The Ghost in the Shell
The Ghost in the Shell by Etat Libre d'Orange is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with watery notes, yuzu and pear, moves into jasmine and skin musk and dries down to oakmoss, smoke and orcanox. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Skin Musk Warm and intimate. Sits close and reads as 'your skin, amplified'.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Orcanox A modern ambergris molecule. Salty, woody and very long-lasting on skin.
