Simsalakadabra and twice colorful cat
Theophrastus (371 - 287 B.C.) wrote in a very serious treatise that when one picks the mandrake, looking east, one must draw three circles with a sword around the mandrake, then dance around and talk as much as possible. I didn't have a sword with me in the perfumery, but isn't the feather more powerful than the sword anyway? (If it is a very large pointed feather perhaps.)
On another scent by Annick Goutal you can read on the official website that the powers of the mandrake are legendary (according to the pyramid there is no mandrake in it at all). "The mandrake can avert lightning and make it into love potions" (well, I don't find Mandragore really animal or sexually stimulating; animal peppermint would be something like squaring the circle and to avert lightning I'd rather use a lightning rod). "In the furthest corner of a workshop, through a thin veil of star anise, the mandrake elixir unfolds its mystical and aromatic scent." Yeah, that's the purple stuff, because the original version, Mandragore, doesn't exist anymore. Of course, old bottles don't fizzle out in the air like hallucinations caused by mandrake, so don't take the non-existence too literally.
One of these women in the back corners of shops recently sprayed me with mandrake elixir from an old bottle and only afterwards realized that she could no longer sell it to me. I had a pretty quiet day, by the way. What actually happens if you don't talk so much while picking the mandrake?
I liked the smell. Mandragore is first bergamoty fresh and then minty with some anise. I never thought I'd like mint even though I know Mandragore Pourpre. I wasn't sure I liked that one. Green Mandragore is probably better for me than purpurnes.
I like the scent, but the durability of the Eau de Toilette is really underground, a good 4 hours. I didn't know that at the store, of course. The projection is okay at the beginning, but then becomes very close.
As if by magic ("Please", for example, is also a magic word), I finally found a Mandragore bottle, the contents of which I now eagerly familiarize myself with. I got the men's bottle. It's solidly functional. Nice sticker, metal lid.
I think Mandragore is more suited to men (and me) and I honestly don't know why it belongs mainly to women. I'll wear mandragore more in my spare time. Although the low projection also makes the perfume workable. For going out, you might want to wear something with more wumms. Chess is also a sport, you could wear it for that or curling.
