Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Mystère lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Thé Noir 29.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Thé Noir 29's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Thé Noir 29 — the 4th cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it is chasing: bergamot, fig and bay leaf up top, cedar, vetiver and musk in the middle, tobacco and hay underneath — the shape of Le Labo Thé Noir 29.

For the one who reads by candlelight, brewing strong black tea while fig and smoky cedar drift quietly through a cool, contemplative evening.
