Delicious Devil's Dung
If I researched correctly, Tara Mantra has something to do with Buddhist meditation. In any case, I found something about the green Tara Mantra, which is said to protect against 8 dangers. Anyone who wants to know more should consult the all-knowing search engine.
As with the other two fragrances from the Gri Gri brand, the listed fragrance components are thematically and geographically associated with a tattoo style, and in the case of Tara Mantra, that could be Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
I also had to look up some of the ingredients, and I was most surprised by Asant, the devil's dung. This is a spice that is apparently supposed to taste very strong and bitter like garlic and is also called stink-asant. Olfactorily, thankfully, I can't detect anything of that in the fragrance, but I'm curious to see who can pick out this note.
Tara Mantra is a very spicy perfume with a consistently pleasant, almond-like sweetness, earthy spicy patchouli, and a finely exotic floral nuance, where the jasmine is kept well in check.
If you overlook the somewhat strict opening, I find Tara Mantra rather monothematic.
In the opening, saffron is the dominant note for me, and cardamom only comes into play for me after 20 minutes together with the patch.
All in all, the fragrance has a certain wellness character for me.
The longevity is top-notch at 12 to 14 hours, and the sillage decreases from very strong to moderate with the duration of wear.
Tara Mantra just barely misses my wish list.
