What does Mystique Shimmer smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows, and very few choose summer. Night out and evening lead the occasions, and it also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine.

The scent is built from saffron, musk and black pepper. Saffron and pepper give a spicy, slightly resinous warmth, which the musk softens. Sweet and gourmand accents weigh most, with oriental, woody, powdery and creamy sides alongside. Narciso Rodriguez Rose Musc and Rituals Oriental Essence - Victoire d'Ambre have a close profile.
