Ghost Dream

On initial application I can detect heliotrope and rose quite prominently with a salty aquatic note in the background which if I had to guess was a combo of ambroxan and the "water note". The fragrance is very pretty and non offensive so it would take a lot to hate this one. After a few minutes the orange blossom and violet come out to play with a quite light and soapy jasmine. The heliotrope is still the most obvious note I can detect. It has taken me a while to figure out where I have smelt something like this before and it is Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream! Ghost Dream is slightly lighter and more aquatic but same ball park hence the name no doubt.

Opens like a fresh fruity floral, but quickly the patchouli base takes over, and the fragrance transforms into a beautiful patchouli-heliotrope. The touch of salt, violet, musk and damp earthy patchouli makes it rather cold, while still being fluffy and cuddly from the heliotrope and rose. Pretty unusual. This is the only fragrance that reminds me somewhat of the rare Ange ou Démon Tendre. Angelic, ethereal beauty.

Just got this for a great price.Absolutely love it, true it doesn't stomp any new ground but each ingredient melds together to create a beautiful rose,patchouli and creamy woods combo.Best I've smelt from Ghost by far ❤️

There is something really ethereal about this one It reminds me of Nosferatu because of the violet and aqua note, but it is more wearable. It is fresh and wet and floral but in a magical way.

Got this as a blind buy just yesterday from Boots in the UK. I never hesitate buying Ghost fragrances, the only disaster I had was Captivating, but perhaps that bottle had gone off as to me it smelt like cat pee! Strange though, it wasn't old. ANYWAY!! I really like Ghost fragrances, they are for the most part all very wearable and inoffensive, although longevity is always on the poor side and sillage is next to nothing. What can I say, I'm hooked for reasons I can't explain! I was really looking forward to this one, wasn't really sure what to expect, but the bottle sucked me in! On initial spray I found it very chemically and to be honest, none too pleasant. Then the rose started to come through as the prominent smell and it really reminded me of Gaultier Madame EDP (black box) which to be honest, I don't like. Hope was fading fast. Then it changed again, this time to what reminded me of Glade Touch n Fresh bathroom air freshener in Clean Linen! Next incarnation was fabric softener - I can't be more specific on this one with an actual brand of softener or an exact scent, but I was left thinking of a pile of towels that had just come out of the tumbler dryer when they have what I can only describe as a warm, fluffy smell. Does that make sense? I hope so. I kept sniffing and sniffing at my arm - it was reminding me of something else, a kind of combination of all these things, of an older perfume from my past. What was it?? And then I remembered - Avon Stonewashed Blue! Many of you will likely not even remember it, it isn't even on the Fragrantica database. But I assure you, it DID exist! Avon did this whole range of what they called Comfort Scents, and Stonewashed Blue was a reminder of the days when you slipped on your favourite pair of jeans and just felt relaxed and at home. And it came flooding back to me, how even back then, I thought Stonewashed Blue smelt of fabric conditioner and fluffy towels, just like I get from this! And in that moment, I felt happy. It was like meeting up with an old friend who you haven't seen for ages, you both look a little different, but the relationship you always had is still there. You hug each other, and know that despite changes over the years, you're with somebody you can relax and be yourself with - THIS is what I get from Dream! A familiarity of times past, a hug, a fluffy jumper keeping you warm on a cold day, a happy, dream like smell, a pile of fresh towels to snuggle up in when you've just got out of the bath, it's quite lovely, albeit in a fabric conditioner kind of way! For me, it isn't ground breaking, neither is it stunning. It's just a very pretty, cuddly perfume that makes me smile. I used to love Stonewashed Blue, and now, I almost have it back thanks to Ghost. It's not identical, but it's close enough, I'll take it! :)
