Mancera Black to Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Pierre Montale. Black to Black opens with Bergamot, Clove, and Saffron, and settles into a heart of Amber, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine. Mancera's Black to Black carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive powerhouse, absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of bold rose-ouds with nuclear performance, Black to Black is a must-try - just be warned it can fill a room and some find it overbearing.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black to Black crashes in with a fierce, spicy opening of saffron and clove, spiced up with a whisper of bergamot, before plunging into a robust heart of jammy rose and earthy patchouli. A rich amber note provides warmth, all settling onto a deep, dark bed of leathery oud and smooth sandalwood. It’s a bold, unapologetic blend where the rose and oud duke it out for dominance, tempered by warm spices and a hint of animalic depth.
