Melody Of The Sun

Melody Of The Sun, inspired by Mancera Melody of the Sun (2022)

Lemon, grapefruit and pear open Melody of the Sun, with blackcurrant, lavender and cardamom listed by databases at the top. Green tea then sets the tone, clean and lightly bitter, joined by jasmine and osmanthus, a flower with an apricot-like, faintly leathery facet. Mancera also names sunflower and cedarwood in the heart. Mate, a South American tea with a grassy, hay-like smell, lies in the base with amber and powdery musk.

About the original

Mancera describes it as a light, sunny scent with a woody accord, pear, green tea and white flowers, yet files it under Fruity on its site. Databases date it to 2022 and attribute it to Pierre Montale, Mancera's founder, though the brand names no perfumer. The citrus opening comes from database listings, since the official page gives only heart and base notes.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Mancera stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Its lightness is the main appeal: citrus, tea and pale flowers in place of sugar or resin. Buyers wanting a rich, sweet Mancera in the vein of its vanilla scents should look elsewhere in the range.

Notes of the original fragrance, as published by the brand.

Heart notes: Green Tea, Jasmine, Osmanthus, Cedarwood, Sunflower

Base notes: Amber, Mate, Powdery Musk

Citrus and pear open it, with lemon and grapefruit giving a sparkling start and cardamom a cool spice.

Green tea leads the heart with jasmine, osmanthus and sunflower, kept airy by cedarwood.

Mate, amber and powdery musk form a gentle, slightly grassy drydown.

Is Melody of the Sun sweet?

Not especially. Citrus, pear, green tea and white flowers lead, and the base of mate, amber and musk is powdery rather than sugary.

Is Melody of the Sun fruity or woody?

Mancera files it under Fruity while describing a woody accord. Citrus and pear lead, and cedarwood and mate give it a light woody-green base.
