What do reviewers say about Mandragore and Fille en Aiguilles?
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
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
