Dreaming With Ghosts
Fragrance notes
Character
The quince and marigold open with a tart, almost candied pop, like biting into a dusty fruit from an antique bowl. Then the leather arrives, but it is not a biker jacket; it is more a pair of well-worn gloves, softened by peony’s powdery blush. Vetiver and vanilla form a base that is slightly animalic, a warm skin scent that feels intimate rather than loud. The overall character is a séance in a sunlit conservatory, where the ghosts are polite and smell of old leather and floral soap. It feels sweet and fresh with a balsamic undertow, leaning natural but with a synthetic sheen on the peony. This is niche, not mainstream, but approachable. It suits someone who wants a fragrance that stays close, a gentle companion for spring afternoons or cool fall evenings. Those who crave projection or all-day longevity should skip it, because this fades to a whisper within three hours. The numbers confirm the weakness: longevity and sillage are below average, and the scent never truly blooms on skin. It is best worn in spring and fall, mostly during the day. A delicate dream, but perhaps too fleeting to haunt you, until you press your nose to your own wrist and catch its quiet echo.
