Mancera

Mancera was founded in Paris in 2008 by perfumer Pierre Montale as the livelier sibling to his first house. Trained in the Arabian Peninsula, where he worked as a private perfumer to Saudi royalty, Montale brought a deep command of oud, saffron and full-strength rose into a line that is brighter and more playful than its predecessor. The performance is famously generous: Mancera bottles project for hours and cost a fraction of their nearest rivals.
