Mancera

Gold Intensitive Aoud

Gold Intensitive Aoud by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, moves into rose, geranium and saffron and dries down to amber and white musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.

Heart

• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
• Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
