What do reviewers say about Spectre Ghost and L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDP?
Spectre Ghost makes vanilla feel modern. There is spiciness in the opening and warmth in the drydown, but it never becomes heavy. The performance is restrained, which is the point rather than a flaw.Spectre Ghost
Piquet has constructed something that rewards patience. The drydown's reward is a beautifully textured warmth from bitter cocoa and an astringent tea note.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDP
