The story behind the bottle.
Aoud Black Candy by Mancera was launched in 2012, a creation by the renowned perfumer Pierre Montale. This fragrance opens with a distinctive blend of licorice and mint, creating an intriguing contrast between sweetness and freshness. The heart notes of rose and amber add warmth and depth, while white musk rounds out the composition with a powdery, soft spiciness that lingers on the skin.
Apply Aoud Black Candy to pulse points for the best effect — it blooms gradually over time. The mint and licorice top notes are fleeting, but the warm amber and white musk base notes stay close to the skin for hours.
