Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil’s foot.”

COMMENTARY:In biblical scripture, mandrake was referred to as the love plant and was through to have male fertility enhancing properties. 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.
