About Mata Hari by DSH Perfumes

Mata Hari by the American brand DSH Perfumes is a daring, sensual, multifaceted chypre-fruity fragrance, launched in 2010.

Created by the talented perfumer Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, it is dedicated to the image of the famous dancer and spy Mata Hari—a woman shrouded in mystery and seduction.

This eau de parfum is marketed as a women's fragrance, but it also suits bold, self-assured men.

The fragrance has a very soft sillage, making it ideal for close encounters and intimate moments.

Olfactory Pyramid and Character

The composition opens with a vibrant citrus-spicy burst: bergamot, mandarin, orange, and blood orange, paired with coriander and fruity notes, create a sparkling, energetic introduction.

Neroli adds a bitter-floral nuance.

At the heart unfolds a rich floral-spicy bouquet: jasmine, rose, tuberose, iris, lilac, osmanthus, orchid, and marigold intertwine with spices—cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

This intoxicating, voluptuous heart gradually melts into a warm, languid base.

The fragrance trail is a complex blend of patchouli, vetiver, tobacco, leather, oakmoss, and resinous-sweet accents of benzoin, vanilla, ambrette, and spicy cumin.

Musk, lending sensuality, completes the composition.

If you enjoyed this fragrance, take a look at similar options: Demeter Almond, Cartier So Pretty Eau Fruitee, and SoOud Ouris Eau Fine.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Mata Hari by DSH Perfumes is a feminine fragrance that belongs to the chypre fruity compositions. It was released in 2010, and perfumer Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is behind its creation. <br><br>Top notes like orange and mandarin create a bright first impression, but they are soon overshadowed by deeper and more complex middle notes. Osmanthus and jasmine, along with tuberose, give the fragrance a certain sadness, like memories of something lost. <br><br>Base notes, including musk and sandalwood, leave behind a feeling of longing and deep melancholy. This fragrance, as if, tells a story of love and loss, of what once was, but now remains only in memories
5/5
