Mandragore is the latest fragrance release from the line. It was developed by her daughter Camille in collaboration with, the house nose. Mandragore is, as far as I know, the first fragrance to feature the scent of mandrake, a Eurasian plant with purple flowers and a forked root, long thought to have magical powers.

The other notes include bergamot, black pepper, ginger, spearmint, star anise, boxwood, and sage leaf. Mandragore starts out with dense bergamot and spice notes. The pepper, anise, and ginger are all distinct. After a few minutes, the mandrake (or what I assume to be the mandrake, having never smelled one before) arrives, along with a little tinge of mint.

It smells green, and sort of vegetal, and there are definite herbal-woody undertones that are probably from the boxwood. The men’s bottle (the square one shown above) is one of the nicest I’ve seen lately, so I really wanted to love Mandragore. And I do rather like it in the early stages. It is a refreshing, summery unisex fragrance, and has a nice kick from the spices. Unfortunately it faded very quickly on me, and what was left after 45 minutes was less interesting — just a light, vaguely green smell with a hint of menthol.

For buying information, see the listing for. (see review below) Another update: an interesting snippet from an, in which she talks about the inspiration for Mandragore: I have always been a fan of folklore and I adore Harry Potter. It reminded me of my childhood when I read it to my daughters. I had always been a little girl to my mother, Annick, even when I was old enough to live independently. After she was gone, the little girl in me somewhat submerged. With Mandragore, I hope to bring out the little child in all adults, to revisit fairy tales and the folklore that we were once so familiar with.

Update #3, 8/18/2006: I am finally getting around to trying the Eau de Parfum version of Mandragore which was released in the fall of last year. It is absolutely perfect. It is still not an all day perfume, mind you, but it is hard to see how you could make it last all day without changing the composition more drastically than has been done here; this version has reasonable lasting power while retaining the crispness and verve of the Eau de Toilette. The woody-herbal undertones are somewhat more pronounced, and the boxwood more easily identifiable, but otherwise it smells largely the same. It stands up beautifully to hot, humid weather.

All that is left is to wish that it came in the lovely men's bottle with the gold etching, but unfortunately it does not. The Eau de Parfum is available online at in the UK at £52.00 for the 'regular' bottle, or at in the US in the more expensive ($160). It can also be purchased directly from Annick Goutal in a.

Serge Lutens wants to explore the mysterious places between the moon and the earth through contrasting elements of black, white, silver, and plush cream. His new L'orpheline begins with the night sky, pitch black from smoky incense, then pierced by the silver light of the moon's sparkling aldehydes. Billowing clouds of myrrh add to the impression of crystal clear brightness, but they are also cool in the style of an Avignon incense fragrance.

The incense and aldehydes swirl, dance, and weave their way down to earth where they settle on a pillow of cashmere woods and delicately spiced warmth. Very quickly, L'orpheline transforms itself into the most addictive blend of smoky, woody cream.

Clean musk, amber, and a hint of spices dust the soft woods, but the fleecy softness outweighs them all. In its drydown, L'orpheline is like an angora blanket that hugs your skin with comforting, delicate coziness, giving you a gentle caress of meditative incense and pillow-soft creaminess.
