What wearers say
“Oud, Oud and then some! But it starts off medicinal, this is not just the usual animalic filth, it develops a little dirtier over time, but for several hours what you get is a strong and pungent spicy Oud. Very well blended, very masculineAfter several hours the leather and rose notes become more distinctive but the spicy barnyard aspect of Oud is ever present reigning supreme over all notes. Longevity and sillage are literally enormous, another plus! Mancera is a brand worth exploring. Very impressed!”
“First, no aoud whatsoever. There is a barely detectable, slightly animalic rose in the far drydown.This is a MUSK fragrance - musk, musk, musk and more musk. A very good representation of musk; maybe one of the better musk fragrances to be released in the past 20 years.Very one-dimensional, but good for layering.Utterly bombastic performance.”
“Excellent oud fragrance! Very clean and bright, less medical than Montale's similar compositions. Pretty unisex, not too rosy and sweet, super long lasting. Really good stuff!!!”
