Mancera Aoud Blue Notes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Pierre Montale. Aoud Blue Notes opens with Green, Fruity, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Orris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Sandalwood, and Guaiac Wood. Mancera's Aoud Blue Notes carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive chameleon - some call it sophisticated and unique, others a bland, generic mess. If you're after a loud Mancera, look elsewhere; this is a more subtle, powdery-fresh floral with a fruity sweetness that splits opinions.

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, quickly entwining with abstract green and fruity notes. The heart blossoms into a powdery soft floral bouquet of iris, rose, and violet, sweetened by ylang-ylang. It settles into a creamy, smooth base of sandalwood, guaiac wood, amber, and a non-animalic leather, underscored by a hint of vanilla.
