The scent of nothingness
Secret Mission is a strange fragrance. In the fragrance world, this perfume does not have a very good reputation. Poor durability. No performance. Watered down. All of which the fragrance is accused of. And for a good reason too. Secret Mission's performance is just plain bad. There are no two opinions there.

The fragrance itself is worth it but to go into more detail on him. Because apart from the miserable performance Secret Mission smells excellent. I'm surprised that so far so few have gone into the very strong similarities to Oud Wood. Secret Mission starts with a fresh pinch of bergamot and then develops over time from the basic DNA more and more in the direction of Oud Wood. The fragrance gains woody tones and a subtle medicinal, balsamic note of an oud accord emerges. Of course, there will not be a picogram of real oud in this fragrance. At this price (under 40€ for 90ml), that's not even feasible. Much more this "oud accord" will have been created from other fragrances.

Secret Mission thereby radiates a very warm and soothing aura on the wearer. And that is exactly what makes this fragrance very universal for me for special uses. You can wear this fragrance very well if you do not want to wear an intrusive fragrance or you only want to have this aura around you for 2-3 hours. Secret Mission carries itself thereby like a 2nd skin and disturbs no one in the environment.

Given the price and the extremely pleasant fragrance DNA I always like to reach for Secret Mission. Overspraying is no problem here. Who wants, which can thus wrap up with 10 sprays and will not step on anyone's feet. Then the scent will last a little longer too. Or you take a pocket sprayer with you and put 2 times a day after

Weak oud wood? Or week oud wood?
First sniff from this sample and .......wait a minute, something smells here like Tom Ford oud wood..
What is going on? What are the similar ingredients?
I search immediately and , wow....almost all ingredients are the same.....so that’s why
And now?
Wait again, why none mention on Tom ford oud wood review at similar perfumes section that secret mission smells like it?
So, lets ask my wife...
Rebecca! Come here please... what? The baby is crying? Ok ..... i will wait...again
After 15 minutes she was here. I had already read all the reviews..almost and I thought that i was the only one that have this impression
My wife was positive for similarities, she just said that at the beginning is more sweet and few minutes later is almost the same..
Cardamom is less? Who knows
Thank you sweetheart
About silage is really weak 4/10
About longevity is almost weak 5/10
About price is super... , even if you spray more and last only for a week.. 9/10
To be honest, Tom Ford oud wood is my signature perfume, so now im not sure if i have to reveal this gem (in case that i am right)
Im thinking what to do... publish my review or not?
I want to keep secret the secret mission.. I really believe that belongs to me this secret mission, not the perfume only.

A very special all-rounder. Very quiet and extremely shy.
This fragrance is mMn very special. I'll try it anyway Top note
Lightly/pleasantly spicy with a touch of herbs.
Heart note
Discreet floral notes and a little lavender form the centre.
Base
Musk and cedar come into their own here, albeit somewhat weakly. Oud? Where ?
Conclusion
It's not easy for me here. I know Baldessarini from before. I liked it better then. The fragrance is certainly not bad, it is well balanced and also pleasant. However, it has 2 for me already important disadvantages:
1. He is simply too "weak" for me, more strength or power would be strongly recommended here. More perfume oils ?
2. The durability. After max. 2 hours the scent is simply gone. For a eau de toilette mMn much too short.
If you like very subtle fragrances that are pleasant but hardly noticeable, you can definitely try this one. Since it is really very discreet, you can wear it always and everywhere. He's very special.

Hot violinist
Today I tried secret Mission , and for Baldessarini I have to raise my thumb again.

His motto is Separates the Men from the Boys.

Although the fragrance has something youthful about it, it still suits full-grown men - perhaps with a boyish charm that can be preserved at any age.

I remember the hot violinist Garrett, who just fiddled Coldplay to me on You Tube.
Casually elegant - with a hint of shabby chic.

This type of man could carry secret mission well - and I would risk a second look.

The fragrance is sensitive yet masculine - with a delicate, mysterious sweetness.
The wearer must be interesting.
Lavender and oud give the fragrance peace and depth - even depth.
The cypress is green and full - the rose geranium blooms softly.
A touch of discreet eroticism.

The user of this fragrance would make my heart beat faster - even without a violin.
