Dark, Mysterious, Seductive, Hypnotic

[gshock]

Which fragrance engulfs the wearer in an aura that is dark, mysterious, seductive, hypnotic...and maybe even borderline evil and demonic?

[EnvYuS]

Tea for Two!! It's smokeyness makes it dark and mysterious. The sweet honey makes it seductive and people are hypnotized by it because it is so interesting to smell.

[Red_Rose]

Fumerie Turque

[paintrman]

Voleur de Roses

Absolutely no question. Very mysterious and dark!

[PigeonMurderer]

I`ll second Tea for Two and M7.

Also: Body Kouros, Salvador Dali PH, Opium PH, and perhaps suprisingly; Michael Kors.

As I thought about this, I realized many scents that I find to be dark and mysterious are oud scents:
Montale Oud Cuir d'Arabie
Montale Attar
Montale Black Oud
MPG Soir d'Orient

Then, to a lesser degree, the incense scents come to mind, as well as a couple ambre and/or musk scents:
YSL Body Kouros
Balenciaga PH
Montale Greyland
Lutens Ambre Sultan

And while I wouldn't call these "dark," they do seem menacing in some way:
Czech & Speake no. 88
Malle Noir Epices
Lutens MKK

Montale Oud Cuir d'Arabie
Montale Black Oud
MPG Soir d'Orient

I agree completely with these three.

[DOCPSYCHO]

Basala by shiseido seems almost smokey and mysterious I don't know about dark though.

The first thing that came to mind was M7.. followed closely by Ungarp III

[JaimeB]

Voleur de Roses

Absolutely no question. *Very mysterious and dark!

Have you smelled Montale Black Aoud? It's somewhat similar to Voleur de Roses, but Voleur de Roses is light compared to this one!

There are other deep dark ones in the Montale line: Attar is another example (Mysore sandalwood, Bulgarian rose, and agarwood). Not evil exactly, but deep and mysterious, yes!

Attar by Montale is also known as the scent of the Maharajas

Thanks to Vijay, I got to try this one out. Black Aoud reminds me more of Iquitos than VdR - granted, both are rose scents, but I agree with JaimeB - Black Aoud is darker than VdR to my nose. It also has a leathery quality, which somehow makes it work better for me than either of the other two I mentioned. If I had to describe it, I would say it's a dark, deep leathery scent with a musty, dank rose note. Whereas VdR reminds me of wet gardens after a rainfall, Black Aoud brings to mind somewhat evil things for me - like being strapped to the wall of a vampiress' dungeon, or something dark and gothic like that.

Attar doesn't strike me as "evil" in the same way, but certainly is exotic and complex, a bit dark, but in a mysterious way.

I agree on m7, envy (to some extent) but not tea for two. I think its more cozy and yummy than menacing. Above all, I concur with the MONTALES. I just got a sample batch from Vijay, and I gotta say, dapper super-villains in hollywood movies must have whole caches of these.

[manicboy]

Gucci PH, Dior Homme & D&G PH. M7 would be good too. Envy is prolly too green to be dark.
