About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Launched in 1999 and composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Mania opens with a warm, resinous blend of labdanum and vanilla. This unconventional top sets the stage for a spicy heart where saffron, nutmeg, cloves, and amber intertwine, creating a rich, oriental character. The base of white musk, guaiac wood, vanilla, and iris adds depth and a soft, powdery finish. The fragrance is dominated by warm spicy and amber accords, with notable powdery, fresh spicy, woody, and musky facets.
Mania is a sophisticated scent for those who appreciate bold, spicy orientals. It suits evening wear and cooler months, enveloping the wearer in a cozy yet elegant aura. Collectors of 90s niche and designer fragrances will find this a distinctive addition, especially given its discontinued status and the renowned perfumer behind it. Ideal for someone who enjoys a strong, memorable signature that balances sweetness with spice and wood.
