“Candlelit, crimson-velvet, and unapologetically decadent.”
Mancera's 2017 launch — often grouped with PDM Carlisle in the spicy-tobacco luxury-niche masculine category. A warm-spicy-tobacco unisex fragrance with cinnamon, oud, and saffron at the top with green apple and white pear, a patchouli-jasmine heart, and a tobacco-Madagascar vanilla-amber-sandalwood base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, evening-leaning, with strong projection.

- ●Plum-tobacco-vanilla is indulgent and deeply satisfying
- ●Excellent cold-weather projection
- ●Strong value versus comparable orientals
Trade-offs
