Warm ginger and star anise

Compared to Mandragore (which I enjoy) Mandragore Pourpre is richer and warmer, making it ideal for colder weather. The first minute is an intense blast of pepper and mint, with bergamot gradually increasing but less intense than in Mandragore. Next up is a very pleasant but fleeting rosemary note, soon joined then replaced by warm ginger and star anise – these two notes, as in the original Mandragore, are the most prominent on my skin. The anise is particularly lovely. We're then off to a patchouli/incense base with more caracter than Mandragore's (which is just lightly woody).

Really good and unusual, and a thumbs up from me. Very good longevity, moderate but noticeable sillage.

Still waters run deep

I got a sample vial of this one when I ordered at AlzD. The description sounded very promising to me.
Actually I have no clue what Mandragore is and how it usually smells like.
This one is a true unisex scent, maybe leaning a bit to the masculine side. It smells very natural. Maybe too natural. To my taste some of the Goutals lack abstraction. Sometimes I feel as if I was in a herb garden.
In the beginning I get a lot of anise, which I like. The scent is very herbal, and there is a beautiful incense note.
The drydown gets interesing and is better balanced. The herbal feel fades slightly but I still smell a slight herbal bitterness.
Can't say much about the longevity because I haven't had a full day trial yet. I got the impression that it stays close to the body, a still water. But close to the skin it has presence.
A beautiful scent, but not a clear buy. But I'll try again.

Update december 2011:
I tried again and liked it. I noticed a slight rubber note. But somehow it doesn't get me. When I had put it on my sisted asked me to stay away for her (well, don't take it too seriously, she hasn't got taste *lol*). She said that I smelled of cloves. Strange, it is not listed. Don't know if there was some Equipage lingering on my collar.

A richer and warmer Mandragore blend

I own the original Mandragore and to be completely honest, some days I like it, some days I don't. The sharp citrus notes are often too much for me, however with the release of Mandragore Pourpre, I've come to enjoy the composition minus the stinging citrus.

As Flannelman has mentioned, "Mandragore Pourpre is richer and warmer than the original". I find it a touch more masculine and mystical as well.

Opening with delectable mint and licoricey anise, with a touch of pepper, Mandragore Pourpre has me impressed. The composition tends to be a lot darker and ultimately richer.

The blend of geranium, incense and patchouli is wonderfully unique and tastefully done. In some instances I feel as if this could be the Winter version of Mandragore, however upon further thought, in my opinion this is just an improved and more complex version.

The lasting strength and sillage is good, yet not overpowering or particularly strong. As some have already mentioned, the longevity is much improved, yet it is still relatively weak.

I get a thick, syrupy espresso note for some reason, noticeably in the drydown, which eludes me. Perhaps it is just me that smells this, however I do believe it is what makes me like this fragrance so much.

Purple Mandrake

Mandragore Pourpre, compared to the original Mandragore, opens much darker, earthier and spicier. The bergamot and the mint are still present throughout the development. But it's no longer as green and crisp as Mandragore. The anise and the pepper turn the whole composition into another deeper colour.

In the drydown, Mandragore Pourpre has a sweeter facet than the original edition. The amber and the myrhh give an oriental vibe. If sniffed closely, the heliotrope and the incense are also distinguishable.

Although Mandragore Pourpre has quite a different character from the orginal Mandragore, their connection is evident: the same elements they share are embodied in the same way. Interestingly, Mandragore Pourpre has the same ethereal texture as the origianl edition even it's significantly spicer, which makes it inoffensive while keeping it stand out. The fact that it's spicer and darker, also helps to keep its strength and its vivacity, contrary to the original Mandragore which tends to fall bland in the drydown.

The sillage is relatively close even sprayed liberally. The longevity is around 6 hours, which is ok for an EDT. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. An interesting olfactory experience it shall be.

Joy of Plants

Fragrances like this one should be more common. If it were up to me, only this. Annick Goutal knows how to create something that is sorely needed in the perfume market, namely scents with a completely unartificial quality and the concentrated sprouting power of plants. There are so many eaux and whatever else, but which of them truly makes the buds explode and allows you to hear the cracking of the umbels? Perfumery is something that started with natural materials, but for my taste, it has drifted a bit into the overly cultivated. Human luxury, human exclusivity, personal attractiveness - all of that is actually quite outdated and irrelevant in the face of wild plants that grow freely like crazy and release the most wonderful fragrance materials that can make you genuinely happy in an unadulterated way.
Mandragore Pourpre is a very honest, straightforward scent. It has a truly lively herbal fraction that wonderfully clears the air and gives the fragrance its immense aromatic clarity. Especially the anise and mint have real bite and deserve individual praise. :)
From the ethereal base note, a very special floral note emerges over time, determined by the mandrake. It is dignifiedly feminine and enriches the herbal power with a very subtle sweetness. This strangely beautiful mixture flows more and more beautifully into one another over time and ultimately becomes a single, inseparable good fragrance that gently and lightly reaches perfect tranquility, especially due to the very velvety amber base.
On one hand, this scent is a prime example of wild radiance; on the other hand, it is simply a great composition with very understandable fragrance phases that blend together very finely. I would recommend all of you to give it a sniff!
