About
Mojave Ghost Absolu by Byredo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Mojave Ghost Absolu was launched in 2024. Top notes are Sapodilla and Ambrette; middle notes are Magnolia, Violet and Sandalwood; base notes are Musk, Amber and Cedarwood. Sandalwood, familiar ingredients are extracted in a higher concentration to create a longer-lasting scent with profound depths. The celebration of artisanship is visualised through a new perfume bottle which features a striking textural cap, inspired by traditional woodwork. Opening to reveal an atomizer spray engineered with more industrial leanings, considered juxtapositions craft a study in contrasts – a rarefied reinterpretation that stays true to the original signature.

About
Ciel Magnolia by Kenzo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Ciel Magnolia was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top note is Magnolia; middle note is Musk; base note is Sandalwood. "The memory of Ciel Magnolia Eau de Parfum, for women and men, lies in the garden, behind the shoji doors. The tree floods the sky with its pink petals. Soft as the silk of a kimono, the wind releases the scent of the musky magnolia. An unforgettable sight, the starting point of The Kenzo Memori Collection."Perfumer Quentin Bisch explains:"I was inspired by an encounter with a forest of magnolia trees in bloom. The beauty of a radiant sunny day: the pink and white petals contrast with a clear blue sky, while being framed by the woody richness of vast branches full of blooming flowers."Available as a 75 ml Eau de Parfum.
