Wood Mystique

I'm a blindbuy addict but wood mystuque is a kind of perfume I'd never consider blindbuying it.first because it has wood in it's name.second because it has oud,leather,patchouli,pink pepper and cedar,notes I usually can't stand.and third,it's branded as unisex and I imagine a woody unisex with such rough notes to lean towards masculinity My friend gave me a decant of this one and also amber mustique which I thought I'd like more.I was surprised to love wood mystique! I discovered that I actually like oud in sweet,well put together perfumes and this is one of them.oud and woody notes are in a warm,sweet balmy base of benzoin.a perfect combination of bitter and sweet.raspberry,rose and a combination of soft powdery florals adds bright sparks to darkness of woods and leather is soft and adds elegance to scent.it's a very eastern scent but a very luscious,elegant one.notes go through lots of changes and it blooms on skin as a heavenly gorgeous melody so make sure to try it on skin Wood mystique is definitely unisex great for both men and women.it's a cold weather scent and stays forever.sillage is big at first but it reduces to moderate in an hour so don't worry about it's heavyness offending other people This one and Lancome oud bouquet are among my rare oudy loves I love,love,love it Gonna replace my Lancome oud with this one whenever it finishes

I wouldn’t call this fragrance a woody , but instead a leathery sweet fragrance! It is a leather base fragrance with spices, I can’t smell the raspberries neither the roses clearly but I got the sweetness out of them, it is perfectly unisex fragrance, so bold, it’s not linear at all; as i recently tried alaia and was also a nice leathery sweet I’m feeling maybe I should try more leathery fragrances, I’m so impressed by both of them, these kind of fragrances are so wonderful for night-outs, classy, sophisticated, and sexy! In general with Estée Lauder fragrances I don’t get a great deal with longevity and sillage, but the case here is different, both are excellent! All in all nice fragrance, but not a safe blind buy though, try it before purchasing it. Edit: This reminds me soooo much of hot couture by givenchy btw. Edit 1/7/2018: The more I wear it the more I love it, it is so mysterious, classy edgy fragrance, spicy forsure, I’m not so much into leather fragrances but this perfume made me go and buy all the other leathery fragrances I was not sure about, and layer them with something sweet!

I blind bought this based on the notes, the buzz, and the reasonable price. Ah, yup, we have a winner, and the winner is me. The oud here is barely present and very tame. The tart raspberry and lush florals jump out aggressively, all engineered and glossy. The woody components are more demure, rounded, but still sparkling. Wood Mystique compares to Portrait of a Lady as they both deliver rosy raspberries up top. The bases are obviously different and the Malle product is more articulately composed and performs better, but at five times the price, it had better. I'm also reminded somewhat of Al Haramain Excellent, though that fragrance is more subdued and not as girly. Wood Mystique seems more linear, and its candystriper top notes may cut down the versatility on a middle age straight guy vice the more dignified but still quite sweet Excellent. The shiny object has this magpie transfixed, though this entrancement might have to take place as often as not in the context of what Ashton calls "colognely." It's like the Jolly Rancher of rose/oud.

I worked for Estée Lauder in my 20s and I have always loved a lot of their perfumes. I blind bought Wood Mystique and I had high hopes for it. When I received it about 6 - 7 months ago, I was underwhelmed and didn’t get much from it so tucked away in the cupboard to macerate. Now, I absolutely love it. It is a bit of a sneaky scent when you first spray it on. Don’t be fooled by its simplicity and lack of oomph in the beginning. It will unfold boldly and sweetly after about 20 minutes to diffuse an alluring blend of woody notes, some rose, some sweet fruits and tantalize your senses every time you catch a whiff of it. I have discovered the best places to wear this perfume and truly enjoy its beauty is on your neck, décolletage, and shoulders. I don’t even bother to spray them on my wrists anymore. Elbows, yes when I want it to be more than 4 spritz. Longevity is moderate and so is the sillage. It’s not a loud scent and that’s fine because it makes it more classy.

میخوام یکی از زیباترین عطرها رو از برند اصیل و لکژری استی لادر معرفی کنم حتما با محصولات خوب این برند اصیل امریکایی آشنایی دارین بوی عطر انقدر ظریف و زیبا طراحی شده که گاهی تصمیم میگیرم اونو توی مغزم پاف کنم! بسیار با و قار و شیک هست این بو ازون سلطنتیاشه! :دی بوی شرقی داره البته بوی نایس میموزا،رز و جاسمین و چند گل دیگه با هم در رقص و پای کوبیند این فلورال بودن اونه که اونو یونیسکس کرده اجازه بدین از عمر این عطر بگذره تا با بلوغش شمارو جادو کنه ته بوی عمر این عطر به طور عجیبی از چرم و تمشک استقاده شده و اونو سکسیش کرده و صد البته لوکس. ترکیباتی که اگر حرفه ای ایجاد شن عطر رو به شاهکار تبدیل میکنه یک شیرینی خاصی همراه با نوعی تلخی صمیمانه در پیکارند!!! شبها که اون رو بو میکنم وقتی چشم هامو میبندم احساس میکنم درون یک باغ هستم با انفجاری از بوهای دوست داشتنی .دلیلشو نمیدونم اما کمی بوی طبیعت رو داره یک مقدار کمی شبیه یکی از کارهای پرایوت تام فورد هست اما با قیمتی مناسب تر دقت به ترکیبات آورده شده در شرح نتهای عطر حرفه ای بودن اونو تایید میکنه

