From your scent profile
Rochas Mystère Eau de Parfum is a chypre built on a green opening of galbanum, hyacinth and coriander, leading into a floral heart of jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang. It has been discontinued and is made for women.
Skunky's take: One that never goes out of style; time has not touched it.

ChypreWhat does Mystère (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mainly for evenings and nights out. Most votes call it feminine and classic, though a fair number find it masculine.
The green, hyacinth and coriander opening gives way to a floral heart where tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and violet lead. In the base, cedar, patchouli, oakmoss and musk dry it down with a woody, spicy and animalic weight. Animale Animale and Lancôme Magie Noire have a close profile.
