by Mancera
Crazy for Oud by Mancera is a balanced, gourmand interpretation of oud that unfolds with a delicate sweetness and elegance. It begins with a crispy, slightly sweet rose and oud, layered over fresh bergamot and soft leather, creating a refined opening that feels both masculine and feminine. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a creamy, vanilla-rich tiramisu accord, enhanced by subtle patchouli and woody notes, with a smooth, airy oud that avoids the overpowered or skanky animalic intensity found in many oud-centric perfumes. The dry-down reveals a dry, musky, slightly powdery base with amber and oakmoss, giving it a persistent, near-linear scent profile that remains wearable and elegant throughout. It performs best in cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter, and wears well for night-time occasions, with moderate to strong sillage that lingers in a quiet but noticeable bubble for hours.
