The Elixir of Generosity: True to its Name
What a masterpiece of complexity and blending!

The opening is dark yet fruity. I get a juicy blackberry and smoky leather. I perceive a plasticky, medicinal note and an animalic touch. Both are subtle and fade away rather quickly, but are enjoyable while they last.

In the heart, the blackcurrant, saffron, and rose unveil themselves. Everything is so well-blended – the notes move together as one. It’s fruity, spicy, slightly smoky, and leathery; smooth and hypnotizing. Everything lies on an amber and musk base, but I can’t clearly distinguish the base notes (i.e., patchouli, heliotrope, or moss).

The bottle is black, like each scent from the Anima collection, but it fits Mansa so well. It’s dark and mysterious yet somehow very luminous. Andreas Wilhelm at his finest!

Based on an official Pernoire sample, tested on skin.

A fruity leather experience
Mansa is an extremely beautiful fragrance, but it's not for everyone. On my skin, the fragrance begins very strongly leathery and woody, which is a dream starter for me personally. Over time, the fragrance becomes fruity and sweet but retains the leather note. The perfume also lasts extremely long, I sprayed it on last night at 8 pm and it is still clearly perceptible (next day 2 pm). So if you like leather fragrances with a sweet and fruity DD, this masterpiece is for you.

Dark nuances: an interplay of leather, berries and iris
Mansa opens with fruity, dark notes, accompanied by a hint of cowshed, which disappears after about a minute. The opening is very intense and the berry notes are clearly the main act at this point.

After around 20 minutes, the iris slowly shimmers through, with the berries fading into the background. The dark leather is still present.

After around 2 hours, the iris reaches its peak and gives the fragrance a "carrot", slightly powdery note. The iris then fades somewhat and the berries come back into the limelight. At this point, a juicy, red rose is also at its zenith, adding a little extra sweetness.

The sillage of the fragrance remains clearly present even after four hours, although I find that the berries are more noticeable in the air. Until the end, Mansa remains leathery-fruity with red-black associations, whereby subtle nuances of fecal oud occasionally flash through.

FAVORITE SCENT!!!
I must have spent six months looking for a leather fragrance that smelled neither like an ageing rocker nor like a chick in a leather mini. I fell in love with "Mansa" straight away - but as you know from Tinder... it's better to chat for a few hours first, then you can see more clearly ;-) Mansa delivers what it promises, doesn't drift off into empty phrases or become unpleasantly intrusive. The perfect fragrance to go out in the evening and beguile others with!

Rarely smelled something so extravagant.
To start : dark slightly synthetic blackberry , crushed on a leather sofa . After a good 30 minutes, the currant joins in, very reminiscent of dextrose. The blackberry fades more and more into the background and a slightly pungent but pleasant musk can be perceived. Now it becomes very leathery & resinous-warm .

Lasts a good 7 hours .

This stuff is drop-dead gorgeous. Aromatic, spicy sour fruitiness on a leathery, musky base. Not sweet, not dry. Exceptionally smooth.
