The story behind the bottle.
Xplicit Vanilla by Mancera is a bold and enveloping Oriental Vanilla fragrance for both women and men. Launched in 2025, this creation from perfumer Pierre Montale centers around the richness of Mexican vanilla, dark chocolate, and Cambodian oud. The composition balances sweet and warm spicy notes with powdery and animalic undertones, resulting in a complex scent that is both comforting and intriguing.
The heart of Xplicit Vanilla lies in its deep and enveloping base of Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, tonka bean, amber, and benzoin. These notes create a warm and intimate atmosphere, making it a fragrance for those who appreciate depth and nuance.
Apply Xplicit Vanilla sparingly to pulse points — its warm base notes will bloom over time. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings or quieter evenings.
