Byredo Hand Cream Mojave Ghost

I’ve heard amazing things about the Mojave ghost scent and have been dying to try. Reviews I saw complained about the price for the size of the tube. When I found this on Gilt for a reduced price I figured it was time to try. The scent is really, really wonderful. A good balance of masculine and feminine with some floral notes that aren’t over powering and feels warm, yet clean, yet spicy. It’s very sophisticated but not at all strong. If you like a woodsy scent, you’ll like this, and if you don’t, you also may like it (that’s how light it is). At first application it does feel sticky but continue to rub it in and give it a minute and it will Absorb nicely and feel Really hydrating. Overall the reviews I read are spot on. It is very expensive for the amount you get. ... MoreI’ve heard amazing things about the Mojave ghost scent and have been dying to try.

I think Le Labo’s hand pomade is comparable but better value for the price (I would say their Hinoki scent is stronger but in the same scent family).

Another favourite by Byredo

This is a very luxurious hand cream. It moisturises your hands, and the scent lingers for a lovely while. It's the perfect size to carry around, and it's especially good when travelling on a plane when your skin is parched. I use the Mohave Ghost hair perfume, so this can add an extra layer of scent, which is wonderful. Love !

Hydrating, soothing, and very fragrant.

I've ordered a few Byredo hand creams because I find they're a great inexpensive way to sample this range of fragrances without the big expense of a perfume. And who can't use a hand cream?! This hand cream is quite fragrant and the fragrance lasts a long time. I put it on at night before bed and I still smell it in the morning. The Mojave Ghost scent is a fave of mine because it's somewhere between a fruity and a floral fragrance with a slight hint of musk to blend them both together perfectly. It also crosses the seasonal barriers, making it a good choice for Spring, summer, Autumn or winter. It's an all around great product and if you're thinking of trying a Byredo fragrance, I highly recommend trying it out in a hand cream as it's a real winner!

LUXURIOUS

I wear Byredo's Mojave Ghost perfume on a daily basis. This hand cream is perfect to pop in a handbag when on the go. The cream is rich and emollient, but doesn't leave a sticky residue. The scent is distinctively luxurious. A must-have!

Lovely concept, but very little content

I was so ready to fall in love with this hand cream that I’d practically bought the ring and booked the church before I hit ‘buy’. Everything about the Byredo brand speaks to me, from the minimalistic packaging to the exotic names and descriptions. Tragically this was a romance that wasn’t meant to be. The cream itself has an okay texture and absorbed quickly into my hands. So as a hand cream it pretty much does what it says on the bottle, the problem is the scent. On me it smelt like a bargain brand pharmacy perfume. It was overpoweringly strong and so sweet that I found it cloying and desperately unappealing. I couldn’t detect any delicate woody notes and I certainly didn’t feel as though I was harnessing the soulful beauty of the Mojave Desert.

I couldn’t detect any delicate woody notes and I certainly didn’t feel as though I was harnessing the soulful beauty of the Mojave Desert. This hand cream would be great for those who use the perfume, as the scent is really long lasting...which was rather unfortunate for me. However I think that for a hand cream it’s a wee bit overpriced, apart from the lovely packaging there is nothing particularly special about it.

Obsessed with this scent

I’m a big fan of all things byredo, particularly the Mojave ghost range (I have the perfume and hand wash/lotion set). Thur have cream is absolutely to die for. The scent lends itself so well to a cream - it’s a subtle, yet longlasting gorgeous scent, and the cream itself is deeply moisturising. Would definitely recommend as a little treat :)

Perfume

The hand creams from the brands has a very luxurious nice texture. They feel very moisturizing and leaves a nice protective film on the hands. But I think that the scents are too strong for me, it’s like perfume. I instead dab this on the neck and other places as a light scent/perfume, if you don’t like to use classical perfumes like me (they make me sneeze) it’s a nice way to smell nice without it being overpowering. The packaging is beautiful.

SMELLS GREAT

the cream smells really nice, just like the perfume which is great for layering, however, it appears to pill when you rub it down. It also isn't especially moisturising which is a shame and does leave the hands feeling a bit gritty. More of an additional fragrance additive than a moisturiser.

Soft hands

The Byredo Mojave Ghost Hand Cream smells divine, with a delicate warm woody scent. The lotion is gentle on my very dry, sensitive skin leaving my hands feeling nourished, hydrated, and soft, my skin also appears to be smoother. I will continue to repurchase, and I would highly recommend.

Thick

This hand cream is thick and makes hands feel extremely soft. The hand cream itself goes a long way, not much is needed so lasts a long time. The scent is the main reason as to why I purchased this hand cream, it smells fresh and makes me feel so clean! can't wait for the summer to use this fragrance more.
