About Byredo Mojave Ghost
Mojave Ghost is a unisex woody floral EDP from Byredo, released in 2014 and one of the brand's best-loved releases. Inspired by a ghost flower that blooms in the Mojave Desert without water. The fragrance is clean, slightly woody, and subtly floral — sapodilla and ambrette open it with a fruity-musky warmth, magnolia and violet form a quietly beautiful heart, and ambergris and cedar give it an earthy, skin-close finish.
Sapodilla and ambrette (musk mallow) open together. Sapodilla is a tropical fruit with a slightly sweet, caramel-like quality, and ambrette is a natural musk with a fruity, slightly musky warmth. The opening is soft and slightly unusual.
Magnolia, violet, and sandalwood form the heart. The magnolia is clean and slightly fruity-floral, the violet adds a cool, powdery quality, and the sandalwood gives a smooth, creamy woodiness. Together they create a quietly beautiful middle.
Ambergris, cedar, and musk close the fragrance. The ambergris is warm and skin-like, the cedar is clean and slightly spicy, and the musk keeps everything close to skin.
Good year-round. One of Byredo's most universally flattering and wearable releases.
