The story behind the bottle.
Purple Mantra by Room 1015 was launched in 2022 and crafted by Serge de Oliveira. This aromatic fragrance opens with the bright freshness of lavender and pink pepper, creating an immediate sense of clarity and energy. The heart notes of freesia and clary sage add a layer of floral softness, while the base of incense, myrrh, ambroxan, and musk brings warmth and depth. It is this interplay between fresh aromatic top notes and smoky, balsamic undertones that gives Purple Mantra its distinctive character.
Apply Purple Mantra lightly — the aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting. The smoky and balsamic base notes develop over time, so reapply if you want to maintain its full character throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
