The review
On paper, Musky Violet is a reasonable bet if you want Mojave Ghost for less.
Dossier sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mojave Ghost's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $98 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Mojave Ghost — the 11th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Dossier publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on ambrette and nesberry, turns to sandalwood, magnolia and violet, and settles into cedar, chantilly musk and ambergris. That is the brief Musky Violet is working from.
Top
- ambrette
- nesberry
Heart
- sandalwood
- magnolia
- violet
Base
- cedar
- chantilly musk
- ambergris
For the one who finds beauty in barren places, wrapping soft ambrette, sandalwood and magnolia into a quiet, ghostly desert bloom that lingers.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 19 twins of Byredo Mojave Ghost we can price, Musky Violet is number 11 on price per 100ml.
