What does Mystère / Secret smell like?

Amber and patchouli lead, coriander adds a spicy warmth, and violet and tree moss balance the floral and woody sides. The notes don't unfold in stages; the scent reads as a single whole. Floral, sweet, spicy, woody and resinous accords come together in an oriental style.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. As a fragrance for women, its dense, warm and smoky character suits cooler days best. Serge Lutens Ambre sultan (Eau de Parfum) and Casamorati 1888 have a close profile.
