Byredo Mojave Ghost

The Mojave Desert, a vast expanse in the western United States, impresses with its climatic extremes and a remarkably resilient plant life. The Ghost Flower, which blooms anew each year in this inhospitable environment, is a rare plant species whose pale, almost translucent petals give the plant a delicate and fragile appearance, while this astonishing specimen thrives where one would least expect life. Despite the barren surroundings in which it flourishes and the fact that it produces no nectar, the Ghost Flower, or Mohavea confertiflora, maintains its perfect, majestic beauty. The flower employs remarkable mimicry to deceive pollinators. Resembling a neighboring plant species that female bees are fond of visiting, the Ghost Flower attracts male bees and allows them to pollinate it. This touching, human-like behavior and the fascinating story of its survival inspire Mojave Ghost, Byredo's latest perfume, a tribute to this absolutely enchanting flower. It is a woody composition with a delicate, graceful character, whose true intensity unfolds slowly. The heavy top notes of musky Indian hibiscus are combined with sweet, refreshing Jamaican nettle. Initially, a soft, powdery violet scent emerges, transitioning into the pleasant, long-lasting aroma of sandalwood, brightened by fresh magnolia. Finally, a warm note of Chantilly musk rounds off the base note of zesty amber and elegant cedarwood, leaving a veil of Mojave Ghost. Top notes: Indian hibiscus, Jamaican nettle. Heart notes: violet, sandalwood, magnolia. Base notes: Chantilly musk, amber, cedarwood.
