by Oriflame
Manful by Oriflame is a fresh, spicy-oriental fragrance with a distinctive balance of warm and aromatic accords. It features top notes of black pepper, saffron, and sea notes, leading into middle notes of black currant, cinnamon, and jasmine, with a base of suede, tonka bean, and vetiver. The scent is powerfully balanced—assertive but not overwhelming, with a distinctive leathery and slightly sweet tonka backbone that gives it a subtle, sensual depth. Despite its reputation as a budget-friendly dupe for more expensive spicy fragrances like Spicebomb, it performs moderately with moderate longevity and sillage, suitable for day or night wear. The scent has a reliable, classic appeal with a cool, slightly soapy undertone that some find unique, though others report a weak projection and fading quickly.
