Mandala

by Christian Carbonnel

Masque Milano Mandala is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Christian Carbonnel. Mandala opens with Angelica, Nutmeg, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Cedar, Clove, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Ambergris, and Myrrh. Masque Milano's Mandala carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive amber-incense rollercoaster. Some find it a bright, uplifting masterpiece, boasting an almost fruity effervescence. Others reckon it's a screechy, synthetic mess, a chaotic battle of notes, and a scrubber that just won't quit. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Mandala's strong performance and rich, spicy-balsamic nature make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for formal events or date nights where its luxurious character can shine. Its intensity means it's less ideal for casual wear or sport activities.

About

Mandala bursts forth with a vibrant, almost fruity frankincense and the green lift of angelica, spiced keenly by nutmeg and cardamom. As it settles, a warm, resinous core of labdanum, cinnamon, and clove emerges, intertwining with smoky incense and rich cedar. The drydown reveals a tapestry of creamy sandalwood, earthy oakmoss, luxurious ambergris, and the deep, balsamic warmth of myrrh, leaving a long-lasting, complex trail.
