The Scented Life: All about fragrance

Perfume of the Day: Indult Manakara

by Amy on February 24th, 2008

Manakara by Indult

Well, we’ve reached a new day here at TheScentedLife - the day in which I seriously wonder if I got a defective product. You see, Indult’s Tihota was not unpleasant, but I couldn’t very well justify the incredibly high price for something that smells like many other Comptoir Sud Pacifique scents. Manakara, however - is supposed to smell of rose and lychee. I expected it to be a sophisticate take on the fruity-floral genre…but it just smells like…grapes and glue. Lychees (or litchi) don’t have a lot of flavor, and the rose scent is not particularly accurate or natural smelling. I really wonder if something…happened…to my sample or to this fragrance in the making. I don’t get custard, I don’t get ripe red fruits…..

Check it out for yourself and see if you agree…

LuckyScent says:

The second we smelled this, we were positively overcome by its exotic yet approachable beauty. Named for a village in Madagascar known for its legendary lychee fruit (also spelled litchi), it’s presented here as a sweet, honeyed and mysterious floral-tinged pudding-like fruit fragrance with amazing hidden depths — not purple berry fruit, not bright citrus fruit, but rich and delicate lychee, a scent that’s like tropical fruits meets ripe red fruits with a soft, creamy floral mixed in. We’ve never smelled anything quite like it — ever — and we had gourmand lovers, fruity fans, floral worshippers and even deep, dangerous fragrance lovers sampling this and positively banging their wrists on the counter demanding to buy it…and we didn’t even carry it yet. A custardy, creamy sweet fruit dessert of a perfume laced with rose water, we can’t compare it to anything you’ve ever tried before and we’re quite certain you’ll be utterly smitten by this rare beauty. Moist, sweet, rich and delicate…all at the same time.
