Mancera Pink Prestigium

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on black currant, bergamot and agarwood (oud), moves through bulgarian rose, patchouli leaf and jasmine, and settles on grapefruit, guaiac wood and leather.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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