What does Mandala (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with aromatic notes, lavender and clove, giving a spicy start. In the heart, opoponax, leather and oud come forward, and the scent turns smoky and animalic. The base settles into a woody, resinous ground of cedarwood, labdanum and sandalwood.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. As a concentrated, dense scent, it sits more comfortably in cool weather and in the evening. It suits men and women alike. Those after a similar profile may also look at Dior Leather Oud and Givenchy Oud Flamboyant.
