What does Purple Mantra smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen by few. It leans towards leisure and evening wear and also suits nights out. Masculine and feminine votes run close, so it sits comfortably between the two.
It opens with lavender, pink pepper and freesia, fresh with a light spice. In the heart, iris, white blossoms, marjoram and clary sage add a soft floral layer. The base of myrrh, frankincense, ambroxan and musk settles into a resinous, smoky, sweet foundation.
