Mykonos x Paola Serena Avra Kehdabra is a sweet, spicy eau de parfum of saffron, bellflower and clove over jasmine, amberwood, amber and cedar. It comes from the mystical collection that Mykonos created with Paola Serena, and it was the first perfume of that collaboration, launched in December 2019. Its notes place it among our amber perfumes.
How Mykonos Avra Kehdabra develops on skin
Clove, bellflower and saffron open it: a sweet floral touch against warm, slightly smoky spice. In the heart, lily of the valley and jasmine bring the “touch of wildflowers” the brand describes, while amberwood starts to build the woody side. The base of amber, musk and cedar gives the “ghostly wooden breeze” and a warm, sensual finish. Mykonos sums it up as a sweet and spicy blend of mystical bellflower and sensual saffron, elegant and alluring.
Longevity, sillage and projection
Mykonos has not published longevity, sillage or projection ratings for Avra Kehdabra, so we don't quote any. We tag its intensity as strong because of its saffron, amber and cedar base. How long it lasts on you depends on your skin and the climate.
When to wear Avra Kehdabra, and who it suits
The brand pictures it as an enchanting summer in Prague and a bewitching winter in Paris, and we tag it for summer, autumn and winter, for daily wear, evenings and special occasions. The story is written around a woman who casts a spell on herself, but the scent itself, saffron, amber and woods, is one we list as unisex. In our range, it sits closest to Dark Secret, Constantine and Aphrodite. Comparing warm, woody scents? Read woody and musky fragrances compared.
