About this deal

Compré una botella con la tapa dañada hace 6 meses y es lo que recuerdo! También compré una botella muy cara de Mystere de otro vendedor en mejores condiciones de botella, y ambas botellas son similares en olor. Yo personalmente recomendaría la botella con la tapa dañada. It opens with a familiar hiss of aldehydes and galbanum. This sets the stage for the greening of things to come. Narcissus forms the core of the floral accord. M. Mamounas unfurls an assertive version of this which would be too sharp if left on its own. He expertly weaves in a bouquet of other florals to form an ameliorating wreath of mostly white flowers. We then come to the base where the classic chypre accord is present in patchouli, oakmoss, and a woody accord of cypress and cascarilla wood. Usually the wood is sandalwood, but this choice is much lighter in effect. I think it is so the oakmoss can just coat everything in a velvety soft green blanket. The patchouli modulates the earthiness present in the oakmoss. Whenever I need a reminder of why I miss oakmoss Mystere is a good reminder. It flows in a gorgeously textural way as it sweeps up the narcissus in its embrace. In addition to a dense abundance of floral notes, there is a good portion of oakmoss and a well-dosed blob of civet as an animal component. If you are looking for a classic luxury perfume that is both stylish and timeless, then Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani is the perfect choice for you.

Compré este producto porque lo usé hace muchos años. El olor es exactamente como lo recordaba. Lo uso por las noches para salir a cenar. Dura toda la noche.Someone holds out a full champagne flute to me from a velvet seating area. I take the glass and drink it. Far away glittering and booming. Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue is the perfect scent for men who want to feel confident, attractive, and irresistible. It is a versatile fragrance that can be worn for any occasion, from a night out on the town to a special event. With its luxurious blend of notes, Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue is sure to turn heads wherever you go.

But this scent deserves a closer look, because there are so many different variants, even those that are less brittle and much more lovable. Mystère is a thoroughly seductive, attractive and erotic fragrance. But here the perfumer doesn't fall into the house with superficial or even vulgar lechery, so to speak, no he manages to keep this erotic attraction subtle, subtle and profound. Never does the fragrance whine around loudly, never does the fragrance appear cute and playful somewhere. Here a certain seriousness is quite noticeable.

A small puddle of sparkling wine on green overgrown ground. I greedily slurp the dew, which according to its sour note can only be an old, noble drop. Somehow expired, but deliberately. Like a Norne today, but instead of the sweet-etheric, fermented woody, like nothing known in nature. Real oakmoss. I'm thinking Success, Paco Rabanne, Lauder for Men. It's hard to know where to start and where to stop having sex. Your description of the Mystere mood is very accurate. Late seventies at its best. A bit of a wilting Studio 54 after party ambiance and an awakening from the Champagne, cigarettes and drugs of the era. I would categorize them both as animalic chypres, but as Hillaire mentions, they tend to wear like orientals. The only discernable difference to my nose is that Mystere seems a bit more civet-y and animalic while Gianni Versace is more leathery and dry... but in all honesty, they smell almost exactly alike. I have actually done the wrist-to-wrist comparison and the differences become more obvious that way, but even then they are more alike than not (and my fiance can't tell them apart at all.) They're so similar, in fact, that I believe it had to have been deliberate (Mystere's from 1978.)

Perfumer Nicolas Mamounas developed Mystère in 1978. Jan Moran’s Fabulous Fragrances categorizes Mystère as a “Chypre – Floral Animalic” and lists its top notes as galbanum, cascarilla, coriander and hyacinth; its heart as violet, narcissus, May rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, carnation, ylang ylang and orris; and its base notes as cypress, oakmoss, cedarwood, musk, civet, patchouli and styrax. Mystère is a grim, glowering green chypre – a Givenchy III or Y that‘s gone over to the dark side. It's wonderful. I hope you enjoy your bottle of Mystere. I was sure I had a vintage mini of Mystere around here somewhere, but alas, I cannot find it. Perhaps I imagined it. I'd like to follow up on your observation that the oakmoss note grows and engulfs the composition in your vintage chypres. I hope you don't mind. Like Cook.bot, this has not been my experience, so I am very curious about the phenomenon you are describing. It is very possible that you are acutely sensitive to oakmoss, or that your vintage bottles have gone through different transformations than mine (I sometimes think, if only this 50 year old bottle could talk! Where has it been?" I usually find it quite interesting when a fragrance changes a little over a period of time, but I really like the relatively linear progression of Mystère.I’d also compare Mystère to wine, although it doesn’t smell a bit like something to drink. Some wine is pretty and easy to drink, but the wine that satisfies best with a meal often isn’t the fruity stuff that’s so great as a summer apéritif. Instead, like Mystère, it’s structured, bitter as coffee, yet silky and rich with the character of the grape from which it’s made. Also like serious wine, Mystère isn’t a perfume for new palates.
