This perfumed water is part of an exclusive collection called "Island Journey," dedicated to the unique places of our planet. The inspiration behind this fragrance comes from the kumquat tree and its fruit. Originating from China, the mysteries of this natural wonder remain undiscovered by many.
The scent holds a prestigious position within the woody, floral, musky group. Sparkling with the freshness of grapefruit and bergamot, seasoned with a dash of spices, it blends with the notes of patchouli leaves. Then, sensual white musk embraces the warm sounds of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver. The composition is crafted following the finest perfumery traditions of Arab artisans. Its intensity doesn't leave room for hesitation - from now on, you will always remember the notes of this fragrance.
I had high expectations considering the description of the fragrance, but they were not met. The initial notes are filled with pine, and then you sit and wait for further development, which is almost non-existent. It is quite monotonous, with a strong scent of pine that does not align with perfumes in this category. I highly recommend getting a 2ml sample and testing it out!
The fragrance is amazing! It will definitely be one of my favorites in my collection. It has a clean, soft, sophisticated, and stylish scent. I would rate it 9 out of 10.
After a few hours, this fragrance resembles Hermes Terre d'Hermes, but with its own unique character. Its longevity is excellent, staying power is outstanding.
I purchased this blindly and applied it. At first, I could smell the dry juniper branches sprayed with lemon juice, which was pleasant and sophisticated. It lingered for about 3-4 hours, and then it unfolded into something powdery-floral with a touch of earthiness. I can still smell it, not directly on my skin, but it's not as overpowering as before. I can't get enough of it. It's very diverse, from the first note to the last, just like music. Complimentary, people notice the subtle and restrained trail. It leans more towards being masculine. It became stronger on the base notes after settling. You need to let it rest for a week after traveling!
I managed to get my hands on the last bottle of this amazing fragrance and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I would also like to express my gratitude for the lovely gift included in the package. Thank you so much!
The only one from Mancera that I will say "Hooray!" to.
The fragrance is magical, it amazingly changes its character. In the very beginning, there are rough citruses that gradually give way to a damp rose (although it is not declared in the pyramid). In the middle, there are warm wooden notes with cinnamon and other spices, heated by the sun. The dry down is stunning, floral and powdery, but a bit monotonous.
The fragrance is wonderful. It is not only liked by me, but also by those around me. I highly rate the store's service with a 5+++.
