Boots has reduced Ghost Orb Of Night Eau de Parfum from £45 to £22 as part of its regularly rotating Star Gifts promotion. The 50ml bottle offers better value than a 30ml size, and the price places it firmly in the affordable category, making it a strong choice for friends and extended family, or as part of a larger gift for someone closer, depending on budget.
Warm, fruity scent with high ratings
The fragrance features notes of dark fruit, jasmine and roasted tonka, creating a sweet, warm yet sophisticated scent. It currently holds a 4.8-star rating on the Boots website, with numerous reviewers noting they either received it as a gift or purchased it for somebody else.
One reviewer said: "Bought this fragrance for my daughter for Christmas, on a recent night out she had multiple compliments and at least two people are intending to purchase some for themselves." Another added: "Received this as a Christmas present and I get compliments every time I'm wearing it. It's really gorgeous."
A third wrote: "Bought as a gift for my mam. Looks and smells amazing. Bought when it was on offer so too good to miss." One five-star review began: "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."
Mixed reviews and other deals
Scent preferences vary greatly, and not everyone will appreciate it. One reviewer described it as 'strong and overpowering', noting: "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."
Being a warm, gourmand fragrance, it suits colder months and into the new year, especially for evenings and nights out, or for those who prefer perfumes with noticeable projection.
Other fragrance deals include Coach Woman Cherry Parfum at £51.20, reduced from £64 at Debenhams, and Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum at £50 for 50ml, down from £108. Jimmy Choo Flash is under £25, reduced from £57 for 60ml. For men, BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette has been cut from £128 to £50 for 200ml, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean Eau de Toilette is £100 from £125 at Debenhams, and Rabanne 1 Million Night Elixir has dropped from £80 to £48 for 50ml.
Tips for buying fragrance gifts
For those buying for someone difficult to shop for, examining what they already own can help identify recurring themes. If bottles feature heavy vanilla notes and sweetness, avoid a crisp citrus scent. If they have multiple woody fragrances, another in that category is likely appreciated. Most similarly-coloured bottles contain comparable notes, so a pale pink bottle likely belongs to the same fragrance family, while a caramel or amber fragrance is probably more gourmand.
