Pearl

This is my first Mancera purchase, but surely not my last. I have aoud blue notes, aoud lemon mint, Wild fruits, red tobacco,& black vanilla all on my radar.. I am thoroughly pleased and impressed with Mancera so far.. Never have I loved so many selections from one house at first sniff..Now to the fragrance!! First off I'm a masculine male and always feel a little funny about a fragrance geared towards women.. I had no idea that this wasn't unisex initially, until I looked it up here on fragrantica.. I was just sampling them all and fell in love with the clean/fresh powdery peach that lasted on my skin for 12 plus hours!! I'm sure at some point they will relist as unisex . It does have an awkward opening I must confess, a very stringent white floral type of blast.. However after like a half hour this thing powers down and develops into the fragrance version of a Bellini (peach liqueur/ champagne) for those that live under a rock..It just lasts and lasts, with this fresh powdery but ever so subtle peach bubble around you!! I wear this on summer nights, but it would be perfect for all day use in the spring for any casual occasions.. Mancera is truly a powerhouse of a house so if you love to smell as good as I do its a must to experience..Most of these are blind buy worthy IMO just check to see which notes suit you.. I give this frag a strong 9 in all categories!! How do I fell about it overall? JUST PEACHY!!!

OMG. I might have finaly found it: the Perfect Fig Perfume! For years now, I've been looking everywhere for a GREAT fig perfume, tried pretty much all of the usual suspects, but always came out disappointed. Philosykos? Great smell, very modest longevity and projection. Premier Figuier (Extreme)? Decent smell, absolutely zero performance. Fico di Amalfi? Gorgeous smell, absolutely zero performance. Un Jardin En Mediterannee? Same. Womanity? Gorgeous smell, fantastic performance, not *really* a fig perfume, though. And so on - disappointment after disappointment. And today...I sniffed THIS. Dear lord, the strength! It opens with a blast of fig, rose, and bergamot. Gorgeous, fresh, fruity, dewy. And it settles into a strong, rosey fig, which gradually transitions from dewy to musky (but in a good way). Comforting and cocooning. It's been a couple of hours, and I can smell it clearly whenever I move. And I'm outside, in freezing London weather. I can't WAIT until it gets warmer, if it's already projecting so well now! The only thing I would change about it, is making it slightly less floral, as it's almost evenly fruity and floral. I bought it just now - it only took two hours to fall in love. (Actually, it took about 5 minutes, but the other 115 were spent trying to rationalize my purchase. Black Friday, y'all!)

I adore this perfume!! I crave the scent. I don't find it forgettable at all. On my skin it is a salty, sweet, fig with Jasmine and bergamot. The ambroxan is savory! This perfume has a character that is hard to describe that I've never experienced in a perfume before. It has a grainy smell.... I hope that makes sense. You know how a pear feels , the skin And flesh has The juicy grainy texture.. well I get that same feeling in this perfume and I love it. The dry down is a sweet musk and creamy violet. I feel amazing wearing this and of course the longevity is outstanding! Sillage is a nice fragrant bubble floating around me all day. Imo it's bordering on gourmand ! My husband came home from work and I was wearing pearl, he hugged me and said. "Ooh you smell delicious!" . I only have a sample but I definatly will be buying a full bottle. It's flirty, sexy and fun. It also feels classy and it layers great with Modern muse (if you like layering).

I bought this perfume last spring when temperatures were already in 90s. A sampler set I bought first allowed me to tell it worked well on my skin as a fruity floral. I wore it often until summer when Arizona desert reaches over 120 degrees then it was too strong florals with hardly any fruit and zero musk showing up on my skin. It projected 6 feet at least with a strong trail and lasted 6-8 hours. The freaky think is I tested it in winter for first time today when it is 61 degrees and it smells like a different perfume! There are only 2 notes in cold weather that show up...fig and musk. It opened that way with zero fruit or florals. I’m not crazy about this new scent and will be putting this bottle away until it is warm outside again! I love this as a spring fruity floral scent but right now in winter it smells like raw fresh fig with cat fur and musk - yuk!

The first time I wore this I was kind of confused of how strong it smelled. I live in the Caribbean so I have not been able to experience the "shift" some people have mentioned when they use it on Winter. At first, to me, it smelled like the most oppressive grapefruit and rose smell ever...and I had to go out and did not want to get out of the house smelling like that but in the time it took for me to actually leave, it turned out into this lovely powdery musky fragrance that lasted for what seems a lifetime. I was complemented repeatedly and had to write down the name for one person lol. I reckon it is not for everybody, especially that initial 5-10 minutes but if you don't mind that, you will find yourself smelling amazing for the rest of the day. I cannot talk about notes and other technical perfume terms because I am kind of new at this.

Love at first sniff Oh golly. This perfume is amazing. Longevity and sillage second to none. Mancera is quickly becoming my favourite brand of perfume. My main criteria is good longevity and bonus of great sillage and Mancera rarely disappoints. For me this is effervescent fig on first spray settling down to beautiful fruity musk. Longevity 12 hours plus. One of my most complimented scents. Is it sexy? I really don’t know. I think this scent transcends all that. In my opinion Pearl could be worn all year round and at any occasion and would make a terrific signature scent. I just love it. Careful with the sprays. I’m a 10 to 12 sprays kind of girl. With this one and with the office in mind eight sprays would be sufficient : ) I go to work with Pearl and walk home 12 hours later Pearl still going strong. Perfection 😊

On a cool day, I get a green blooming leaf on a warm sea breeze, which ends in a peachy-peach that is sweet but not sugary. There is a note that is almost salty, which crisps up the perfume before it settles into a very soft, rosy musk. On hotter days, I can smell flashes of a green apple and the fig becomes clearer and more forceful presence. When the fig deigns to appear, this changes the silage of Pearl and makes the perfume into a heavier, more dramatic scent. What is impressive about Mancera is the range within each perfume they create. Depending on the day, the temperature, and the humidity, you get a different face of the arrangement of Pearl and each face is beautiful and dramatic in its own way.

