About Tanya Sarne Ghost EDT
Tanya Sarne is the house behind Ghost EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Ghost for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Givenchy Amarige is a lighter match.
Is Ghost long lasting?
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds & Rubies and Slava Zaitsev Maroussia last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best seasons to wear it

Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds & Rubies and Slava Zaitsev Maroussia spread further.
Who will like it
