BYREDO - Mojave Ghost

In the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert, where human vulnerability is tested by harsh conditions, ancient trees and vegetation defy the odds, surpassing the lifespans of civilizations. Among this unforgiving landscape, the ghost flower emerges as a rare and courageous species, blooming against the hardened, sun-baked ground. Devoid of nectar and surrounded by drought, Mohavea confertiflora, also known as the ghost flower, exudes an undying majesty year after year. Remarkably, this resilient bloom employs ingenious mimicry to lure the pollinators of a neighboring plant. By adorning itself with markings resembling a female bee, it entices the unsuspecting males to follow suit, ensuring its survival. This captivating tale of survival and the flower's human-like behavior serve as the inspiration for 'Mojave Ghost,' a fragrant homage to this enchanting blossom.

Mojave Ghost unfurls with a blend of familiarity and intrigue. A fruit note reminiscent of a pear from a distant planet takes the stage, shrouded in an aura of mystery. Languid and almost velvety, ambrette and sandalwood intertwine, elongating and smoothing the slices of fruit like a golden sunset over the desert. Petals of violet and magnolia revel in the waning light, basking in its warmth. As the fragrance evolves, warm woods and ambergris settle onto the skin, lingering for hours, extending the enchantment of a magical twilight in the desert.