I’m in love. This is a special scent that earns more love and attention When you first spray it you will smell green notes. Comparable with the smell of cutting a branch from a rose if that makes sense? It’s a very musky scent, so you will smell very strong soapy aroma at the beginning. But this smell will be broken down by the figs , after an hour. All you get is a soft sweet fruity scent, which will hold more than 7 hours (if not more, that’s what I could smell at least). This is a fig bomb and it PROJECTS like crazy. Be careful with the trigger, because everyone will smell you. If you love musk or figs, or either, this is a MUST You can wear it every season. Another stunner from Mancera! 9,5/10

Instant amor!! The fruity/musk combo got me like a fish on a hook. Beautifully blended. I don't know if I would consider this sexy and I don't care. The longevity and sillage are great. The clean musky drydown is perfection. I appreciate soapy floral fragrances. I don't care the season or reason. This is getting used all year round. My first favorite from the House of Mancera. BRAVO! 1/16/23--😲😲 good GAWD my FB is so much louder than my sample was! No complaints...just have to be careful not to overspray. I like my fragrances loud but I don't wanna choke anyone out either. 6/6/23--in swampy weather here in south Florida, I get 12+ hours longevity. 🙌🏾

Very hard not to like for people who loves fig like me. The rose could have been less, but this is Mancera. It leans this scent to feminine side for me, but only just. Still for warm weather this can work unisex easily. Ambroxan makes the scent so fresh, and towards drydown it gets ideal for me, musky woody fig, the best combo - instant teleportation to Mediterranean. I dont get any peach in the opening, bergamot and apple assisting the fig and rose, which are the main notes. Blind buy worthy if you like fig. Somehow amongst fig based scents Pearl reminds me most of the Body Shop Italian Summer Fig. IG: @talkaboutscents

I'm in love with this. This is what the word "niche" means to me. It's quite odd but so soooo beautiful. It manages to be sharp, green, natural smelling and juicy sweet at the same time. It's basically spring in a bottle. It opens with strong and scratchy green apple and bergamot and then the fig comes out to play and it gives it the most believable fruity sweetness I've ever smelled in a perfume. But the last bits of the magic come out a bit later: the rose literally slowly blooms. Wonderful composition. Sillage and longevity are pretty decent.

I got a Discovery Mancera Sample kit yesterday and thought to try it out today with Pearl. This fragrance was absolutely beautiful. I don't believe I ever had a fig note in a fragrance. It was definitely distinct and gorgeous. Excellent sillage, a few squirts is all you need. It lasted well into 12 hours and I could still detect it on my wrist. I felt like Wonder Woman. I am definitely sold on the first try. I can't wait to explore the rest. When I get through, I am sure I will be splurging for a full bottle.

Fantastic opening I could sit in all day, fresh green grassy n vegetal, something behind it v high n fresh, almost like the smell of ice in a freezer, it moves into a stage of almost pear drops mixed with honey n cream mixed with washing powder or the smell of line dried clothes but v strong. Weird n lovely, reminds me of Debaser but that is more natural, stem greens, this is a bright green, nature but with the contrast turned up. Shame the drydown is so rough.

It smells clean and fresh, I think it is an everyday perfume (but don’t over spray, in fact one spray below the knees is enough). The first minutes I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, there was a strong green leaves scent but after the dry down I liked it better, it became smother and fresh. I’m happy because it was a blind buy, I don’t regret it but definitely I can only spray a tiny little bit on my legs or else the beast mode might be too overwhelming.

I love this, its a green fig that opens up into a powdery slightly (and I mean slightly) sweet floral. I think things like Soap/shampoo/laundry are relative because no one is thinking of powdered tide when calling something a laundry scent nowadays. This is a "clean" floral that is perfect for spring and summer. White and pastel colored dresses and chignons with french clips. Pearl is fig fantasy's brighter sister and a great addition to any figgy lovers.

I recently in a venture of discovering Mancera House, and this one come up late to my collection. And i love this incredible juice on my skin! Although it is marketed toward female but i think man can also wear it. The performance is not disapoint. With moderate spray, I get 6++ hours on my skin, 8++ hours on my cloth. Projection and silage is decent. I can detect it without trying to sniff the spot where i sprayed it.

Mancera Pearl is a beautiful fig/floral scent. Most of us love wearing fig-forward scents in the Summer. However, the KEY to wearing Pearl (for those who have struggled) is to wear it during COOLER weather. It takes on a whole new scent profile. The cold weather takes away the sharpness some experience and rounds out the fragrance. It's one of my faves from Mancera and I don't have many.

Beautiful scent. Well done. It’s amazing how well this preforms for the price. Good projection and lasts for quite some time. Visual Interpretation: Walking with a beautiful princess dressed in white, through a royal orchard of lemon trees, peach trees and apple trees, and in between the fruit trees it’s filled with roses, berries and flowers growing everywhere.

2nd Review. Still working through my Discovery samples. Wore Pearl again today. This stuff is a beast. 12 hours on my skin. I have nothing but figgy love for this. I picked up a few compliments as well. I am planning to buy a full bottle of this and possibly the Musky Garden. My two favorites so far.

I received a sample of this and I had no idea what to expect. Wow! It's a beautiful shining figgy floral. "The hills are alive, with the sound of music" is what comes to my mind. It's very feminine and clean. It's strong enough to be interesting, yet I think it would work well in a work environment.
