Mancera Aoud Blue Notes EDP

Description

Mancera Aoud Blue Notes pairs a fruity-green citrus opening with a violet-rose-iris heart and a leather-sandalwood-vanilla base. Launched in 2015 by Pierre Montale, it's a fruity floral amber, despite the “Aoud” in the name, the published pyramid doesn't include agarwood, so the character here comes from green top notes and guaiac wood rather than actual oud.

Translation: A fruity floral amber, green citrus and bergamot lead into a violet-rose heart, resting on leathery sandalwood and vanilla. (Derived from the note pyramid, not a lab measurement.)

Performance
