Hit the jackpot with this one. Any guesses??????

It's not an exact match, I would consider this more of an inspired by as there are some subtle differences between the two, need a hint????

Ok , what has a rock star & a monkey got in common? This is a beautiful Oriental, spicey, woody fragrance

The fragrance opens with a vibrant and intriguing mix, where the passion fruit & bergamot provide an unexpected fruity, yet slightly citrusy brightness, immediately contrasted by the warmth and spice of cinnamon. As it develops, the heart is where the scent becomes darker, more sensual & complex. The Incense offers a smoky, mystical quality, while leather provides a rich, rugged, somewhat animalic depth. There is a velvety rose note present, adding a touch of elegance, giving a balance to the heavier notes. The base settles into a warm, long-lasting, earthy trail. Sandalwood contributes a creamy woodiness, patchouli provides an earthy, rich depth & labdanum adds a resinous, amber-like warmth.

Have you guessed it yet? Answers in the comments. For the price point, Mysterium performs extremely well at around 7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate, creating a nice scent trail without being overly loud or offensive. I reckon this is a very close interpretation of the orinals DNA. The most noticable difference is the absence of the boozy/rum note found in the origina. Best suited for the colder seasons and great for evening wear

My Rating: 8/10
