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

Product Information

This way, you can check out if a particular fragrance is worth checking out, and potentially find your signature perfume. I’m going to have to try it a few more times… or maybe it’ll change slightly as “air” gets in the bottle. Just as responsible for the fact that I wouldn't meet the classification as fresh are the discreetly gourmand notes of almond, which fortunately doesn't remind me of marzipan, and vanilla. I dont really detect much aoud in it but i do smell a lot of sweet lemon and mint along with other notes.

As far as Mancera goes this is average in performance, good but not as good as lots of the other Mancera scents.Actually it's perfect for Indian weather as it can persist for more than 12 hours no matter how much you sweat. Even the name seems wrong— It’s heavy on chemical almond, there’s minimal (and fast disappearing) lemon, next to no oud accord, and I can’t detect any mint at all. This fragrance is one of the strongest in my collection (Again the old bottle), I did not try the new magnetic cap bottle. Younger crowds will be right at home, and the playful nature of the composition suggests that from the first spray until the dry down.

It is very unique, I can say it is fresh oud because of the citruses, but still it has depth from the heavy creamy almond and vanilla. Perhaps it would have been good with a bright natural lemon, a crisp peppermint and an earthy oud, but that isn't how Mancera chose to go.Let me tell you, if you end up going to a closed small room meeting, you will be told this is strong. Very unique fragrance, it's fresh and woody but not the usual wood notes that in most fresh and aquatic fragrances. The mint is a phantom note as there's no mint ingredient - at least not mentioned - but the overall smell sort of has a minty feel.