I don't understand the negetive reviews either. Not only is it longlasting on me, and i have perfume eating skin, but the sillage is good as well. Most likely it has to do with chemistry. Wood Mystique opens on me with a sweet tabacco note, it smells moist and reminds me of grandpa's cherry cigars. A little bit later the oud,rasperry and rose come out. It's a dry oud,peppery, with sweet rasperry and gooey ambery notes. On my skin the tabacco/cigar lingers all the way to the end. It's a well blended, unisex, high end smelling perfume. It reminds me of a mix between the arabian oil called macho man and scentstory 24 Gold. I tested this for one day and ordered a full bottle asap

I'm really surprised at the bad reviews of this. I usually am not a fan of Estee Lauder perfumes but I smelled this while traveling in Dubai and loved it. Someone was horrified at the blending of the notes but I find this beautifully balanced and blended. On my skin this is more Jasmine and Oud than rose and oud but despite the rebellious relationship my skin has with jasmine, it actually works here. There's something a little dark, a little animalic beneath the rich jasmine but it makes it all the more interesting and gives this scent more depth. I could not stop smelling my wrist. Have yet to wear it since I tried it but longevity was great. Sillage was moderate.

"Oud" and "bombastic" need not share the same bottle, and this is gentle enough, yet persistent enough, to make oud a welcome guest in most settings. The earthy rose whirls about the wearer from the first spray and casts a spell. The carefully calibrated depths of the remaining notes are present from the start, and maintain a presence for hours upon hours. I received comments that bordered on fascination rather than, "Ooh, you smell good," and personally, I'd prefer the fascination. The oud, florals, cedar, berry, leather, benzoin, and patchouli remain soft and never get dirty. It is 100% unisex and 100% what I want in an oud. Just right.

Oh boy! Oh my! What-a-beauty! If I were a judge of perfumes , or a fragrance sommelier , trying ALL oud scents that have been created from d&g to Versace to cavalli to Valentino .... This one on my skin is a total winner. The Oscar to best Oud fragrance goes out to Mystique! Thankfully all I have is leather and Oud. So strong and not itchy . I always wanted to smell like this on a warm summer night . It's the kind of scent that all my skin should smell like. Pretty much all seasonal if I may add. Again , a perfume that has to be tried on your skin. One of the few perfumes I want REALLY bad.

Wood Mystique ended up being what I hoped Amouage Lyric would be - a dry, woody rose suitable for a man. I disliked the Amouage because I felt the rose was a bit too high pitched - the green and citrus facets of Lyric together make that note peculiarly screechy. Wood Mystique's rose feels approximately an octave deeper, and to my mind better blended with the agarwood and resinous background notes. Note - both this and Amber Mystique are available online for shockingly reduced prices. Estee Lauder is selling this for $180 online for a 3.4oz bottle - mine was closer to $45 on Ebay.

Bought this yesterday after admiring it from a far all year. I'm not a huge oud lover and so this fragrance is just right. It has just the right amount of oud to give it that middle eastern smell but without it being too bitter or breathetaking. The syrupy rose complement the oud so well too. This is a powerful fragrance which I'm sure ill enjoy wearing over the Christmas period. Definitely more suited to winter. Sillage is moderate,longevity on the skin around 12 hours. Cracking unisex fragrance

This is my first experience with Estée Lauder fragrances. The inventor of this perfume should take a prize for understanding the nature of the middle eastern taste. This is one of few fragrances that will not change because of hot weather, humidity and the tough weather in Dubai. Plus it's extremely expensive but worth every Dirham. I'm surprised by the change from the 1st note to the 3rd. Love it.

I nabbed this so cheaply b/c the sprayer is broken. Smells good, rich, dark, a bit of rose and I guess the infected wood that is "Oud". Smells like a masculine women's scent or a feminine man's scent, which I like. Definitely sweet smelling. I wonder about the price being so high. Is there real Oud in there driving the price or just marketing? You sell it for what they will pay! love the bottle

Wood Mystique is a gorgeous raspberry and leather accented with a bit of smoky rose oud cocktail. This is so different from the prolific rose oud perfumes on the market. The raspberry and leather are the stars of the show. They are quite prominent in the base and this perfume lasts for days on clothing. Quite unique in my collection and suitable for cooler weather.

I love,love wood mystique!I have 3 bottles ....to think of it,l initially did not like this when l purchased it for my birthday last year,now am in love and purchasing back up bottles...I recently purchased the amber mystique,its stronger and smells medicinal l dont think l will like it as much as l love wood mystique....

The beauty and traditions of the Middle East in a bottle. Magnificent on the right person, and definitely unisex. Tons of pepper, rose, patchouli, oud, with a raspberry note in the base. Huge sillage, good longevity. I agree that Wood Mystique does have something of that Tom Ford private blend vibe going on.

I just got this today as a birthday present from my husband. This is a 5 star perfume. It is enveloping in a very mysterious yet classy and sensual way. I detect pistachios among the notes though they are not mentioned. It projects elegance and confidence. I am in love with it.

lovely oud and rose blend for the non-middle eastern perfume lovers who wants the woody scent, it sillage is enormous and longevity is quite good, could still smell it on my clothes even after washing. Even though the companymsays it's unisex, i wear it very well as a lady.

Amaizing! This one is a masterpiece! I smell woods, deep roses and raspberry on a leather base... Very sexy and sensual. I would say this frag is unisex, but also very feminine. This perfume is dark and deep and lasts forever! Great silage also... A MUST HAVE!!!

I sat next to a woman on the train yesterday and I was sure she was wearing EL's Cinnabar and was surprised as I hadn't smelled the latter in years. I happened by chance to try Wood Mystique and feel that this certainly resembles Cinnabar with very little oud!
