Masque Milano Mandala Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Christian Carbonnel. Mandala Oud opens with Angelica, Cardamom, Frankincense, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Cinnamon, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, and Ambergris. Masque Milano's Mandala Oud carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. Despite the 'oud' in the name, it's the ambergris and aldehydes playing lead, much to the chagrin of some. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it response; it's either a complex, resinous journey or a 'fake oud' scrubber.

About

Mandala Oud opens with a bright, almost cheesy burst of aldehydes and a spicy kick of cardamom, immediately setting a unique, slightly challenging stage. This quickly settles into a rich, warm heart of sandalwood, nutmeg, and clove, underscored by balsamic myrrh. The base is where the amber, with its warm, animalic depth, truly shines, alongside a subtle, resinous oud and musky undertones. It’s a journey from airy spice to deep, woody warmth.
