Fruity rose + oud
After the initial spicy opening, Mana has a sweet blast of oud and jammy rose. Smells quite girlie. After a short while, the sweetness pulls back but the rose has a very jammy or fruity smell. Overall, I'd say it's a unisex fragrance. Oud and rose last for a considerable time. Towards the end, all that remains is a sorta creamy/woody scent. Performance is very good. Long lasting with good sillage and projection for a few hours at least.

Overall, Mana is not my style.

Anders als ombré Nomade?
Ich muss ehrlicherweise sagen, dass ich mich nicht in der Lage fühle diesen Duft ausführlich zu beschreiben. Ich war nur flüchtig im Laden und habe mal alle Nishane Düfte ausprobiert und fand den mit am interessantesten und habe ihn mir deshalb mal am den Arm gesprüht. Und man muss ich sagen, das mir dieser Duft gut gefällt und er eine unglaublich gute sillage hat.

Fangen wir auch gleich mit der Sillage an. Eine Sprüher auf die Hand und ich rieche den Duft die ganze Zeit immer mal wieder. Vor allem in Räumen wird er sehr präsent. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, das 3-5 Sprüher am Körper schon sehr stark wären.

Wegen der Haltbarkeit kann ich nicht viel sagen. Bis jetzt riecht er immernoch top und glaube auch, das er noch eine Weile hält. Stand jetzt sind es ca 4h aber er kommt anderen ähnlichen Oud Düften sehr nah; deswegen geh ich auch von einer langen Haltbarkeit aus. Die anderen Reviews bestätigen das ja auch :)

Soo jetzt zum Duft selbst. Er erinnert mich stark an Ombre Nomade und einen Touch Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum. Immer wieder hab ich das Gefühl bekommen, das ich beide Düfte drauf hab bzw. ein Mix aus beiden wobei der Ombre Nomade stark dominiert. Da ich zuhause noch eine Probe von ihm habe, hab ich den mal verglichen und ja stimmt. Die riechen in der Basis sehr sehr ähnlich. Nur fehlt bei diesem Duft hier das fruchtige der Himbeere. Was lustig ist, weil ich die Himbeere im Ombre Nomade nie so stark wahrgenommen habe, bis heute. Also ja. Für mich ist das fast der selbe Duft nur ohne Himbeere. Aber genau deswegen eigen. Dadurch würde ich sagen; dass dieser Duft sogar etwas stärker und weniger weich ist. Was aber nein animalisches Oud ist. Die türkische Rose rieche ich jetzt nicht anders als eine normale Rose. Die Mischung mit dem Oud und Leder macht’s aber perfekt. Sehr toller Duft für mich. Hat mich sehr überrascht

Leathery punch in the face
I was surprised not to see civet or some other strongly animalic note in this perfume. There is something about it that reminds me of animal urine. Perhaps it's the musk?

The leather and suede are also very strong. Cardamom and tobacco give it an overwhelming pungent spiciness. The dry-down does improve slightly, as the rose note appears and brings about a pleasant, albeit "vintage," soapiness.

This is a primal and very manly "stink" to me. I'm sure this is for someone, but it's definitely not for me. I truly cannot stand this fragrance.

A way more expensive Tuscan Leather
I had high expectations from this one but i was very disappointed. This just some sort of Tuscan Leather extrait. It's mostly just dry suede leather with some oud, rose and a bit of spices and fruits. This formula has been done so many times it's exhausting, the rose oud combo it's just phased out. I was curious about the animalic touches coming from oud and castoreum but ...nope, no animalics here, i m very used to animalic notes as i m a big fan of Kouros and Antaeus but... the castoreum here doesn't play a big role, you can barely feel it's there, and the oud it's not animalic, it's not barnyard , it's just damp and woody giving support to the suede leather. The big players in this composition are the suede, rose and fruits...soooooo basically just a better performing Tuscan Leather. If you want a very raw and animalic leather castoreum combo, just try to get Oud Wood Intense, that will satisfy your urge for true dark leather jacket scent. This is very unisex and boring. Sorry but for that price tag this is a HUGE pass from me. Nishane trying so hard to be relevant but it's just a boring turkey house that sells mostly synthetic and forgetable fragrances.

Turkish interpretation of the Ombre Nomade from Nishane I Including comparison to Ombre Nomade
After the Nefs completely thrilled me, it was obvious to test the next steam hammer, the Mana. Sprayed on, first impression: WOW! A rich, dark rose-oud fragrance that builds massively on the successful recipe of Ombre Nomade!

But let's take a closer look at Mana and compare it with Ombre Nomade:

- The Mana starts very intensely with a rose-oud combination, which is characterized by a good portion of spiciness and a slight sweetness from the saffron. This is also the big difference to Ombre Nomade, which is rather slightly fruity due to the raspberry, even if the raspberry is in the background. But don't think of the opening as a spice box, the saffron dominates with the rose-oud combination and the remaining ingredients such as cardamom are practically imperceptible or extremely well blended; a truly wonderful composition from the very beginning!
- In the drydown, the rose-oud combination is then complemented with precious woods and, in contrast to Ombre Nomade, is given even more depth by the benzoin and labdanum. It is not like Ombre Nomade, which screams loudly for rose oud incense in the drydown, but is really finely tuned - but still very very loud - going into a woody base, which is characterized by incense, fine resinous labdanum and benzoin. Beautiful!

- The H/S is beastly, truly monstrous. The fragrance lasts a very long time and projects very well! The difference to the Ombre Nomade is that the Ombre Nomade screams loud and rustic, the Mana is rather loud and finely tuned.

In summary, what you get here from Nishane is a more complex, deeper Ombre Nomade, which is far more exciting DNA-wise, also massively performed in a different way, but of course also costs far more RRP. In the air, laymen can probably hardly smell a difference; yes, the Ombre Nomade could be a bit smokier, but in the second and without direct comparison, the difference is negligible for a layman.

Would I prefer one or the other? Very difficult question; perhaps the most difficult. I would say that I would still go for the Ombre Nomade, even though the Mana is really top-notch. Simply because the price difference is so huge.

A very beautiful oriental, leather-oud fragrance with a spicy touch of cardamom. Very smooth and well blended. Good performance as well.

Overwhelmingly pungent, masculine, animalic blend of woody spiciness. Not a safe blind buy at all. Must love leather.

This is essentially a higher quality ombre nomade. It’s less sweet and cloying, less synthetic and more intense.

Opens as an aromatic rose-oud, dries as a leather-oud-rose. Warm spices at the top, rose prominent throughout. Fall-winter, leans masculine.

Yeah, it’s basically LV Ombre Nomade with slight nuanced differences. Price is off-putting and feels somewhat redundant to have both.
