Mancera Aqua Wood Eau de Parfum was developed in 2020 by the eternal perfumer and creator of the brand, Pierre Montale. The sophisticated composition captures the luxury and sophistication of oriental notes intertwining with floral accords, embodying a mysterious image of strength and weakness, two opposites of one nature.
The olfactory pyramid of Mancera Aqua Wood Eau de Parfum:
Top notes sparkle with refreshing citrusy motifs and juicy pear shades.
Heart notes reveal slightly bitter ginger, smoking patchouli leaf, and royal Turkish rose undertones.
Base notes are woven from warm amber, seductive white musk, balsamic benzoin, and soothing incense overflows.
Perfumes should be aged. I had a sample for a year, and now I tried it, and the scent is beautiful. To me, it seems more suitable for spring, but I believe it will also sound great in other seasons. It exudes freshness, and you want to capture and inhale it. I can't say that it's loud or heavy; it's a pleasant scent that somehow associates with a seaside vacation. It's a fragrance that doesn't create a sense of urgency; maybe it smells like morning dew. Monsera and similar scents are very specific and need time to develop. I think if you don't want to be disappointed in the scent, it's better to buy a sample and wear it for a while.
After some time, I would like to amend my rating for this fragrance to a four. Perhaps it has settled or my perception has changed, but it lasts throughout the workday. In terms of scent, it is slightly bitter. Overall, it is pleasant. However, precisely because there is nothing shocking about it, it is also universal. I believe it has a higher chance of appealing to those who often indulge in luxury rather than niche fragrances.
In terms of scent, it is rather standard and doesn't smell much better than any 300 UAH Oriflame perfume. The longevity is not great either. When compared to other men's fragrances like Cedrat Boise and Wind Wood, they are more captivating.
