- benzoin
- champaca

- marigold
- oakmoss
- osmanthus

- sandalwood

Floral leathers are at times hard to decipher. The floral nuances spread on top of dark woody and resinous materials cross the airy threshold and become dark and mysterious.
This is the case of Mandarava - a totally enigmatic perfume. Firstly, there are so many heady flowers in it: champaca, osmanthus, gardenia, yang-ylang, marigold and more. Each flower has a complex aroma of its own and when combined they become a strange infinite floral boquet.
Secondly, these flowers sit between aldehydes which in perfumery have an effect of frosted glass and distort familiar aromas. Then there is a maze of dark woody aromas: oud, benzoin, incense, Mysore sandalwood and animalic civet lurking in the darkest corners of that maze.
However, all this complexity makes sense eventually. It's not confusing but more of a Russian doll effect, albeit all of the dolls are translucent and the central one is visible behind all the layers.
For advanced/experienced users of perfume.

Perfumer: Alexandra Carlin
An ambery floral universe carefully put together with stunning night blooming flowers.
The formula features an accord of Galant de Nuit, also called night blooming jasmine (technically not a jasmine, but a plant closer related to potatoes). This gentle flower cannot be distilled, but its captivating fragrance has been recreated for Bloomastral with the help of a very specific jasmine variety. The perfumer used a particular jasmine which can only be harvested in Egypt within the space of two weeks in August. There is also a delicious, fruity and honeyed osmanthus theme. Finally, the oud oil adds extra mystery and darkness to the story.

Tsarina is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection, and represents a romantic view of the Eastern lands known variously throughout history as Moscovia, the Russian empire, USSR, and now, Russia.
These fabled landscapes are the setting for Slavic folk tales about the cannibal witch Baba Yaga, the three headed dragons, and many brave maidens ruling over kingdoms. This region which is also the setting for beloved classic literature including War and Peace and Eugene Onegin.
Tsarina/Царица is an ancient title for a female ruler of these lands, whether imaginary or real. Tsarina the perfume has romantic references to fairy tales and the opulence of courts: delectable candied citruses, the waxy, melted candle-like nuance of sandalwood, and the fine leather/fur presence provided by orris and labdanum.
