Room 1015
Purple Mantra
First Impressions: medicinal. I was not expecting it to have that medicinal scent. I’m also smelling the base notes already with the sage. This one might be in the same category as the Voodoo Lily from last week. Although this is a softer version of that.
Final Thoughts: I was spot on when I said that this was a softer version of Voodoo Lily. Overall, I find this to be more wearable than Voodoo Lily. It still does have the mirrored notes that you will find in an occult store, but it’s very much more of a softer, even more feminine smell. I think the medicinal opening that I got came from the lavender.
Also, this does last way longer than eight hours. I fell asleep after coming home late from work and it was still on my skin this morning.
Top Notes: Lavender, Freesia, Pink Berries
Middle Notes: Iris, Floral Transparent, Clary Sage
Base Note: Incense, Myrrh, Ambroxan, Musk

When I first experienced Room 1015 Purple Mantra, I was intrigued by its unmistakably medicinal aroma, which sets it apart from many floral fragrances. The combination of lavender and freesia at the top adds a fresh yet calming aroma that immediately invokes a sense of tranquility and clarity. It's not just a floral scent; the addition of pink berries brings a subtle fruity brightness that lifts the composition without overpowering its herbal quality. The heart of this perfume is particularly captivating due to the presence of iris, floral transparent notes, and clary sage. Clary sage provides an aromatic, slightly earthy dimension that enhances the medicinal character mentioned earlier, tying the fragrance's herbal and floral elements together seamlessly. Many might find this middle phase reminiscent of natural remedies, which adds an intriguing sophistication. What really makes Purple Mantra stand out is its base. Incense and myrrh create a warm, resinous foundation that lends a spiritual, almost mystical aura to the perfume. The ambroxan and musk notes contribute to its longevity and depth, ensuring that the fragrance lingers softly on the skin rather than fading away quickly. This results in a scent profile that evolves beautifully throughout the day. From my experience, Purple Mantra is a versatile choice, suitable for both day and evening wear, especially in cooler seasons when its warmth and complexity offer comfort. It reminds me of Voodoo Lily, but with a gentler touch that I personally found more wearable for everyday occasions. For those who appreciate niche perfumes with an herbal twist and a balanced structure, Purple Mantra is worth exploring. In summary, the Room 1015 Purple Mantra Eau de Parfum is a refined and layered fragrance that blends medicinal, floral, and resinous notes into a harmonious and wearable scent. If you enjoy perfume journeys that reveal new facets over time, this one definitely deserves a place in your collection.
