Our verdict: does Musky Violet really dupe Mojave Ghost?

Dossier names Mojave Ghost, and Musky Violet reproduces its ambrette-violet-and-sandalwood softness, that gentle, powdery, modern-minimalist feel. The magnolia floral is quieter, so it is a touch less airy on top. A faithful, low-key read on a scent prized for exactly that restraint.
