Ghost Ghost Man is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Pierre Bourdon. Ghost Man opens with Anise, Bergamot, Clove, and Mint, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Ghost's Ghost Man carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Ghost Man is a divisive, discontinued gem. Fans adore its unique, sweet, anise-forward profile, while others find it too similar to Le Male, if a little softer and more refined. If you can find a bottle, snap it up.

Composition

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.

Best For:
Date Casual

With its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Ghost Man is best suited for evenings and intimate settings like a date. While versatile enough for casual wear, its sweetness and projection might be too much for an office or formal environment, and definitely not for sport.

About

Ghost Man opens with an intriguing, aromatic burst of spicy anise and clove, softened by a hint of fresh bergamot and a whisper of mint. The heart blossoms with a surprisingly delicate floral bouquet of orange blossom, rose, and lily of the valley, preventing the scent from becoming overly heavy. It settles into a warm, creamy base of sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and sweet tonka bean, leaving a comforting, sensual trail.
