A fragrant touch of magic, you leave so many mysteries behind you, the advertisement for MYSTERE perfume said—touches of magic from the most magical perfume.

A mysterious accord of strange green notes, rich and intense floral notes, and deep, enchanting woody notes.

The Greek perfumer Nikos Mamounas created an unforgettable perfume that exudes luxury.

Glossy-textured black box, with a dark red front panel and a white border; centered within a cream-colored frame is MYSTERE DE ROCHAS in a golden hue, and this is the lettering of the authentic perfume.

Heavy, clear glass bottle, asymmetrical rectangular shape, with EAU DE TOILETTE, MYSTERE DE ROCHAS, 80º in three lines, and this is also from the authentic perfume.

Black (reddish) elliptical, slanted cap.

The packaging and exceptional glass bottle were designed by French sculptor Serge Mansau and Robert Granai.

The heavy, transparent bottle was made by French artisans at Saint - Gobain - Desjonqueres, bearing the SGD mark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury perfumes.

The product was distributed in Greece by the perfumery company HELLENICA COSMETICS SA (XEIMARAS PARADEISOS AMAROUSIOU), and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.
