About

Manic opens with an intriguing aromatic greenness from mastic and mint, swiftly followed by a spicy kick of pink pepper and coriander. The heart reveals a rich, dark tapestry of smoky incense and leathery accords, softened by the warmth of vanilla and amber. Oakmoss and sandalwood provide an earthy, woody depth, culminating in a mysterious, musky trail that evokes a shadowy, enchanted forest.
