What does Mandarava smell like?

Jasmine sambac, tuberose, rose, gardenia and champaca form the floral side. Oakmoss and vetiver lay a green, earthy base, while cinnamon, cumin and coriander bring the spice. Amber, frankincense, myrrh and Assam oud add a resinous, smoky warmth, and civet leaves an animal trace.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure and evening wear lead. In character votes feminine comes first, though a fair share call it masculine. Parfum Prissana Thichila and Prin Ganja Kasturi have a close profile.
