What do reviewers say about Especially Escada Elixir and Mystere?

Fruity-rose with a modern sweetness that polarises. Some find the synthetic edge too much; others wear it like a second skin. The plum and rose combination is the argument.Especially Escada Elixir

This is a chypre for people who like their fragrances with a point of view. The ozonic quality and that sour-herbal edge won't appeal to everyone, but if you've ever wanted a violet leaf that refuses.Mystere
