Mandragola

Mandragola by V Canto is a dark, aromatic, and woody fragrance with a complex character that balances fresh citrus and sweet ambery base notes. It opens with a vibrant mix of bergamot, lime, saffron, and absinthe, creating a bright and slightly herbal top that quickly settles into a warm, floral heart of Bulgarian rose and jasmine melded with guaiac wood and musk. The core of the scent is defined by rich oud, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla, which give it a deep, sensual, and slightly sweet allure. The overall impression is one of bold elegance—very much in the vein of Kilian’s Black Phantom, though more transparent and less boozy, with a refined, dry, and aromatic finish that lingers for hours. It is particularly favored during winter and autumn, where its warmth and projection are most effective, and high sillage ensures it leaves a strong, romantic impact. Many describe it as mysteriously dark, gothic, and seductive—perfect for night wear, with the nuance to be worn in daytime settings for those seeking something distinct and provocative.
