Mystere

Новая Заря (The New Dawn) Mystere is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Rose, Patchouli, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss and Amber.

Our verdict on Mystere: Acquired

Mystere is a deeply divisive, potent earthy-rose chypre with echoes of vintage powerhouses. Some find it a 'vile' alcoholic mess, others laud its unique blend of cold and warm. Worth a sniff if you're brave enough.

Its potent projection and strong, slightly challenging chypre character make it less suitable for many office environments. However, its intensity and unique blend lean into formal and date settings where making a statement is desired.

About

Mystere opens with a sharp, green violet leaf note, quickly giving way to a bittersweet rose heart, laced with the intriguing, slightly lemony and woody spice of coriander. As it settles, it reveals a rich, earthy base of damp oakmoss and patchouli, softened by a warm amber. There's an ozonic, almost aquatic quality woven throughout, creating a juxtaposition of dry warmth and cool, green freshness.
