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."
