V Canto Mandragola is a unisex fragrance that opens with lime, bergamot and saffron and dries down to oud, vanilla and amber.
Skunky's take: Floral accords up front; keep it from the bees.

AnimalWhat does Mandragola smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated as good. Most voters pick it for nights out and evenings, though daytime and office wear get votes too. It sits in the middle on gender and suits men and women alike.
Floral and fruity accords meet a sweet, gourmand streak, and spicy, woody tones keep the sweetness from turning soft. The top is bright with citrus and absinth, jasmine and Bulgarian rose lead the heart, and vetiver, sandalwood and oud settle at the base. It dries down warm, with an animal, oriental edge.
