Dark Berries on Leather: A Symphony of Contrasts
Mansa has captivated the fragrance community with its bold marriage of dark berries and sumptuous leather, earning praise for its sophisticated evolution and impressive longevity. The journey begins with an intense burst of blackberry and blackcurrant, which gradually intertwines with a prominent leather accord and a masterfully crafted iris note. As time progresses, the scent reveals layers of oriental complexity through its oud, saffron, and rose heart. While some note a briefly synthetic opening and subtle animalic undertones, the overwhelming consensus celebrates Mansa's unique character and extraordinary staying power of 7+ hours. This is decidedly an evening and cold-weather fragrance, perfect for those seeking a distinctive blend of fruity darkness and leather refinement.
