Mancera Black Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre Montale. Black Gold opens with Citrus, Lavender, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Mancera's Black Gold carries an Acquired verdict, a lavender-led wear.

Black Gold is a divisive one. You'll either get an incredibly luxurious, clean, and masculine lavender-leather dream, or a headache-inducing floral soap that reminds you of your nan. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry truly dictates the experience.

About

Black Gold opens with a fresh, spicy zest of citrus, nutmeg, and cinnamon, quickly followed by a clean, aromatic burst of lavender. The heart unfolds with a bouquet of rose, violet, and jasmine, tempered by an unexpected oceanic freshness and earthy patchouli. The drydown settles into a sophisticated base of smooth leather, woody notes, amber, and musk, offering a refined warmth that lingers.
