Which Should You Buy?
A modern classic that balances powdery rose, creamy vanilla, and juicy peach in an ethereal, comforting mist. Ghost is timeless, soothing, and quietly magnetic-never loud, but always memorable.
No. 870 captures the soft rose-and-musk delicacy of the classic Ghost fragrance reasonably well up close, but it's noticeably quieter and shorter-lived than the original's mandarin-peach-sandalwood signature.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The powdery, musky rose and sweet vanilla-peach blend is airy enough for spring and fall but can be cozy in winter. Summer wear is possible if applied lightly, as it may become too sweet in high heat.
Occasions
Its soft, intimate sillage and comforting, powdery character make it ideal for office and casual wear, and it is romantic for dates. It's too understated for very formal events and not fresh enough for sport.
Seasons
The soft rose-musk profile is gentle enough for spring and early autumn wear, without the fruity warmth or projection to make an impression in summer heat or winter cold.
Occasions
Quiet and comfortable enough for the office and daytime casual wear; the romantic rose-musk character also suits a low-key date, but it lacks the presence for formal events.
