When too much hype hits reality
First and foremost, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with this scent in general. It is a mass-pleasing fragrance with a name that doesn’t really reflect what it smells like. Given that oud and mint are in the name of the product, I was quite surprised that they are basically not here. This has happened before with Montale Wood & Spices where the fragrance doesn’t smell anything like the name suggests.
This is where I was slightly disappointed since the additional kick from those two notes would surely bring something new to the game. Especially, the combination of aromatic mint, and western oud.
TOP NOTES
The fragrance opens up with a kinda mentholated candied lemon note which is bright, vibrant, and energetic. The lemon is balanced by a creamy almond and is not something you usually see in warmer weather fragrances which this one is trying to be. Don’t expect a marzipan-like almond accord here or a bitter touch natural almond gives. In the case of this fragrance, almond is used as a support note and feels creamier than almond ice cream would be.
HEART NOTES
The heart notes are predominately made out of jasmine, and here is where the fragrance turns more into a unisex, slightly feminine fragrance, but never goes to that extreme. Patchouli, and oud are nowhere to be found here, and in case you are someone who stays away from typical floral fragrances, you should wait out until the scent takes another turn into warm oriental perfume in the base.
BASE NOTES
Unfortunately for this fragrance, while still being a reminiscence of top and heart notes, what we are left with in dry down are vanilla, spicy amber, and clean musk. Don’t get me wrong, the dry down is likable and pleasant, but a little predictable, and familiar to many other Mancera products.
OVERALL
I guess I’m not the only one who thought there might be something special here, and another smash hit from Mancera.
Good, but far from the best from the house, Aoud Lemon Mint gets the job done with a couple of sideroads here and there to get to where it wants to be. Almonds and vanilla notes always go together like bread and butter, but is that enough for you? If you ask me, get a big sample and then decide whether should you get a full bottle or not.
