Sora Dora Gladiator Extrait
Description
Sora Dora's original 2021 Gladiator, in full Extrait de Parfum strength. Created by Amélie Bourgeois, Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Camille Chemardin, it opens with grapefruit, pineapple and bergamot, moves through a peppermint-and-geranium heart, and settles into green apple, patchouli, vetiver and cedar. Reviewers note that at Extrait strength you can pick out the mint mixing with apple and citrus in the opening, drying down into orange, light white florals and tonka bean.
How It Differs From Gladiator EDP
- Concentration: this is the original 2021 formula at full Extrait strength; the Eau de Parfum is a lighter 2024 companion release.
- Longevity & sillage: this Extrait runs 7–9 hours with moderate-to-strong throw; the EDP runs 4–6 hours with closer-to-skin projection.
- Use case: reach for this Extrait when you want it to last through an evening out; reach for the EDP for daytime office/everyday wear.

Translation: a fresh, green-citrus fragrance with a woody dry-down, Sora Dora's data records a small oud figure here, but there's no agarwood anywhere in the note pyramid; we've folded that share into the Woody figure above, which is what the patchouli-vetiver-cedar base actually delivers.
