Editorial notes

01
A soft sandalwood with magnolia named after the Ghost Flower, a desert bloom that survives in the Mojave by mimicking other flowers to attract pollinators despite having no nectar.
02
Ben Gorham briefed Epinette to evoke the survival of fragile beauty in arid conditions. The composition is deliberately diffuse and powdery, with no sharp peaks.
03
Frequently cited as Byredo's most universally flattering fragrance and the safe blind buy of the house's catalogue for newcomers.
04
Composed by Jérôme Epinette in 2014 around ambrette, Jamaican nesberry and magnolia over a sandalwood-violet-Moroccan rose heart with a chantilly musk-amber-cedarwood base.
