As I am very new to detecting notes in perfume, the only thing I can think of when I smell this is Shalimar (and I'm glad to know I am not the only one that thinks this). I figured with a name like "haunted" it would be dark and sultry, it does go on very spicy but I can't get over the dry down. If you like Shalimar get this oil, you'll appreciate it. While I don't care for this scent, I do want to say how much it speaks for Beth's ability to blend sophisticated smells, and Shalimar is a classic!
