Mancera Aoud Blue Notes

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on fruity notes, lemon and bergamot, moves through violet, orris root and rose, and settles on guaiac wood, leather and amber.

• fruity notes: a general fruitiness rather than any one fruit
• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
