Ghostly Echo: A Sparse Tribute on Paper
FragDNA · compiled from a comparison on paper — the listed notes and prices; nobody has reviewed it yet · 22 October 2026
- Opening
- Violet’s floral sweetness paired with ambrette’s musky warmth hints at a soft, powdery opening.
- Dry-down
- With no deeper accords disclosed, the drydown is likely to remain anchored in the lingering musky‑floral trail of ambrette and violet.
- Best for
- Soft, understated moments
Copycat Fragrances’ Ghost lists just two ingredients—violet and ambrette—mirroring the original’s ambrette and violet components. Priced at $29 per 100 ml, it is dramatically cheaper than Byredo’s Mojave Ghost at $330 for the same volume. The dupe therefore offers a very narrow slice of the original’s aromatic profile.
The original adds nesberry, sandalwood, magnolia, cedar, chantilly musk and ambergris, which together create a richer, more complex dry‑down. With those accords absent, Ghost’s projected character will likely remain confined to the soft floral‑musky duo it lists. No wearer reviews exist yet, so the practical performance of this pared‑down version remains unverified.
The verdictOn paper, Ghost provides a very limited reinterpretation of Mojave Ghost, retaining only its ambrette and violet facets at a fraction of the cost. Buyers should be aware that the majority of the original’s character—nesberry, sandalwood, magnolia, cedar, chantilly musk and ambergris—is absent.

On paper
Strong contender. That is where Ghost lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Mojave Ghost.
Copycat Fragrances describes it with violet and ambrette — a different vocabulary from Mojave Ghost's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
At $29 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Mojave Ghost — the cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
