by Mancera
Feminity by Mancera is a complex, modern oriental floral with a strikingly powdery and leathery core. It opens with a bright, citric fizz of tangerine and pink pepper, layered over a distinct leather note that gives the scent its initial character. The heart unfolds into a soft, creamy floral bouquet of jasmine, heliotrope, lily of the valley, and violet — delicate yet rich, creating a balanced, refined femininity. As it settles, the gourmand warmth of caramel, vanilla, and amber mingles with sandalwood and white musk, subtly sweetening the base. The leather note persists but doesn’t dominate, particularly on skin unless applied in excess. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond 24 hours on clothes and 12+ hours on skin, with strong sillage that lingers in enclosed spaces. The fragrance evolves beautifully, shifting from a fresh, slightly soapy citrus-leather opening to a velvety, warm, floral-sweet drydown. It feels surprisingly wearable across seasons, especially in autumn and winter, and inspires strong reactions — some love its elegant complexity, others find the leather too sharp or synthetic. It is not a gourmand in the traditional sense, more a modern interpretation of a feminine, cozy-suede aroma.
