An audacious and alluring oriental scent. Slightly bitter yet surprisingly gourmand with a hint of darkness… One of a kind! Mancera Sand Aoud is created by Pierre Montale and launched in 2011. As the name suggests, this unisex fragrance is built on the deep and vibrant scent of oud, also known as agarwood. The accords present in this perfume heavily feature spices as well, particularly in the opening alongside black currant. Incense, paired with rose and saffron, emerges in the heart of the fragrance before leading into the agarwood base, also including vanilla, patchouli and white musk. The heavy warmth persists throughout the day, stirring the senses and the spirit through a brisk morning and into the evening.
"Mancera fragrances hold the secrets of the Orient, the endless desert, scorching sun, and timeless beauty. They are made with the most exquisite aromatic ingredients such as agar wood, precious resins, leather, or saffron. All Mancera perfumes will make you feel unique and indulgent.
The brand was founded in 2008 in Paris as an initiative of Al Athar, one of the biggest fragrance distributors in the Persian Gulf area, making Mancera perfumes some of the most authentic scents for any admirer of oriental fragrances. Based on extensive experience, the owner of ""Al Athar"" asked a group of designers and perfumers, including Pierre Montale who is world famous for his Montale collection, to create a large-artistic perfume brand. Mancera perfumes differ deliberately from typical oriental fragrance brands. From the start the idea was to create intensive, highly concentrated perfumes with predominantly western appeal and some exceptional aoud fragrances. "
