Mancera Black Intensive Aoud is a spicy oriental scent that’s pleasantly warm and perfect for easy-going men and women. The spicy notes are immediately distinctive from the fragrance’s opening: cloves and pepper, with juicy peach to temper them. The heart features an accord curiously reminiscent of Turkish delight, with the scent of roses joined by jasmine, saffron and violet. Finally, the titular oud, or agarwood, forms the rich woody foundation of the perfume along with cedar, sandalwood and gurjan balsam. Designed by Pierre Montale and released in 2008, the scent remains intense and captivating through the day, the spices enriched by the floral and woody notes.
