Screaming Mandragora

Recommended Posts

I got this plus a few other mysterious looking frimps in a Trading Post order. It smells like damp soil that lots of greenery has been growing in. Not stinky or unpleasant - the soil does not have compost or fertiliser or yucky things in it, it's just damp soil.

I safeguard my Screaming Mandragora frimp because I know I'm unlikely ever to get another one. It's marvelous on me, managing to be earthy but not heavy. There's a balancing fruitiness and acidity, almost a cotton candy scent in the imp that becomes richer as it dries. I wear it when I want to be grounded but optimistic.

In the imp: A rooty, purple fruit that's earthy and also appears to have a cherry Chapstick vibe?

On my skin: Still distinctly purple with that Chapstick vibe. But not cherry... then it veers into something like a plastic-y coconut note on my skin while still retaining that rooty, purple vibe. Is this supposed to be ube in non-ice cream form and poorly represented by my skin chemistry? :P But then it starts reminding me of that smell of when you've worn a pencil eraser down and are flinging all of the eraser remnants off of a desk? And the fruit is sweeter now, and no longer purple. Maybe it's a waxy apricot?

 

Verdict: This one just doesn't seem to work with my skin chemistry, so I'll pass it on to someone else who would like to try it.

Kind of like an apple scent, but weird. Maybe a little bitter or a little fermented? It's light and bright and fruity with a touch of "huh, what's that?" I had no idea what to expect when I tested it, but I think I like it!
