Spiritless For Women

Spiritless opens on a gentle, peachy-rosy warmth - ambrette seeds lend a soft, almost musky-fruity glow alongside a powdery rose, echoing the understated entrance of Ghost. The heart blooms into a creamy floral of jasmine, hibiscus and a juicy apricot that gives the scent its Turkish-delight sweetness without ever turning sickly. The base is a soft, cosy blend of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber, with a whisper of incense for shadow. Against the original, this Perfume Parlour version captures the balanced powdery woody-floral signature faithfully but pushes the apricot-vanilla sweetness slightly higher and renders the creamy sandalwood drydown a shade lighter, with shorter longevity and softer projection. A pretty, comforting everyday floral that nails the well-loved Ghost feel at a budget price.
