If you've smelled a ghost flower, please share your descriptions of its scent.īyredo Mojave Ghost is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $145/$220 ( truly, aspirational pricing!) For buying information, see the listing for Byredo under Perfume Houses.ġ. If you want to smell a real ghost flower, the blooming season is almost here those of you in California, Nevada and western Arizona are close to the action. Mojave Ghost has so-so sillage and lasting power and, to my nose, is feminine, not unisex. As it dries on skin, Mojave Ghost's fruit notes become overripe, sour (the aroma is like the scent of very tangy peach yogurt) the extreme dry down smells stale. At times, I get hints of cedar and wood shavings (the sandalwood, perhaps), but never do magnolia or violet materialize, only a character-less, artificial "flower" note. These fruit notes are sweet, and soon more sweetness arrives with the scents of vanilla, and vanillic "chantilly" musk and amber. Mojave Ghost opens with a rich and warm fruit accord a combo of mamey and peach. With Mojave Ghost, Byredo has a great name and imagery to draw upon, but has created an insipid fragrance that's more department store than niche. Byredo Mojave Ghost 1 attempts to mimic the scent of an exotic flower's perfume and to attract pollinators (buyers) but it's only partly successful. I’ve been watching the Fragrantica reviews on Byredo Mumbai Noise fall from like 3.9 to 2.53. I imagine a successful desert flower scent would smell fantastic, but wouldn't last too long on skin. There are a couple of perfumes that you sniff, and KNOW most people are going to probably hate it, but you fall in love with it. The desert flowers I've smelled possess a "certain something" I've never encountered in perfumes they have "clear," fresh and clean aromas, with floral and fruity aspects that are hard to describe, let alone duplicate. It's a difficult assignment for a perfumer to mimic the scent of a wild, desert flower. The nectar-less ghost flower ( mohavea confertiflora) that grows in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts has ingenious strategies for attracting pollinators: it mimics the appearance of another desert flower with lots of nectar, and the ghost flower's center markings are shaped like a female bee ( Xeralictus) - here come the male bees to do their work!
