Sora Dora | Mandorle | Extrait de Parfum Mandorle is an exceptionally dark, hypnotic fragrance from the independent French house Sora Dora. Conceived as an exploration of the ultimate seductive power of the almond note, the fragrance captures the essence of mystery, and raw sophistication. It opens with an incredibly rich, mouthwatering canopy of bitter almond mixed with the unexpected, fiery splash of a dark, boozy cocktail. It shifts smoothly into a heart of velvety cherry and soft leathery tones before grounding itself on a dense, smoky base of dark woods, amber, and rich vanilla.
