Mancera Aoud Vanille Eau De Parfum - 120ml

Aoud Vanille by Mancera is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Top notes are agarwood (oud), saffron, black pepper and cardamom, middle note is floral notes, base notes are madagascar vanilla, guaiac wood and sandalwood. Warm, rich, mysterious and striking, Aoud Vanille is a captivating scent that hovers between oriental and gourmand. The aoud here is front and center, anchoring a powerful opening of sharp agarwood, savory cardamom and redolent saffron that quickly disavow any notions that this will be an overly dessert-y pushover. A floral heart softens things slightly in transition to the vanilla-driven base, but it’s a vanilla with backbone, anchored by a full bodied woodsiness that confirms Aoud Vanille’s unisex bona fides and keeps the central vein of aoud detectable for hours. If Aoud Vanille is a gourmand, then it’s one reminiscent of bold, adventurous cooking from a top tier chef, if it’s an oriental, it’s swathed in the precise, creamy comfort of a grand master. We’d prefer to think of it as the best of both worlds.
