Composition of the fragrance:

The Ghost in the Shell opens with the invigorating sparkle of aqual™, a cool, refreshing marine essence, and yuzu HE, a crisp, citrus zing, layered over the delicate green burst of hexyl acetate. Its heart unfolds with jasmine absolute, a lush floral richness, paired with mugane™, a modern twist on classic freshness, and milky skin accord, a comforting, creamy softness. At its base, moss accord, grounding and earthy, melds with vinyl guaiacol, an intriguing, smoky nuance, and orcanox™, a synthetic warmth with hints of amber and musk, anchoring the fragrance with depth and warmth.
