The new magnetic cap versions of this fragrance have been reformulated and the end result was paid to the performance department without tinkering with the actual composition. 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.

After that, the bright citrus vibe will make way for the exotic floral heart notes like ylang-ylang, Jasmine, Rose, and Violet. For someone who usually enjoys subtler fragrances, this ain’t a problem, but it is something to consider if you are shopping for something stronger. Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera is a woody oriental fragrance for men and women and was released in 2016. The creator of this perfume is Pierre Montale. The opening is quite harsh and powerful, to the point that it hurts my nose. It smells like lemon cleaner, unlike Club de Nuit Intense Man, which has a different lemon scent. The fragrance is incredibly screechy and synthetic when smelled up close, but it smells better in the air.But, there are some fruity notes in there too, like green apple and white pear. And they help tone down the intensity.

As someone who has a lot of experience with Mancera in general, the hype and high expectations were justified from my side. What do you do if you already know the typical oud combos? You try something really exotic... that came to my mind a few weeks ago, sometime in June. As a fan of oud scents, I started looking for oud scents that were suitable for the summer season. What? some people might ask themselves now... this is a contradiction in terms. Well, actually it is. Oud, no matter if it smells like cow dung, has a medicinal touch or is of the sweetish kind, is actually more for the cold season...After you see one Mancera bottle, you have basically seen them all. With slight variations in bottle appearance, each Mancera is presented in tall and cylindrical shapes flacons, easily distinguished as Mancera.
