Borouj Mysterious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Mysterious opens with Sugar Cane, Green Notes, Amber, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Pebbles, Sweet Notes, Cedar, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Vanilla, Clean Musk, and Moss. Borouj's Mysterious carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Mysterious is a busy, fruity-fresh scent: bergamot, sugar cane, melon and pineapple, with jasmine and cedar, over vanilla, musk and moss. The name promises more mystery than a sweet, fruity list delivers, but it is lively and wearable.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its sweetness, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its mass-appealing fruity profile and compliment-getting reputation are ideal for casual outings and dates. It's a bit too bold for most formal settings and entirely out of place for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
