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 Cedar, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Myrrh, and Ambergris. 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.

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.
