With its origins tracing back well over a century, Mefisto is a perfume with timeless appeal. Released in its original guise by Casamorati around the turn of the 20th century, it was created for a female clientele and sold on the promise of its seductive allure.
In its modern-day, unisex form, Mefisto retains this allure, as well as its original Italian character — something that is reflected in its composition.
Calabrian lemon and bergamot entice the nose with some citrusy freshness in the opening, dovetailing beautifully with the lavender flowers that give the perfume its irresistible aromatic charm. Florentine iris and rose absolute lie at its heart, leading to a soothing base of amber mixed with woody notes.
