Purity
by Ghost
Purity by Ghost is a light, airy, and softly sweet floral-fruity fragrance with a creamy, powdery drydown. It opens with a fresh, tropical lift of pineapple, mandarin orange, and freesia, evoking a sun-kissed, clean skin impression. The heart reveals a delicate balance of white florals—rose, violet, and a subtle lilac note—combined with a faint, smooth meringue-like sweetness. The base is quiet and skin-friendly, with warm musk and sandalwood lending gentle depth without heaviness. The scent feels ephemeral and delicate, like a soft morning mist or freshly laundered linen. It performs most pleasantly during spring and summer, especially as a casual daytime wear, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity that surprises for a low-priced EDT. The fragrance is universally considered wearable, especially for those seeking a refined, gentle scent without gourmand stickiness or overwhelming sweetness.
