Luckyscent Videos: 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 an old-school vintage chypre. 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.
