What does Tara Mantra (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring next, and it leans towards leisure time and evenings. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it reads as truly in between.

It opens with cardamom, asafoetida and saffron, spicy and slightly animalic. Ajowan and patchouli bring an earthy heart. In the base, jasmine, oud and lotus rest the floral sweetness on a woody, resinous footing. Pekji Ruh and Alqémi Oud Athar have a close profile.
