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.

The perfume is named after a heroine from Ramayana, the ancient Hindu epic. She was a stunningly beautiful, devoted and pious wife of a king and in her time had to manage her husbands temper, the wrath of the gods and participate in politics and the kingdom's affairs in general while negotiating with an army of Hanuman's celestial monkeys.
So the perfume formula is a vintage femme fatale accessory with intoxicating jungle flowers, an accord of sweet opium and a bit of film noir tobacco smoke.
***
Mandodari is the reincarnation of the perfumer's earlier formula - Morah.

Ultimate vintage glory. Mandodari Mandodari feels like it belongs to the era before the mass production and synthetic musks took the industry over. It’s a complex blend featuring precious rich floral absolutes and animalic bases.
This perfume (at 48% strength) is double the concentration of the original Mandodari. The perfumer adds extra smokiness with the tropical sal tree absolute (choya raal) and a tree ash accord (cade oil + birch tar).
Absolutes of rose de Mai, jasmine grandiflorum, orange blossom, tuberose as well as natural ambergris and civet steer the formula in the vintage dimension. There is an intentional YSL’s Opium spicy cameo too.
