Long used in Wiccan ritual, its roots were thought to emit a fatal, supersonic scream when dug up. Because mandrake actually smells of strong red apple, we gave the fragrance a red fruity heart but grounded it with birch leaf and birch root to suggest the roots of the flower dug into the soil. We also gave the fragrance a sharp aromatic note to suggest its infamous, deadly shriek. Finally 'Deadly Addiction Accord' lends a creamy, gourmand wood quality to pull it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50 ml eau de parfum spray\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e$165.00\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 ml eau de parfum sample\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e$5.00\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quartana","offers":[{"title":"50 ml eau de parfum","offer_id":43459416850491,"sku":"20505050","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 ml eau de parfum","offer_id":43459416883259,"sku":"20505001","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/8669\/0107\/files\/mandrake.webp?v=1777304133"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/8669\/0107\/collections\/carlos_vinals-678x1024.webp?v=1777767731","url":"https:\/\/fumerie.com\/collections\/carlos-j-vinals.oembed","provider":"Fumerie Parfumerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
