A former Boots perfume counter worker has named Ghost Orb Of Night Eau de Parfum, reduced from £45 to £22 for a 50ml bottle, as a 10/10 Christmas gift. The fragrance, currently rated 4.8 stars on the Boots website, has a habit of earning wearers compliments, according to shoppers.
Why the Ghost Orb Of Night is a gift-worthy pick
The 50ml bottle feels substantial compared to a 30ml, while the £22 price point places it firmly in the budget-friendly category, making it ideal for friends and extended family, or closer relatives as part of a larger gift, depending on your budget.
The rich scent boasts notes of dark fruit, jasmine and roasted tonka for a sweet, warm but elegant fragrance. One reviewer said: “Received this as a Christmas present and I get compliments every time I'm wearing it. It's really gorgeous.” Another wrote: “Bought as a gift for my mam. Looks and smells amazing. Bought when it was on offer so too good to miss.”
What shoppers say about the scent
Fragrance is deeply personal, and one reviewer described it as 'strong and overpowering'. They added: “Opening is pleasant, a warm caramel almond cherry, but very quickly settles into a strong peppery note on my skin which is a little strong and overwhelming. I'd have preferred a sweeter or woodier dry down. Not one I'd repurchase.”
Another five-star review said: “I love this smell. I'd initially bought it as a gift for my mom but ended up wearing it all the time myself. It's rich, mysterious and almost fruity. 10/10.”
Other fragrance deals at Boots and Debenhams
Being quite a cosy, gourmand scent, this is a fragrance that lends itself well to the wintery months and into the new year. It works particularly well for evenings, nights out and anyone who likes their fragrance to leave a bit of a trail rather than skin-like, clean fragrances.
