What does Mandragore Pourpre (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Bergamot and rosemary open it fresh and green, star anise and black pepper add spice, and heliotrope brings a soft floral touch. Patchouli and frankincense set a woody, earthy base, with a fruity note running through it.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so many read it as sitting in between. Goutal Mandragore and Nicolaï Cologne Sologne have a close profile.
