Luminous Ghost

I have a few dupes and inspired scents including some Armafs and Lattafas. I enjoy them and they are certainly a great value. I will begin by saying this is definitely a few steps above those. I got this because I heard it was a dupe of Lafayette Street, which I love. The price of this currently is quite high for an inspired fragrance but it is impressively a much better fragrance than what it is recreating; not just a cost effective alternative. The sillage is much more intense than Lafayette st. This will genuinely fill a room with only a few sprays. The scent itself is also richer than Lafayette st. Lafayette street seems a bit two dimensional in comparison when each fragrance is sprayed on separate arms. I have received compliments and comments about this fragrance including three times in one day - and it wasn't a day I was around a lot of people. I wear fragrance everyday and sometimes get no comments or compliments about it for several days at a time. This fragrance has been taking Lafayette St's place in my rotation and as I consolidate my collection in prep to move, I think I will keep this over the Bond if I have to choose.

Fruity floral musk with faint citrus undertones and some smooth wood/benzoin on the dry down. Fresh, effervescent, with an almost sparkling quality. Smells 95% similar to Nikos Sculpture but I like this one much more as it is smoother especially in the dry down. The white florals are heavy up front but fade after a few minutes. Slightly masculine leaning. 3 seasons day or night. Performance is average right now but I expect that to improve with maceration. I like it! **Edit:** Been wearing this one for a few days and it has become a signature scent. Smells fantastic and unique. absolutely love it. My only gripe is performance, which is average for the EDP. I would opt for the Extrait.

I am thrilled to see that the only comment here has equated this fragrance to Lafayette St!! I ordered this fragrance for that exact reason because my other Lafayette St dupe, Game of Spades Wildcard was nowhere to be found. And now that it's available again, I have Luminous Ghost so I don't really need 🃏 anymore 🤘

A great scent for anyone and any weather honestly, we sell out THE DAY it comes back. This is a crazy good bond 9 Lafayette street dupe btw, I’m real weird about calling a dupe good but genuinely no notes.

This is a rich elegant scent that lasts long and radiates, it kinda has a musky cloud type of vibe

Love it. So much better than game of spades wildcard and I thought that was as best as it gets.

As elegant as the bottle and box it came out of! Super musky, animalic, soapy, and floral. Like you can definitely smell the gardenia, but it's not crazy sweet. I've never tried Lafayette Street or Game of Spades so I couldn't tell you the differences. To me, it's a rich, powdery, middle eastern cloud of floral musk. Fancy laundry detergent for an Arabian sheik. Something unique for the Sping, and Fall seasons. (I have the Extrait de Parfum btw)

I got a sample of this guy and it is good. It’s not great. The opening is very nice and the dry down is soapy and clean. However on my skin it didn’t last more than 4hrs. By lunch it was gone. On my clothes it was barely noticeable. I work in an office. I cannot recommend this due to its poor longevity and high price point.

It is pretty versatile fragrance. I am wearing the Extrait version currently and just applied maybe 5 minutes ago on my arm. It is very musky and seems potent off the rip. Not sure on the dry down but the musky powderiness and soapiness is pretty strong on initial spray. The floral notes start to push through as well making it even more on the meh side for my personal taste. It is just "okay" to me. Not something I want to smell like all day long personally.

This did nothing for me. It wasn't terrible but I was reminded of an air freshener and I just couldn't unsmell it that was the overall vibe I was left with. Can't love em all

Get the Bharara Onyx instead, much better scent, overall closer to B9 Lafayette St. at cheaper price. Also stays much longer than Ghost.

Reminds me of Nikos Sculpture Parfum but amped up just a tad and a little more florals.
