Prin - Mandodari

This is Mandodari from PRIN. It's named after a character in a Sanskrit epic poem and she is a queen consort who's wronged by her husband and gods. So what does she smell like? This is talked about as an aldehylic floral fragrance and sure enough I get a really fantastic jasmine in the scent, but I wouldn't classify Mandodari as a floral perfume per se. In fact, I would classify this as a old-school vintage sheep Maybe it's that oak moss in the base with a touch of civet. Really elegant, really complex and beautiful. I like the way that it balances that nice touch of floral with something so earthy and grounded. If you're a fan of, let's say, Fumabot from Couteau de Poche and you love that smoky oak moss in the base, you're gonna get something like that in this fragrance. I love it. It's definitely my style and I hope you love it, too.
