What does Wood Mystique smell like?

It opens with peony, pink pepper and rose, and the heart carries jasmine, ylang-ylang, mimosa and rose. The base is led by leather, oud, raspberry and cedarwood. Spice, powder and resin soften the fruity sweetness as the scent drifts toward something woodier and smokier.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans toward evenings and nights out. More voters call it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine. Montale Aoud Melody and Estēe Lauder Amber Mystique have a close profile.
