Mancera

Of the Wild

Of the Wild by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with strawberry and heliotrope, moves into orange blossom, jasmine and patchouli and dries down to vanilla, toffee, musk and vetiver. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Strawberry Sweet and candied. Rarely smells like the real fruit.
• Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.

Heart

• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Toffee Buttery burnt sugar. Denser and chewier than caramel.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
