Description

Mojave Ghost Absolu de Parfum by Byredo offers a richer, more intense interpretation of the beloved original, distilling its iconic notes into a pure essence with remarkable depth and longevity. This fragrance opens with the distinctive sweetness of Sapodilla, often referred to as Jamaican Nesberry, paired with the subtle warmth of Ambrette. As it develops, a beautiful floral heart emerges, showcasing creamy Magnolia, delicate Violet, and smooth Sandalwood. The scent then settles into a grounding base of Musk, Cedarwood, and Amber, creating a lasting woody and musky trail that feels both ethereal and profound. The presentation is elevated with a new bottle design featuring a textural cap, inspired by traditional woodwork, reflecting the artisanal craftsmanship within.
