Mancera: a guide to the house and which fragrance to start with

Mancera is a Parisian house with generous fragrances, often gourmand or spicy, that can be smelled and last. In our fragrance profiles, the nose behind all its fragrances is Pierre Montale, the same as Montale: this is why the two houses have a family resemblance. To start, choose Red Tobacco if you love warm fragrances, Instant Crush if you are looking for an amber floral, or Cedrat Boisé if you prefer something fresh.

The Mancera style

Compared to Montale, Mancera is often sweeter and more "modern": vanilla, fruit, sugar, spices. Many fragrances receive a 4 out of 5 for longevity in our fragrance profiles, and some even get a 5, such as Royal Vanilla and Intense French Riviera.
