OrientalWhat does Mysteriously No.1 smell like?
The opening leads with mandarin orange, bergamot and apple, while tagetes adds a light floral touch to the citrus freshness. In the heart, rose and jasmine sit alongside vetiver and a spicy thread of cinnamon. The base of musk, vanilla, benzoin and frankincense settles into a powdery, oriental sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Its character reads clearly feminine. Perfumes with a close profile include Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum) and Le Labo Neroli 36 (Eau de Parfum).
