Ingredients
What are the critics saying about Mandrake?

“Mandrake starts very moist, damp and green. In just a few seconds after application the scent gets really high-pitched, intensely shrill, bright green, juicy and tart. I detect the crisp green apple note and the sour leafy rhubarb. A gorgeous, cool-toned spiciness from cardamom appears and rounds out the sharp edges of this toxic green opening.

The entire opening of this scent reminds me of the scene from Harry Potter where they lift the shrieking mandrake "babies" from one pot and replant them in another.

•

The cardamom leads the way for a deep, velvety floral feeling. I can't really put my finger on what type of flower it is (it says mandrake flower accord in the notes, so it is obviously supposed to smell like the flower of the mandrake plant), but I can't detect what type of notes they've used to create this accord. It smells floral in a violet-rosy-exotic, blushing, velvety kind of way, and the smell has depth, a bit of darkness and weight - it feels heavy, but not suffocating. The green fruity and slightly sour smell from the opening is still present, and lifts the more heavy feeling of this floral accord. This floral phase feels very sensual, attractive and enveloping.

•

The base makes its presence known with a smooth leather and creamy, semi sweet vanilla-tonka combo. There is still traces of the rhubarb left in the scent, and together with the vanilla it creates a dessert like feeling. It smells a bit like a less sweet panna cotta with rhubarb jam. Almost edible, but not quite. You feel like taking a bite, but you know you really shouldn't.

There is also something in the base that reminds me of a soft, smooth, buttery caramel.

Again a really gorgeous and unique creation. I'm impressed!"

“Mandrake is some wicked stuff. First off, you get the apple and rhubarb, then slowly finishes to a nice clean leather smell. Never smelled “deadly addiction accord” before, but after smelling this, I am hooked! Full bottle worthy."

— WESTHAM1969

"Mandrake has the same fun appeal for me as watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, or Alice and Wonderland: A colorful, kaleidoscopic adventure ending in a deep, exhausted sleep in the dreamy comfort of a gigantic down bed from which you may not want to wake up."

— SPHYNXCAT

MANDRAKE : Backstory

Legends claim the Mandrake screams to its death when uprooted, which could kill anyone who heard it. Its powerful psychoactive compounds also led to its use as an anesthetic and in witchcraft, often as a component in love potions. In biblical scripture, Mandrake was referred to as "the love plant" and was thought to have male fertility-enhancing properties. Its human-like shape led to the belief that Mandrake could cure sterility and induce conception. As Mandrakes were seen as a conduit between the physical and spiritual worlds, they were used to aid in divination, induce prophetic dreams, and facilitate communication with spirits

"Mandrake root actually smells like apple, the heart of Mandrake eau de parfum, with sharp, sour rhubarb as the "fatal shriek", and birch roots reaching all the way down deep into the Earth."

— Joseph Quartana, Creator

Mandrake eau de parfum 50mL bottle and box

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

“Most people are familiar with Mandrake as the squalling magical plant in the Harry Potter novels and movies. Mr. Quartana was inspired by the smell of actual Mandrake which has an uncanny resemblance to apples. So Mr. Vinals uses a classic red apple accord. He surrounds the crisp fruit with the off-beat green of rhubarb, cardamom, along with birch leaf and birch root.

•

This creates a really interesting fruity foliage accord when it all comes together. That apple is ever present but the two sources of birch provide the leafiness and the sense of the soil it is growing in. This eventually slides into a leathery woody finish around leather, sandalwood, and patchouli. To represent the magical shriek Mr. Vinals adds a sharp synthetic contrast..."

— Colognoisseur

“Once I smelled Mandrake, OMG I absolutely loved it. It was such a burst of fruity vanilla mixed with tonka, patchouli, leather & birch that literally swept me off my feet.”
