Altogether too much, straight-up lime in this for me. At the far drydrown, I was getting something nice and the lime had finally dissipated (like around 8 hrs). Not for me.

Annick Goutal's Mandragore reminds me of a scene in the 1980's vampire film The Lost Boys, when the main characters' grandpa says "....well that's about as close to town as I like to get." My...

I get rubbery lemongrass, aniseed, ginger and black pepper. The iris is very light, combining with the bergamot to give a very faint lemon baby powder feel on the dry down. Not keen on this...

A summery, citrusy fragrance that isn't sweet in the slightest. It opens with a big burst of scent that's lemony/peppery, then quiets down to something minty and herbal. I've seen complaints about...

This review is for the edt from a vial on card. Mandragore possesses so few ingredients that it almost presents as a linear perfume. Fresh Bergamot dominates the entrance, if only for a short...

The purple bottle and gold ribbon really called out to my inner-goth, as did the ad copy that said this featured a note from an obscure root thought to have magical powers, and that it was hoped by...

Most of Annick Goutal perfume are unisexe, the only thing that change is the bottle, the male perfume bottle are square, and the femal bottle is rounder. Mandragore is a unisexe perfume but I will...

A strange but pleasant fragrance, difficult to describe. I didn't get individual notes so much as an allover impression. It seems introverted but cheerful--similar to the impression Shaal Nur gave...

I wanted to like this a lot. It appears it's being marketed as a scent imbued with mysticism and witchery. The climate these days is really lending itself to that and despite the slightly cheesy...

This is probably one of the most bizarre fragrances I've ever sampled and owned. It's strange and yet captivating; a perfume that stays close to the skin and whispers its secrets. Each time I...

All I got from this fragrance was peppermint and anise. This is by no means a bad scent, but Mandragore is a fragrance that will only suit a select number of women (or men). Due to my complete lack...

Very light, airy scent, like an edt, it's fresh and light like a breath of air, yet slightly herbal, like a watered-down witches' brew. It has a nice rooty quality that smells subtly sweet, an...

I'm really not sure about this one. Firstly, I got this as a gift. The (older) gentleman who gave this to me said that he chose this fragrance as he thought that it smelt really unique and quite...

This is a lovely yet fleeting spicey-citrus. Perfect for the Summer. However, It does not last more than 1hour. I will not be re-purchasing for this reason.

My review is for Mandragore Pourpre. Bergamot and Anise! It is really sharp in the beginning but it mellows after a few minutes and remains a fresh and spicy citrus fragrance with character. It...

I hate most perfumes, so I bought this out of desperation to find something that wouldn't leave that chemical floral smell on me. I have to say I was pretty pleased. I like gender-neutral...

Unique fragrance. Somewhat sweet, yet soft. Licorice and anise and a little vanilla, yet citrusy all in one. I find I prefer it during cooler months.

I have grown to really love Mandragore, but, as with most Annick Goutals, it was an acquired taste for me. I first purchased it two summers ago and in fact I find I wear it almost exclusively in...

Even though I gave this fragrance a 4 out of 5, I don't think that I would pay full price for a bottle because the lasting power of this scent is in a word: "ephemeral" or in two words: "completely...

This is a nice clean and green citrus with a twisting note of mandragore, which is very rare to find in modern fragrances. Yet, this note alone does not save the fragrance from being, IMHO, very...
