What do reviewers say about Mandragore Pourpre and Fille en Aiguilles?
The star anise and mint opening is confrontational in the best way. No safe bergamot-and-wood approach here, this is a fragrance that asks something of you. Wear it anyway.Mandragore Pourpre
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
