Pearl

Not a scent you'd wear to be noticed — one you'd wear to feel like yourself, especially on an autumn evening when the air is crisp and the light is soft.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 and crafted by Pierre Montale, Pearl by Mancera is a unisex fragrance that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of musk and ambergris. The opening notes of fig, bergamot, green apple, and white peach create an immediate contrast between crispness and sweetness. As it settles into the heart, rose and Egyptian jasmine blend seamlessly with violet, adding a layer of floral depth that feels both classic and modern. The base notes of white musk and ambergris provide a lingering warmth that envelops the wearer in a comforting embrace.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Pearl doesn't need much to make a statement. One or two sprays will suffice; it develops fully within an hour and stays close to skin rather than projecting widely.
