Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera Paris Eau de Parfum Spray 120ml

Product Information

Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. And the combination of something rather heavy like Aoud (by the way this is the correct transcription from Arabic) with fresh notes promises to be exciting. I see it suitable for fall and spring(could potentially work in some warmer winter days also), as it has some freshness that's balanced by a thick woody, vetiver and vanillic base. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

However, once this hits the mid then the beautiful oud comes through a little bit, as well as the almond and citrus calms down a little bit. In fact they're very similar save for the addition of lavender and tonka that are in Addictive Oriental.With this release, I love how the sticker comes in gold color which does a great contrast to the stunning blue/green/yellow gradient of the bottle coloration. With slight variations in bottle appearance, each Mancera is presented in tall and cylindrical shapes flacons, easily distinguished as Mancera. Like one spray is all thats needed under the shirt because overspraying this one would cause some headaches. As it transitions to the heart you begin to get the jasmine which deepens into a grape-leaning sweet citrus white-floral addition which supports and continues the lemon for the duration which takes on a candied lemon vibe.

One final note: The fragrance to which this is the most similar, in my experience, is Addictive Oriental, created by Alberto Morillas in 2015 for the Mercedes Benz VIP Collection. Simply exquisite Manceras take on a blue fragrances with a twist the oud is minimal and not pungent at all just adds a oriental tone to the composition. you smell like a mojito", "I´ve never smelled something like that", "you smell so sexy", "you smell so cozy", "you smell so cute" (? As time goes by, the almond first takes the main role from the lemon, after that, the oud is the strongest player. I'll try to macerate it for 1 month since others have said that it helps particularly for citrus fragrances and i'm really hoping that will do the trick and change my impression of this scent.

Your main Accords are Citrus, Oud, Almond, aromatic, vanilla, nutty, fruity, sweet, Woody and Fresh Spicy. It strikes me however generally that the classification as 'fresh' is met much more frequently than I would do it myself. During my time with this scent which stands as one of the most hyped Mancera fragrances, I found it to be a versatile companion during the casual colder months.

To my nose the opening is a fresh lemon lime with very noticeable coriander that adds a splash of zest. Paradisone's aroma is fairly distinct and it's quite apparent here, not to mention the fact that jasmine is also listed in Aoud Lemon Mint's note pyramid. It's strong enough for winter, but I would not recommend this on a hot summer day unless you want to choke someone out. Hay que darle tiempo por que la salida puede ser algo fuerte pero a la hora evoluciona muy bien, tiene buena duración.Now to the fragrance itself, the title focuses on Oud, Lemon (here converted as Mandarin and Lemon) and Mint. As far as Mancera goes this is average in performance, good but not as good as lots of the other Mancera scents.

What I DO smell a lot of in this fragrance, is a creamy almond, hint of vanilla, light oud that sits in the background with some musk.One thing that each Mancera perfume box includes is a faux leather perfume bag which is nice and handy even for keeping other stuff inside besides the actual perfume. It starts fresh with a really really bitter and green almond that ripens and gets sweeter and sweeter. Starts rather fresh- I mainly get citruses, sone almond and a lot of jasmine(one of the few fresh notes that I like). Up close this has a very similar smell to Individual or Original Santal, that dryer sheet smell, but way better. smells so goddamn nice", then another girl comes and says "yeah, I wanted to ask what is that nice scent trail I´ve been smelling since you got here", I was speechless, told them it was a Mancera, then most of the night I got girls smelling me, sometimes I thought it was gone because I couldn´t smell it anymore (turns out you get olfactory fatigue eventually), I pulled the neck of my shirt and BAM, a punch to the nose like saying "YEAH, I´M STILL HERE SUCKER!
