Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Guava
Guava, a fruit native to Central America but now cultivated worldwide, brings a vibrant mix of sweetness and acidity to perfumery. Its essence is reminiscent of ripe, juicy flesh with hints of green leaves and a touch of tartness, evoking sunlit orchards and warm, humid climates.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin orange, a close cousin of the sweet orange, exudes a radiant, fresh scent with hints of sweetness and a subtle bitterness. Originating from East Asia, this citrus fruit has long been cherished for its uplifting aroma, which perfumers harness to create lively and engaging fragrances.

Fragrances that pair well with Captivating
Guava Litchi Rose
Guava and litchi meet across the two fragrances, so the fruity core intensifies while Sensual Love's osmanthus, vanilla and moss give the sandalwood base something darker to settle into. Rose and jasmine hold the floral middle steady on both sides of the pairing.
Spray the Ghost fragrance first for the fresh fruity-floral top, then follow with Sensual Love at the chest so the vanilla-moss base extends the wear.
