Mandorle is a rich, boozy suede fragrance with a bold cherry-almond opening that evolves into a smooth, creamy vanilla-musky base. The leather and suede notes dominate the initial wear, creating a dark, sensual character with a pronounced metallic almond and rum presence. It feels intimate yet long-lasting, making it ideal for cooler months and evening wear. The scent is unisex in approach but leans slightly masculine due to its leather and smoky character. While some note a strong resemblance to Cherry Carmex or Xerjoff Italica, the balance of sweet, gourmand elements — such as caramel, tonka bean, and heliotrope — keeps it from being overly cloying. The fragrance transitions from a sharp, tart cherry start to a warm, powdery base that lingers for hours, appealing to fans of deep, character-driven gourmands.
