What does Mandragore smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Votes lean feminine, though a good share call it masculine.

As a whole it reads fresh and green: spearmint and bergamot bring the lift, while star anise, black pepper and ginger add a spicy warmth. Citrus, floral and fruity touches are softened by a woody base. Goutal Mandragore Pourpre and Berdoues 1902 - Gingembre Vert have a close profile.
