Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mystere EDP
This discontinued 70s treasure is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its complex, animalic chypre character utterly captivating, a truly classic scent that commands attention. Others are put off by its challenging green and civet notes, finding it a bit too much for modern tastes.

Our Verdict - 900 EDP
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mystere

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Mystere's strong, complex profile and lingering sillage make it unsuitable for an office setting or casual wear. It excels in formal and date scenarios, projecting an air of vintage sophistication and allure, as many reviews highlight its seductive quality.

900

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.
