The goal of this website is to show the present owners of the D'Orsay company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back the perfume!


Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the perfume, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories), who knows, perhaps someone from the company might see it.

Mystere by D'Orsay c1915

Mystere by D'Orsay: launched in 1915.




Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as an aromatic oriental fragrance for women with a warm spicy, woody chypre base.
  • Top notes: bergamot and ginger
  • Middle notes: cinnamon, rose, geranium
  • Base notes: patchouli, oakmoss, musk, amber, vanilla, spices, sandalwood, leather


La Femme Chic, 1945:
"Another success that is asserting itself is Mystere, the latest of the D'Orsay perfumes and perhaps the most attractive of all. This warm and enveloping fragrance is both very strong and very discreet. It has no exaggerated or flashy notes; like its elders, it is a perfume of beautiful hold and exceptional quality. We appreciated a strange, truly mysterious side in him, which sets him apart and in some way at the forefront of modern essences."


Bottles:


Mystere was housed in a black flacon by Rene Lalique.


Mystere was also housed in various other bottles throughout the years. Note: these are not the only Mystere bottles to be found, I will update this article when I find more.























Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown. Still sold in 1969, by 1978 it was gone
