WoodyWhat does Mysterious Shadow smell like?
The scent reads citrusy and clean overall: bergamot and lavender lead, while spices add a touch of warmth. Patchouli and woody notes steady the green tones. The accords also carry a synthetic edge, and the general feel is crisp and woody.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear come up most often. It is mostly seen as masculine and modern. Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) have a close profile.
