Melody of the Sun Mancera 2022

The opening is truly radiant, a citrus sun seems to greet you, a lot of freshness in all directions, floral, juicy, citrusy, yellow, green, berry-colored. At the same time, it is more of a wild blend; the individual notes, in their quite large quantity for a top note, do not necessarily come out distinctly. If you concentrate on it, you think you can perceive them, but blindly it is harder to guess them than with other comparable scents.
Somewhere there is something floral, something green, yes, but what? The citrus is still the most obvious with a rather mellow grapefruit, not biting, and lemon, while the pear is already slightly hidden and rounds off, giving the transition to green cardamom and lavender.

20 minutes in, and a really nice dry, but also slightly mossy green tea note emerges, clear matcha spreads out, working beautifully with the currant in the transition from the head, along with the heart's flowers, very harmonious, morning dew and tea in the flower garden, while it never becomes fully floral (thank goodness).

50-60 minutes, an interesting base to underscore this, fresh musk further enlivens the already fresh notes, amber brings in a nice, dry note, partly floral, partly resinous, making it even more elegant and noble in its freshness.

Simply a very rounded and yet interesting fresh scent with nice variety in it, the green tea comes across as a star very naturally, nothing to complain about, except for the low sillage.
