What does Mysterious Shadow smell like?
Voters rate both its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so that reading is tentative. With no season or occasion votes, it is hard to say when it suits best, but its dense, characterful build works on both men and women.
It opens with cinnamon, cumin, pink pepper and clove, a warm, sharp layer of spice. In the heart, nutmeg, osmanthus, iris and davana add a floral softness. The base of cedarwood, vetiver, styrax and patchouli settles it onto a woody, resinous ground. Esteban Cuir and Moresque Scirocco have a close profile.
