Mancera Aoud Blue Notes is a luminous fruity oud that opens with a sparkling rush of Calabrian citrus and herbs before drifting into a plush heart of violet, rose, iris, and patchouli leaves. As it settles, leather and warm woods wrap a soft thread of vanilla for a refined yet playful trail that feels clean, slightly powdery and effortlessly dressy from day to evening.

Story and Positioning
Introduced at Esxence in Milan, Aoud Blue Notes was created as a bright take on the house’s Aoud signature, pairing Mediterranean citrus and green facets with an elegant floral heart and a smooth leather vanilla base. Mancera describes it succinctly as a fruity oud with soft notes of rose and vanilla. If you like polished citrus florals with a warm ambery finish, expect kinship to the sweet amber leather style associated with Rabanne 1 Million Intense and a family resemblance to Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint and Montale Orange Aoud, while remaining its own fresh powdery twist within Mancera’s Aoud line.
Bottle and Design
Housed in Mancera’s signature cylinder, the bottle wears iridescent blue tones that shift from royal blue to turquoise, giving strong shelf presence. Thick, clear glass and a weighted base provide a satisfying grip, while the black cap and metallic collar frame a crisp label that echoes the cool blue theme. The overall look channels the brand’s Art Deco inspiration in a clean contemporary way.
