Room 1015 Purple Mantra EDP

Description

Room 1015 Purple Mantra EDP channels The Beatles' 1968 pilgrimage to Rishikesh into scent. Perfumer Serge de Oliveira builds a lavender-and-incense meditation around frankincense and myrrh that Fragrantica reviewers have called a genuine "olfactory tranquilizer" — though not everyone agrees it's calming; some find it too loud and resinous to read as soothing. Either way, it's one of Room 1015's most structurally complex releases, balancing floral lavender against a smoky incense backbone.

Scent Character

• Floral — 36%
• Woody — 23%
• Smoky & Resinous — 18%
• Fresh — 9%
• Spicy — 9%
• Sweet — 5%

Translation: a floral-woody incense build — closer to a meditative lavender-resin blend than a classic gourmand "purple" scent.
