What does Mysteriously No.3 smell like?

It opens with frankincense, green grapefruit and elemi resin, which give it a cool, resinous feel. In the heart, sandalwood, moss and cedarwood set a woody, slightly smoky ground, while tonka bean, musk and vanilla bring sweetness and a powdery softness to the base.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it is worn mostly for leisure, daily use and the office. Though marketed as feminine, a good share of voters find it masculine, so it sits close to the middle.
