Mancera Black To Black

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on saffron, cloves and bergamot, moves through rose, patchouli leaf and amber, and settles on agarwood (oud), leather and white musk.

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• clove: hot, numbing spice with a medicinal edge, like a dentist's surgery in the best case

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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