Ghost Captivating is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010. Ghost's Captivating carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent for Ghost, with some finding it a captivating, fresh summer staple and others calling it faint and forgettable. If you love a fruity-floral with a hint of powdery musk, this might be your sunny-day go-to, but don't expect a powerhouse.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate sillage and light, fresh profile make it an excellent choice for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. The subtle nature means it's less suited for formal events or dates that demand more presence, but it's perfect for a daytime summer outing.

About

Captivating opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, quickly joined by the exotic sweetness of guava, offering a tart and tropical start. This juicy prelude transitions into a soft, airy heart where delicate rose, magnolia, and freesia intertwine with powdery iris. The dry down is a gentle, clean musk, underpinned by a whisper of creamy sandalwood, keeping the whole affair light and ethereal.
