Quick answer: Mykonos Dark Secret is a strong evening extrait de parfum: black cherry and saffron, cinnamon and praline, then amber, tonka and sandalwood. It is made for autumn and winter nights, in 100 ml.
Dark Secret is the Mykonos perfume for cold evenings. It opens with black cherry and saffron, warms through cinnamon, nutmeg and praline, and settles into amber, tonka and sandalwood. It is rich, dark and sensual, and it is made in 100 ml. Here is how it wears.
What Mykonos Dark Secret smells like
The opening is dark fruit: black cherry with saffron and bergamot. Saffron gives the cherry a leathery, slightly metallic depth that keeps it from smelling like sweets.
The heart is warm spice and sweetness: cinnamon, nutmeg, marigold, jasmine and praline. This is the part that gives Dark Secret its cosy, almost boozy feeling, like a spiced cherry dessert.
The base is amber, musk, tonka bean and sandalwood. It is smooth, creamy and warm, and it lasts.
