Mojave Ghost Byredo

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on sapodilla and ambrette (musk mallow), moves through magnolia, violet and sandalwood, and settles on ambergris, cedar and musk.

• ambrette (musk mallow): a plant-derived musk: soft, warm, slightly pear-like. The botanical answer to animal musk
• magnolia: creamy lemony flower, fresh with a soapy edge

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
