Sora Dora Mandorle EDP
Description
The 2024 Eau de Parfum companion to Sora Dora's original 2021 Mandorle Extrait, same almond-and-leather gourmand, lighter concentration. Mandorle opens with almond, cocoa absolute and tonka bean, drops into an icy-cherry heliotrope-and-suede heart, and dries down into caramel, vanilla and white musk.
How It Differs From Mandorle Extrait
- Concentration: this EDP is the lighter, 2024 companion; the Extrait de Parfum is the original 2021 formula at higher concentration (currently carried in tester bottles on Venba).
- Sweetness intensity: the Extrait reads noticeably sweeter/denser at full strength; this EDP is a softer, easier-to-wear version of the same gourmand.
- Use case: reach for this EDP for daytime or lighter evening wear; reach for the Extrait when you want maximum projection and longevity.
Scent Character
- Sweet: 59%
- Woody: 23%
- Leather (Suede): 9%
- Floral: 9%
Translation: a sweet almond-caramel gourmand carried by a woody-leather base. Its leathery depth can read close to oud, but there's no agarwood anywhere in Mandorle's note pyramid, that share actually corresponds to the suede/cashmere wood in the heart, so it's labeled Leather (Suede) here.

FAQ
Is this the EDP or Extrait?
This listing is the Eau de Parfum. Sora Dora also makes a Mandorle Extrait de Parfum with the same note pyramid at a stronger concentration.
Is it a men's or women's fragrance?
Unisex. Mandorle is worn and marketed for both.
Does it contain real oud?
No. Mandorle's published note pyramid has no agarwood; the leathery depth comes from suede and cashmere wood instead.
