What does Mysteriously No.2 smell like?

It has good longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It suits leisure, evenings and daily wear, and it also works in an office. Most voters read it as feminine.

Clove, cinnamon and bergamot open it with a spicy warmth. In the heart, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and heliotrope form a floral body, with sandalwood adding a woody base. Vanilla, musk and tonka bean sweeten the dry-down and close it in a soft, powdery finish.
