Gold Intensive Aoud

by Pierre Montale

Mancera Gold Intensive Aoud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Pierre Montale. The fragrance opens with Rainwater and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, Teak, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Ambergris.

Our verdict on Gold Intensive Aoud: Acquired

This one's a divisive rose-oud. Some find it a fresh, clean, opulent take on the classic combination, while others are put off by a persistent 'bleach' or 'antiseptic' opening. A Mancera with a strong 'love it or hate it' streak.

Gold Intensive Aoud is versatile enough for most settings due to its balanced projection, but its luxurious, sensual character especially suits evenings and dates. While some find it clean enough for daily wear, its prominent rose and wood accords might be a bit much for a formal office environment.

About

Gold Intensive Aoud opens with a surprising splash of rainwater and bright lemon, quickly giving way to a heart of rich, dewy rose and warm saffron. Underlying this floral-citrus freshness, a blend of guaiac wood and teak wood provides a sophisticated woody depth, culminating in a clean, musky, ambergris-driven dry down. It's an oriental floral reimagined with a modern, airy touch.
