The composition was inspired by the personal philosophy of the French theologian and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who passed away in 1955 but left behind a rich legacy. The fragrance was developed using natural and high-quality synthetic ingredients. As a result, a distinctive perfume emerged, recognized for unveiling the phenomenon and evolution of humankind. This complex story was further enriched by contributions from the author of the Japanese manga – Masamune Shirow, leading to a bold, daring, and slightly madcap perfume.

Aqual – an aquatic aldehyde;
Hexyl Acetate – a fragrant substance with a pronounced fruity aroma;
Mugane – a molecule to enhance the sound of white flowers (in this case, jasmine);
Ambroxan – one of the most expensive synthetic components, known for its special sensual scent;
Vinyl Guaiacol – endows the composition with vanilla, clove, sweet, balsamic, smoky, spicy, powdery aromas.

The fusion of natural and synthetic ingredients has resulted in an incredibly individual and original composition, striking in its complexity and a certain understatement. The Ghost in the Shell is a fragrance with a molecular perfumery future, mixed with the past.
