Mancera

Aoud Lemon Mint EDP

2016

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, daytime, 7-9 hours with moderate projection.

The take

  • Versatile spring-through-fall wear
  • Good value in the Mancera range

Trade-offs

  • Oud is very restrained — hardcore oud fans will want more
  • Mint can smell toothpaste-adjacent on some skins
