Mandragola

by Paolo Terenzi

V Canto Mandragola is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Paolo Terenzi. Mandragola opens with Saffron, Absinth, Bergamot, and Lime, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Petitgrain, and Guaiac Wood. V Canto's Mandragola carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Mandragola is pure 'sex in a bottle.' Expect compliments, but don't expect it to be a safe blind buy. It's potent, dark, and utterly addictive.

About

Opens with a boozy, slightly bitter hit of absinthe and lime, quickly followed by the rich, complex spice of saffron. The heart unfolds into a velvety rose and jasmine, intertwined with the deep, grounding presence of guaiac wood and musk. The dry down is a smooth, long-lasting blend of dark oud, warm amber, and creamy woods, offering a mysterious and seductive aura.
