The extremely sensual golden bottle, with lips sculpted on its sides is inspired by the famous sofa designed by Salvador Dalí in 1974 as a tribute to Mae West.

The richness and intense sensuality of its trail leaves intertwined notes of royal leather, musks and precious woods. Sumptuous and mysterious, Fabulous Mandawa takes us to the heart of the Maharajahs' India" - a note from the brand.Fabulous Mandawa is available from 2017 in 100ml eau de Parfum flacons.
