Mancera Black Noir

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette.

It opens on black leather and pink pepper, moves through tobacco, tiare flower and cambodian oud, and settles on vanilla, tonka and haitian vetiver.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• tobacco: dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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