The name Mystic Escape perfectly reflects the nature of the scent. It is an intriguing perfume that promises an escape from the ordinary. You can't quite put your finger on the scent, which makes it mysterious. The sultry notes of the perfume fit perfectly with this name and the feeling of an adventure full of possibilities.
