Black Gold

by Pierre Montale

Mancera Black Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre Montale. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Citrus, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Jasmine, and Sea Water, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Woody, and Musk.

Our verdict on Black Gold: Acquired

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.
