This is an expressive floral-woody eau de parfum. In it, the delicate and refined violet shines vividly against the backdrop of deep, sweet-smoky tones of oud wood. The renowned Pierre Mancera crafted his latest masterpiece, inspired by the island of Saint Barthélemy, known for its tropical forests that gradually transition into the most beautiful coastal landscapes. Thus, the fragrance transports you to a lush tropical forest where the violet reigns. Its note is framed by jungle accords, creating an unforgettable harmony.
The base of the pyramid is composed of light accents of white musk and transparent hints of amber, which blend with the soft, moist, and slightly earthy accords of vetiver. A magnificent trail is formed by green notes and gentle spice nuances, complemented by the citrus-freshness of bergamot. This emotional fragrance creates a magical atmosphere, allowing its wearer to mentally visit a fairytale world of the tropics!

This is one of the few Mancera fragrances that truly appeals to a man's nature. It is definitely more masculine than feminine. It is vibrant, bold, and long-lasting. While it falls into the rare floral-chypre category for men, it is impressive. It's quite suitable for all seasons. There are virtually no softening feminine notes, which makes it odd that it's not even labeled as unisex. In contrast, Mancera's "Sensual" is marked as unisex but feels entirely feminine.
I bought this for myself, but my husband really liked it. It's a very good men's fragrance.
This is one of my favorite non-pink and non-musky fragrances from Mancera. It’s both fresh and rich, with a violet note that feels alive and genuine. The oud is spicy and dry, not medicinal. But for me, the most beautiful aspect is the vetiver, which has a distinct nutty undertone. Unfortunately, my husband took my 120 ml bottle for himself, so I had to buy another one. Interestingly, it doesn’t smell as magical on him; it smells more like oud and somehow lime. But on me, it’s a wonderful, vibrant blend of violet and woody notes. It’s truly a feminine fragrance! However, not everyone might want to wear niche feminine chypres like this one.
Amazing men's fragrance! It's surprising that it's listed as a women's perfume here. It has a long-lasting, chypre scent that's perfect for accomplished men. In some niche stores, it is placed alongside men's fragrances. It's definitely not unisex.
This is a 100% masculine fragrance! I'd rate it a 5 for a men's scent, but it definitely wouldn't suit a woman.
The scent is impressive. It was liked by a man over 50. It's a good balance of sweet and fresh.
Some people consider it to be exclusively masculine, so testing it is a must. For me, it's a magical chypre! Initially, it's sharp with a strong oud presence, but after a few minutes, it reminds me of Soir de Lune by Sisley (the beginning of that fragrance). It's warm and after an hour or two, it transforms into a powdery violet! A very beautiful scent, it evolves in different ways, is long-lasting, and has a great sillage. Ideal for warm, tanned, moist skin. However, testing is essential because you might not notice the violets, and it could just reveal a purely masculine chypre!
