Goutal Mandragore Pourpre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Isabelle Doyen and Camille Goutal. Mandragore Pourpre opens with Bergamot, Star Anise, and Mint, settles into a heart of Amber, Geranium, Pepper, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Heliotrope, Myrrh, and Incense. Goutal's Mandragore Pourpre carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This "witchy" scent is a unique, naturalistic herbal blend. Lovers praise its mysterious, elegant depth and surprising freshness, though some find it a bit too subtle with weak longevity. It's a potion for those who like their fragrance ethereal yet grounded.

About

Imagine stepping into a dew-kissed herb garden at dawn: a fresh, airy burst of star anise mingles with cool mint and bright bergamot. As the light deepens, a peppery warmth emerges, spiced with rosemary and a hint of geranium, grounded by a subtle, earthy current of patchouli, amber, and myrrh. The heliotrope adds a delicate, powdery, violet-like sweetness, rounding out a mysterious yet elegant aroma.
