Dark Mystery

I got a sample and I am hooked! Perfect spring scent for my style of gothic momma, gives me confidence and attitude. I think this scent is more feminine and mature, it is not sweet like Black Opium at all. Sometimes the smoke is pushing the scent a bit too far, but it makes it unique and edgy - this is a dark and smoky and leathery floral, name says it all! I have been wearing this to work, mostly on my wrists and 2 sprays max. In the end I detect a very comfy and yummy vanilla - and this is the scent that stays nicely on your hair and clothes. The only down side is the staying power, I think in 4 hours it is completely gone and after 2 hours I think it sits very close by. I will definately be getting a full bottle of this since I havent come across anything like it.💜

I was looking for Ombre Leather clone. Love it

Testing a decant and while opening was quite intriguing, little sweet and sensual it faded on my skin after couple of minutes leaving rough leather with oud undertones in the background and the rest of the notes I cant pinpoint, which is not a bad thing actually. Its quite nice, but disappointing in general and if mentioned leather and oud stays through out the day it becomes effortless and casual fragrance with a character for colder days, but for the evenings and occasions this is too mediocre. Personally Im quite surprised the oud is not putting me off as Im not a fan of "heavy" composition, Dark Mystery could be a nice addition for colder, moody days as its not overpowering you and your surroundings, the longer I sniff it and the notes gets smoother the longer I start to enjoy its drydown profile, interesting.

A very good clone of Tom Ford Ombre Leather. The drydown is a bit smoother, a bit more woody. Tom Ford still keeps that leather note until the end.

On me this perfume smells like incense after the initial spray and smells exactly like inside of the church/holy water after it settles. I feel like it would only work on me if I dyed my hair from blonde to black and dressed very gothic. Currently it would just make everyone think that I'm not wearing perfume and that I go to church. On my boyfriend it smells much better, reminding me of an old library. I can't smell any vanilla. It's a very smokey fragrance with strongest notes of saffron, cardamom and leather. If warm, vanilla, feminine scents work best with your body chemistry then this might not work for you.
