The best option to introduce an allusion and make the description more vivid is:
replace “smile” with “Mona Lisa smile”
This revision brings in the allusion to the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, which is well-known for its subject's enigmatic smile, thereby enhancing the sense of mystery in the description.
