on the hunt to buy some more. Having just squirted the last remnants I am being reminded of why I bought this beautiful perfume. As the first poster said, it is indeed timeless, ageless, well blended and balanced perfume. Perfect for everyday wear and could even layer it with possibly an oriental? perfume for the evening to bring out it's more mature deeper base notes. Having worn the original Ghost religiously in my early twenties, and Ghost cherish being slightly younger one- dimensional citrusy smell, methink it's time to rehash Ghost Anticipation. Definitely smells 'new' all over again.

how could anyone say this is boring? What a beautiful scent, captivating.... reminds me of my favourite.. Dior pure poison there is something aromatic and delicious about this scent... very pretty, long lasting on me and luxurious - you can't go wrong.. I am wearing this on a warm Spring day in London and every time a little breeze blows by I am reminded of how yummy I smell.

Verry lovely fragrance reminds me of Pure Poison but sweeter. Lasting power is good and I find it perfect for summer. If you love orange blossoms and sweet perfumes you might like it, I LOVE it!

It is subtle and fitting a Ghost name. Marked it as love and good for autumn, but I am now in June only liking it but find it fitting a calm evening. I definitely feel the cranberries and woods, something sweet, too. Feminine and delicate. One of my favourites in Ghost collection. My other favs being the classical Ghost by Ghost and Whitelight coming second with Purity on the next place, then this or Sweetheart, next Deep Night but I must say I like this brand and they fit my teenage self esthetic quite well though I made an acquintance with the brand in my twenties. By that I do not mean that their scents are juvenile, they are timeless and the first Ghost was my Mother's favourite and instant love for me. It has similarities to Pure Poison by Dior but the sillage is very close to the skin in Anticipation, I barely feel it today. Just hints of a scent that is so reminding me of Pure Poison that I look back to check who is smelling like it...
