Here's the thing about star anise in a cologne: it either pulls you in or it doesn't. This one leans into that green, almost medicinal sweetness, the kind that reads as anise in the air but smells.Mistral Patchouli
Some fragrances play it safe. Mandragore doesn't. The star anise and mint open cool and herbal, but there's aniseedy depth underneath that most people either love or find too strange.Mandragore
