Jesus del Pozo's Halloween Man Mystery isn't actually really much of a mystery. It's a solid modern take on an aromatic fougere that adds in fruit and wood ntes and a very strong and refreshing lavender. It's similar to fellow flanker Halloween Man X, with the major different being that X adds a dark roasted coffee note on the drydown. Mystery really lets its lavender shine on the drydown, resulting in a refreshing and uplifting fragrance. Overall it's a very good blend of fruit, lavender, herbal, woody and patchouli musk aromas.

This is versatile enough to be used in both serious and social occasions. It's great for warmer weather, has a cool black bottle presentation, and comes at a great price for a designer fragrance. The fruit forward opening might lean too feminine for some male users, though there are plenty of fragrances that are a lot fruitier and are perfectly acceptable for men to use. Up to your individual taste. Do note that performance is average, so be prepared to overspray and respray throughout the day. Recommended.
