Ghost Man is an oriental aromatic fragrance for men. It lacks the subtlety of nuances that womens fragrances possess, and I am unable to discern any of the individual components that make up the top, heart and base notes. Instead I get a generic scent that is distinguishable only by the overall impression that the notes leave me with.

This is not so much a "hairy-chested" t-shirt and jeans type fragrance, but more of a shirt and tie type scent! It's actually quite refined and it certainly does smell nice on my partner!

On first application it was quite sweet and powdery in a spicy floral way. The dry-down was gorgeous and although it retained its sweetness, the patchouli and sandalwood gave it a delicious male earthy smell.

It does lack a little stamina, but should last most of a working day, but may need a little topping up if the wearer intends to wear it from dawn to dusk and beyond!

Presented in a simple, tall blue rectangular bottle it is more complex and sweet than traditional fougère-style male fragrances, which some women will prefer on a man. I do!
