Patek Maison Luminous Ghost EDP

Description

Luminous Ghost is a soft, glowing musk: bergamot and gardenia on top, apple and vanilla in the middle, clean ambergris and white musk to finish. It comes from Patek Maison's Luminous collection, and the house builds it around a paradox, something that radiates light while staying unseen. Bergamot, coriander and gardenia give a bright, lightly spiced opening, apple and vanilla add a gentle fruity sweetness, and woody notes, ambergris, tonka and white musk leave a smooth, skin-like trace. It is airy and polished rather than heavy.

Scent Character

Translation: apple and vanilla sweetness lead, bergamot keeps it fresh, and a woody musk base gives it structure. Coriander adds the spice and gardenia the floral note.
