An inspired fragrance

People who own - by - keep landing on Unsolved Mystery as the wallet-friendly stand-in. The resemblance is real.

Unsolved Mystery opens like a flash of soft light: a shimmering veil of juicy pear and bright bergamot that’s lighthearted and instantly uplifting. As the scent unfolds, it reveals its quiet secret, the powdery sigh of violet wrapped in a weightless blend of freesia and a wisp of ginger. It finally settles onto the skin like a cashmere hug, leaving a warm, subtly sweet, and comforting trail of vanilla and musk that keeps you coming back for just one more inhale. A beautiful fruity-floral opening where juicy pear shines alongside bright citrus. The heart is a delicate and powdery mix, like soft freesia petals dusted with violet. Reach for it in fall and winter.
