A divisive upgrade to a beloved classic. Mojave Ghost Absolu promises more depth and longevity, and for some, it delivers a richer, fruitier experience. For others, it loses the original's ethereal charm, becoming too syrupy or, tragically, a Ghost of its former self in performance.

Mojave Phantom Absolu is Perfume Parlour's dupe of Byredo's Mojave Ghost Absolu, matching its ambrette-magnolia-sandalwood-musk signature closely. It captures the airy, dry-down 'ghost' quality that made the original a cult favourite reasonably well, though it settles into a simpler, less nuanced musk than Byredo's naturals-forward original.
