The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Aoud Orchid by Mancera was launched in 2016 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Pierre Montale. This Oriental Floral fragrance is a harmonious blend of sweet and woody notes, with coconut and orchid taking center stage. The composition opens with the vibrant freshness of mandarin orange and peach before settling into a rich base of patchouli, vanilla, and white musk. Aoud Orchid captures the essence of opulence and warmth, creating an inviting atmosphere that is both comforting and alluring.

How to wear it

Apply Aoud Orchid with two sprays to your pulse points. The fragrance blooms gradually over an hour, so it's best to let it develop on skin rather than layering multiple applications. It reads better close to the skin and is perfect for evening wear.
