A Cuban Cocktail of Scent: Aoud Lemon Mint Mancera
Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera is a vibrant homage to the Cuban spirit, created by Pierre Montale in 2016. It's inspired by the lively atmosphere of Havana, with its sultry nights and tropical flavors. I imagine Montale envisioned a bustling Cuban bar, with the air filled with citrusy mojitos and the smell of warm woody cigars. This fragrance captures that vibe, blending Sicilian lemon with fresh mint for a refreshing start, while the subtle oud and leather add a touch of sensuality and earthiness.
Olfactory Notes
On my skin, Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera opens with a vibrant burst of lemon, mandarin, and black pepper, evoking a sunlit Cuban market brimming with citrus zest. As the top notes fade, the heart emerges, where mint intertwines with agarwood and jasmine, reminiscent of a cool mojito sipped under swaying palms. The fragrance settles into a warm base of vanilla, amber, and leather, conjuring images of Havana’s sultry nights, with oud adding a smoky, exotic depth. Each stage feels like a rhythmic dance, transitioning from lively freshness to sensual elegance.
