Mata Hari by DSH Perfumes is a fierce, vintage-styled fruity chypre built on uncompromising botanical contrasts. The scent hits the skin with a tart blast of blood orange, bitter coriander, and sweet candied fruit notes. It does not apologize. Within twenty minutes, the bright citrus flash fades into a thick, sultry bouquet of champaca flower, spicy clove, and warm honey. Dark leather and velvety green oakmoss anchor the base alongside earthy patchouli and smoky myrrh. The profile feels unapologetically dramatic. It wears like a forgotten 1920s extrait poured over warm wool and bare skin. You get dense floral warmth, tangy dried fruit, and a distinct animalic hum that lasts through crisp autumn evenings.

This perfume demands crisp autumn air or cool spring evenings to show its full character, projecting strongly for the first two hours. Show less
