What do reviewers say about Mandragore and The Ruthless Countess Dorothea?
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
This one has teeth it never shows. Opens citrus-spice, turns warm and waxy, then the vanilla pulls up a chair and stays. It's the kind of fragrance people either find hypnotic or don't understand at.The Ruthless Countess Dorothea
