The Sith in Floral Garb
If Darth Vader were to wear a perfume, it would probably be Dark Mystery. At least this scent evokes associations for me with the dark Sith Lord.

Upon the first sniff (first on the wrist, then applied to the neck), I got a slight shiver: cool, fine leather and a subtle, smoky spice. Very fresh and clean - like cold metal. The floral accords, led by lavender and violet, come across as dry and initially clearly subordinate to the clean, smoky leather note, but gain increasing presence as time goes on.

The result is an elegant fragrance that radiates sovereignty and self-confidence without being intrusive or dominant.

While Dark Mystery is unisex, I would tend to categorize this scent more on the masculine side.

Unfortunately, it only lasts a few hours on the skin (a small decant into a travel spray would be advisable). The projection is average, which makes it very suitable for the office. The price-performance ratio is therefore moderate due to the short longevity.

The bottle style fits the name of the perfume. However, the inscription (black letters on a white label) appears rather plain.

Dark Mystery is well-suited for professional everyday use or evening outings. However, it is unsuitable for sporty situations, and I also find the scent not harmonious enough for dates.

This scent immediately makes me think of Darth Vader: Dark, elegant, mysterious, leathery: The dark side of the Force has me!

Ombre Leather is weak. Nice scent but why would I choose this, especially for the price.
