What does The Mysterious Garden smell like?

It opens with fruity and sweet notes alongside cinnamon, saffron and cardamom. In the heart, rose and iris rest on cedarwood, sandalwood and creamy notes. The base of musk, tonka bean and vanilla softens and sweetens the whole.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, while summer comes last. It suits leisure time, evenings and nights out better than the office. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it reads as open to both. Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Blue Musk / Velvet Oriental Musk and Widian Black IV have a close profile.
