Valuable Stick EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A brisk, modern aquatic with sparkling citrus and salty blue accents. Explorer Ultra Blue is perfect for daily wear when you want to feel crisp, clean and effortlessly confident.
Valuable Stick chases Mancera's Gold Intensive Aoud - that opulent rose-saffron-and-oud signature over musky woods. Wearers rate the dupe close to the original, opulent and far from harsh, though it loses a little of Mancera's famous projection. A refined, affordable rosy-oud for those who love the Mancera house style.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The vibrant citrus, aquatic and ozonic notes make this fragrance ideal for warm weather, particularly spring and summer, while it lacks the warmth and density required for colder winter days.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean and non-intrusive character is perfect for daytime, office and casual use, while moderate projection and versatility also work for sporty occasions. Less suited to formal evening wear.
Seasons
The rosy-saffron-oud and musky woods are most at home in autumn, winter and cooler spring days, while staying wearable thanks to the fresh opening.
Occasions
A refined, opulent rosy-oud that suits evenings, dates and formal wear, with enough polish for smart daily use.
