Mandorle Extrait by Sora Dora comes from perfumers Camille Chemardin, Amelie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel, and reads as a boozy, nutty gourmand built for cold weather. Suede, rum, tonka bean and vanilla open it warm and slightly sweet. Heliotrope and almond move into the heart, giving it that marzipan-like richness the name promises. The base turns cosy: cacao, white musk, caramel, woodsy notes and cashmere wood, close to the skin and lightly sweet rather than sugary. Launched in 2021, it is unisex and suits anyone who wants a gourmand with some backbone. Voters wear it in winter and autumn, mostly in the evening and at night. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, and the sillage vote leans strong, so it holds well without shouting. A 3ml decant is a good way to try it before the colder months set in.

Mallow is powdery and sweet, made for anyone who likes almond and musk. Mandorle Extrait is the darker almond, deepened with cacao.
