The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Gold Incense by Mancera is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by Pierre Montale. The composition begins with the warm embrace of mandarin orange and pink pepper, which soon gives way to a heart of jasmine, violet, and rose. This floral bouquet is anchored by a rich base of vanilla pod, benzoin, and white musk, creating a scent that feels both comforting and luxurious. Gold Incense balances its powdery, balsamic warmth with subtle spicy notes, making it a fragrance that reads as both intimate and sophisticated.
Apply Gold Incense with two sprays to allow its warm base notes to develop fully on your skin. The vanilla and musk base will last well into the evening, making it ideal for an afternoon that transitions seamlessly into night.
