Mancera Crazy For Oud Eau De Parfum

Mancera Crazy For Oud Eau De Parfum debuted in 2019, crafted by the in-house perfumer Pierre Montale. This bold and opulent composition is an ode to oud, presented in Mancera’s signature East-meets-West style. It fuses smoky woods, spicy resins, and creamy balsams into a commanding yet refined fragrance that leans unisex with a distinctively masculine edge. The scent profile is rich, leathery, and addictive, showcasing the house’s flair for high-impact luxury.

The fragrance opens with a bracing trio of Laotian oud, leather, and bergamot. The oud is immediately assertive—animalic and earthy—while the leather note adds a raw, rugged sensuality. Bergamot cuts through the intensity with a fleeting spark of citrus, offering brightness that quickly yields to the darker elements. The result is a smoky, exotic start that grabs attention from the first spray.

In the heart, the scent becomes creamier and more textural. Bulgarian rose and violet lend a floral sophistication, softening the edges of the oud and leather with a velvety elegance. Tiare flower adds a lush, tropical nuance, hinting at sun-warmed petals and balmy air. This middle stage is beautifully balanced—both refined and carnal—revealing the complex interplay between sweet florals and smoky woods.

The base is where Crazy For Oud truly anchors itself. The lingering impression is warm, resinous, and comforting, thanks to Madagascar vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, and amber. Tonka bean reinforces the creamy sweetness, while a whisper of oud remains, tying the fragrance together with enduring strength. The dry-down is both sensual and deeply enveloping, making it ideal for cool evenings or statement-making occasions.
