What does The Ghost in the Shell smell like?

It leans towards daily wear and leisure time. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn next and winter trailing behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters call its character modern and feminine more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

It opens with yuzu, Aqual™ and hexyl acetate, a bright, juicy citrus start. The heart brings jasmine absolute, Mugane™ and a sensual skin accord, adding a soft floral, powdery and creamy touch. The base of moss, Orcanox and vinylguaiacol dries this clean feel down into a synthetic, skin-like finish.
