Aoud Lemon Mint

“The bracing clarity of mint over a Persian oud — East meets West on a cool afternoon.”

Aoud Lemon Mint
citrus
aromatic
oud

Mancera's 2016 entry in the brand's signature oud-citrus line — bridges the heavier oud catalog with cleaner mainstream tastes. A citrus-mint-oud unisex fragrance with lemon, almond, and black pepper at the top, an oud-patchouli-jasmine-mint heart, and a vanilla-amber-white musk-leather base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, with moderate projection.
