Narcotica Maniac is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Claude Dir. Maniac opens with Clementine, Lemon, Apple, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Ambroxan, Ambrette, Coconut, and Strawberry, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Narcotica's Maniac carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Maniac by Narcotica is wildly divisive - you’ll either revel in its sweetness or find it cloying and synthetic. It’s loud, it’s fun, and it’s not for the faint-hearted.

About

Maniac opens with a vibrant burst of zesty lemon, juicy apple, and ripe raspberry, enhanced by a whisper of cool mint. As it transitions, sweet coconut and succulent strawberry take centre stage, evoking images of summer treats and fruit cocktails. The dry down reveals a luscious base of smooth vanilla, warm ambergris, and sticky brown sugar, wrapping you in an all-encompassing sweetness that feels both playful and nostalgic. It’s an indulgent fragrance that’s reminiscent of childhood delights, packed with personality and a sunny vibe.
