What does Misterioso smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is named most often for evenings and nights out. Its character is hard to pin down: masculine and feminine votes sit close together.

Amber, labdanum, sandalwood, cedar and vetiver read as a single whole rather than in stages. A woody, resinous base carries a warm, spicy, oriental feel, while earthy, smoky and leathery tones and an animal edge fill out the dark picture. It has a close profile to Dior Leather Oud and Jovoy Private Label.
