Ghost Myst (1995)
by Coty

Nothing special. I would never wear it out on a date; maybe in a job setting where I didn't want to attract any attention. It also has a hint of what reminds me of a new car smell (this is not a good thing - it would probably make me feel a little car-sick driving in the summer heat).

This is the first Xmas present I ever bought for my mother and I loved the smell of it and so did she it's very light and never overpowering. I can see how some people could be put off by this one as it smells like a lot of other perfumes out there but its relativly cheap and nice. Nothing special just a nice everyday perfume. Give it a try it may surprise you!

Coty does some great, great stuff in the fragrance field, and also some not so great stuff; Ghost Myst is one of those not-so-great ones. I think the thing that rankles me the most about this fragrance is the misleading name. Ghost Myst is neither ghostly, as in ethereal and soft and shape-shifting, or misty, as in ethereal and soft and, well, hazy. Whether intended or not, what Ghost Myst smells like to me is a knock-off of Estee Lauder Pleasures. (They both did launch in 1995, and I know that Pleasures came out in late winter-early spring because I clearly recall wearing it then, so I suspect that Ghost Myst floated along somewhere later that year - probably as a holiday season launch.) Mainly a watery floral with a dash of fruit and some sandalwood, Ghost Myst suffers from that same case of sour/musty-itis that has always made another Coty scent, Exclamation, so very unpleasant to me. They share some common ground; Ghost Myst is marginally better than good old "Ex," but not by a wide margin!

It's the scent that's not a scent. Very light and airy. Pretty generic.
