It really is buttery yet aquatic, sweet, light and airy. It’s not like anything else I’ve smelled! I like it.

My review is for the perfume spray. Very ghostly and ethereal, whispy sweet and slightly salty. Kinda reminds me of salt water taffy. A sweet/feminine gourmand amber and a refreshing alternative to the heavy resinous amber oils I have tried before. I could easily wear Ghost Fire every day without getting sick of it. A dreamy comfort scent. The silage is amazing. Love it!

Stunningly beautiful white amber, overlaid with fresh, airy, almost aquatic elements.
I only have the ultime version and the sillage and longevity are perfect – very long-lasting and noticeable without being intrusive.
If you like Kuumba Made musks and ambers (esp. Persian Garden) or Auric Blends Love/Chinese Rain/Egyptian Goddess, then you should try this. However, it’s one on its own and truly unique. Pretty hard to pin down and describe.

To me, this smells like baklava, but a light, airy version of baklava. It’s a little nutty, a little honeyed, and when you smell up close, it’s slightly waxy. It doesn’t bother my nose at all even though it has excellent projection and lasting power. I can see why so many people like it. I was afraid that it would go aquatic at me, but I don’t get that vibe at all. I love the sillage cloud of it…very pleasant scent! I might end up buying a bottle one day.

On me this is a sweet, sugary amber. Kind of reminds me of hard candy, or unflavored rock candy. It’s a really pleasant, inoffensive scent that I choose pretty often for work. It is great for layering with other scents, especially woody fragrances.

I agree with HeidiLynn–yes, it does smell aquatic to me too! Aquatic with some sort of sugary butter mixed in. Not bad, but it’s not what I was expecting!
Edit: My husband just gave me a hug and said I smell like coconut. So that’s another thing that seems to be in the mix, and I can see where he’s coming from.

Alkemia has a lot of very affordable and great quality perfume oils, and oh boy are they versatile! Ghost Fire and Foxfire are great by themselves, but are absolutely amazing at giving new twists and facets to other perfumes. I am currently wearing Ghost Fire with Maria Candida Gentile’s Sideris, and last weekend wore it with L’Agent by Agent Provocateur and got complimented.
I wholeheartedly recommend this indie wonder, and sampling is very cheap as long as you’re willing to risk paying some customs here in Europe 😀

This perfume is pretty and soft. It reminds me a lot of Bath & Body Work’s Brown Sugar & Fig. I applied this at least twice before I realized this is what I smelled! I knew if reminded me of something….It is a nice, feminine scent.

I must admit, I don’t quite get what the others are talking about when they describe it as potent; maybe I’ll use the fixative next time, and apply more. This is a lesson in not judging scent before putting it on skin. In the vial, it was so, so sugary, I almost wanted to gag. On my skin is where the magic begins.
When I first put it on, it smelled almost sweet-buttery, and oddly familiar, like I’d smelt it somewhere before. Like something was being wrapped in crystalline sugar. As the scent began to settle, it was like layers of crystalline sugar were being peeled back to reveal transparent stone or something. White amber, I think it was called; it certainly fits the name. It’s really beautifully delicate, neither warm nor cool, or maybe both. The sweetness is mild and just right. It appears bland at first sniff, but turns out to be feminine and unique. Someone above said it was sorrowful. Maybe? But to me it’s more.. stoic than anything. Like a Samurai maiden clothed in white, benign but with a hidden backbone of steel, silent but not a wallflower, and sort of distant, but not purposefully so. You never really know her, but what you know of her, you like. Kind of like.. Kanna from Inuyasha, or your typical kuudere. I just find it easier to describe it in terms of personality.
Now, I catch whiffs of it every now and then, yet if I sniff my wrist for more than 4 seconds, I can’t smell anything. Truly, ‘ghost fire’ is the right name for it.
I’m still not sure if it’ll be FBW for me. I’ll come and edit this when I’ve made up my mind.

Ghost Fire makes me think of a gooey pile of wet sugar. It’s extremely sweet and simple on me: sugar and white amber, a hint of vanilla. This isn’t a knock at all; it’s a nice whimsical fragrance that I just wouldn’t want wear to the office. The longevity is impressive.

This was unexpectedly aquatic to my nose, an ethereal water-lily scent that also had me double sniffing as I swore I caught a vaguely pineapple ish note! I smelled a faint white smokiness, like woodsmoke from far away through damp, foggy air. There was a strange, haunted quality to this scent for me– almost sorrowful. Much later, I thought I smelled a crisp, white fleshed Asian pear. So I dunno what’s wrong with my nose but this is not what I expected. I expected a labdanum-style Amber, stony and incesey. I think I will let this rest a bit more as it was interesting and long lasting; I could still catch whiffs of it after 10 hours.

White Amber straight up, no ice.

When I first smelled this it was instantly a double sniff. If this was a sexy woman I would be that man who walks straight into a wall completely mesmerized. I’m a straight woman, so that’s saying something!
No way is this JUST amber. Ultra feminine and wonderful. Smells effortlessly sexy. I agree that it smells “breezy”. I also smell sunshine- can sunshine even be a note? Fresh yet slightly musky.
Lasts 13 hours on my skin. Anyone who likes sweet amber must try this amazing juice!
Update: Foxfire and Ghost Fire are siblings. I feel that Foxfire is sweeter and more floral and Ghost Fire is creamier and more sensual. Both dear to my heart. Both absolutely delicious.

I find Ghost Fire to be quite potent, which is great since it is an easy-to-love scent for just about everyone. The simplest description- amber, sugary notes, and vanilla- does not give this scent justice. GF is both warm and cool, and has a nearly “breezy” feeling to it. Honestly, it’s just something you would need to experience in person. Amazingly ethereal! It feels like being swaddled in cashmere.
