Byredo Parfums Mojave Ghost EDP (Tester)

Description

Byredo Mojave Ghost is one of the house's signature icons, inspired by the rare wildflower that blooms briefly in California's Mojave Desert. Composed by perfumer Jérôme Epinette and released in 2014, it opens with juicy sapodilla and ambrette seed, moves through magnolia and violet, and settles into a soft veil of sandalwood, cedar, and musk: a sun-warmed, close-to-skin floral woody that's become one of Byredo's most reordered scents.

Scent Character

• Woody: 38%
• Floral: 25%
• Musky: 25%
• Fruity: 12%

Translation: a sun-bleached woody floral with a soft fruity-musk hum underneath, rather than a loud statement scent.

FAQ

Is Mojave Ghost a men's or women's fragrance?
It's unisex: Byredo designs it to be worn by anyone.

What does "Tester" mean on this listing?
It's the same Byredo-formulated Eau de Parfum in the full 3.4 oz / 100 ml bottle, typically without retail packaging (a cap is included), offered at a lower price.

How does it compare to Mojave Ghost Absolu?
The Absolu de Parfum concentration builds on the same floral-woody skeleton but with noticeably stronger, longer-lasting sillage. This original EDP is the softer, closer-to-skin version.
