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.

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 Summer Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its strong sillage and sweet accords, Maniac is better suited for casual and date nights where its playful character can shine. It lacks the subtlety for office wear and feels too youthful for formal occasions.

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.
