What does Bois Mystique (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
The top notes of pink pepper, bergamot, cardamom and ginger set up a sharp, fresh spice. In the heart, cinnamon and frankincense add a resinous warmth, while myrrh, cedarwood and amber build a woody, earthy base. The overall impression is green and spicy, slightly sweet.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend autumn, followed by spring, and leisure and office wear lead the occasions. It reads masculine and classic. Andrea Maack Birch and Creed Royal Oud have a close profile.
