Manitou
With Ghostdance, Ikiryo or better Vincent Dreamhouse pays homage to the Native Americans of all America, namely all the Indian tribes of the entire country. It is a tribute to their history and to the very long existence of their existence. With Ghostdance he allows us a glimpse into their world of rituals, ceremonies and customs. Ghostdance takes us on an ethnic journey through the steppes of the country, past red-brown rocks and canyons to buffalo hunting and smoking the peace pipe as well as an Indian wedding. One thing should be said in advance. Ghostdance is a really real scent that seems intriguingly real and will scare some people. Other people like me, he will impress very much, because he is able to turn back the time when the land was still untouched and belonged only to the tribes.

The scent
Ghostdance opens its dance with tobacco notes. A sour and bitter tobacco comes towards you at first contact. Moist and sour with a slightly fermented undertone that lingers for several minutes. Then the tobacco becomes more fruity, as if mixed with berries and left to dry in the sun. This probably refers to blackberries. A bitter-woody, slightly alcoholic freshness pervades the aroma, which can be attributed to whisky. Then the scent begins to smell of damp grasses or hay. A sultry, humid warmth spreads and gives the scent something oppressive and heavy, as if you were standing in a meadow or pasture in very high temperatures, which I attribute to the coumarin. And then Ghostdance suddenly becomes very animalic. Musk and costus make a herd of buffalo appear. It smells like animal-fresh buffalo hide. Heavy, dark and lush. Very, very real and authentic. Once the buffalo hunt is over Ghostdance transforms further. It begins to blend with the animalic undertone into something sweet and creamy. Thoughts of spicy-sweet and hot cocoa do come up, which is probably due to the interplay of sugar,cocoa and tolu balsam. Finally, Ghostdance ends its ceremony with a peace pipe made of a smoky oud accord.

Conclusion
Ghostdance Is an ethnic journey to the Indian tribes of the still untouched America. A wild ride on horseback across the prairie. He takes you on the hunt for buffalo and he sits with you at the fire at an Indian wedding to the spicy-sweet potions are served. You follow him into the tents where tobacco smoke was used to pray to the gods and the smoke of the pipe heralds peace. A fantastic and very impressive scent.

A flight on the back of an eagle to Manitou!
