Mendittorosa Mauna is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Cristiano Canali. Mauna opens with Pepper, Ginger, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Tonka Bean, and Styrax. Mendittorosa's Mauna carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, meditative sandalwood that's captured hearts, even if some found the opening a bit much. If you love sandalwood and can justify the price, this is a must-try for its unique, creamy depth.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

With long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Mauna is versatile, fitting well for dates, formal events, and even casual wear, but perhaps a bit too opulent for rigorous sport. Its calming, meditative quality makes it suitable for office environments where it won't overpower.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Mauna opens with a bold, almost tingling spice from black pepper and ginger, quickly softened by the spiritual hum of frankincense. As it settles, a creamy, enveloping sandalwood emerges, rich and warm, beautifully blended with the balsamic sweetness of benzoin. The dry down introduces a comforting whisper of musk, styrax, and tonka bean, leaving a velvety, serene trail that feels both ancient and modern.
