Byredo Mojave Ghost

The aroma of Mojave Ghost, originates from the dry wilderness of the Mojave Desert where the trees and vegetation are older than many cultures and defy the conditions that ruin human fragility. The ghost flower is a rare species that dares to bloom on this dry, hard soil. Despite its arid environment and inability to produce nectar, the ghost flower, or Mohavea Confertiflora, retains its perfect majestic beauty and grows stronger year after year. With an astonishing work of ingenuity, this flower uses imitation to attract pollinators to a neighboring species, emitting signals similar to those attracted by a female bee to its target, and misleading the male bee to follow. This moving human-like behavior and fascinating survival story were the inspiration for ‘Mojave Ghost’, a tribute to this enchanting flower.
