Mandorla Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is extremely divisive, with some finding it a heavenly, elegant lily and others an absolute disaster of synthetic 'hay' or 'bathroom cleaner'. Clearly, you'll need to sample this one on skin to see where you stand.
Mandorla is Aromara's Extrait take on Acqua di Parma's Mandorlo di Sicilia, a creamy Sicilian almond gourmand. The almond-vanilla core is close to the original's signature, though the orange blossom and heliotrope heart reads a little sweeter and less powdery-refined than AdP's more restrained Mediterranean-inflected blend.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, subtle floral composition make it perfect for office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. While too delicate for a bold formal statement, its elegance suits a date or a more understated evening occasion. It's definitely not a sports fragrance.
Seasons
A warm, sweet almond-vanilla gourmand suits cool autumn and winter wear; it feels heavy and cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Cozy and comforting rather than polished, it fits casual and date settings well but is too sweet to read as office-appropriate.
