The famed brand offers many alternative scents that can be hard to find.
Many of us will be well acquainted with Ghost perfumes. Famed for its iconic bottles and lush scents, the brand has earned its cult-like reputation over the years.
Of course, the particular bottles that come to mind are either the bestselling Deep Night or its Original Fragrance, although there are a few other little known alternatives that can be hard to come by.
One of them is the Whitelight Eau de Toilette, with a 50ml only available to buy from Amazon for £29.30, and budget high street store Savers where it is a touch cheaper for £24.99.
Launched in 2016, this "feminine" perfume boasts notes of fruits and florals, with the beloved firm itself saying that it is was inspired by the moon entering a new phase, creating a scent that was "cool, clear and futuristic."
It opens with top notes of crunchy pear and crisp mandarin, with iced violet, jasmine and rose making up its heart. The scent then finishes on notes of patchouli, powdery vanilla orchid and amber for a "bold, ultra-modern finish."

Anyone who is familiar with Ghost perfumes will instantly recognise the crescent-moon shaped bottle that houses the Whitelight fragrance, with this version boasting an iridescent style finish.
For a similar scent that boasts top fruity notes, we'd suggest checking out the bestselling Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette that opens with apples, apricot and mandarin, with Superdrug stocking a 100ml bottle for £26.
Perfume fans who'd prefer something that is more of a woody, amber based scent, might be more keen on the MUGLER Alien Goddess, with a 60ml now on offer for half-price at Boots for £48.50.
Despite the Whitelight Eau de Toilette being a less common scent for Ghost, it's still a winner for many beauty fans, as it averages an impressive 4.8 rating on Amazon for its "long-lasting" and "summery" aroma.

One five-star review read: "This Ghost perfume (the white one is currently the cheapest on Amazon) is absolutely lovely! It has a soft, sweet, fruity-floral scent with hints of peach and vanilla that isn't overpowering but still lingers all day, especially on clothes.
"I was pleasantly surprised by how long-lasting it is for the price, and it smells far more expensive than it actually costs. Perfect for everyday wear or as a gift – great value and definitely recommend."
Beauty deal of the week
YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price.
The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.
Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price.
This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.
However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity."
Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.
As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn.
One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115.
A second shopper said: "I love all the Ghost perfumes but this has become my favourite. It's light and summery, not overpowering in the least and it lingers."
Someone else added: "Love the smell, lasts long. Do not regret buying it. It is very feminine. Compare to other ghost perfumes it is sweeter and softer would recommend for younger ladies."
There was one review that criticised longevity, reading: "The bottle is lovely but the scent is practically non existent. Not impressed at all I'm afraid."
Although, someone else who didn't have this issue wrote: "I love Ghost perfume. I didn't know about this one. I sprayed some on my wrist, and I can still smell it 2 hours later. It's a nice clean fresh smell. I love it and would highly recommend."
