What do reviewers say about Mystere and French Affair?
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
French Affair does not whisper. It settles into a cool, earthy base of smoky vetiver and moss that stays close, a confident and persistent skin scent.French Affair
