In 1990, Remy Latour introduced Manès — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A masculine fragrance belonging to the east and wood families. Concentration — eau de toilette: exactly what it needs to be.
Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Manès is built as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Remy Latour is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a noble cedar mood: Green Chord, Lavender, Sandalwood, Spices, White Cedar and Woody Accord. In this case 6 notes act as one integrated frame, forming a sense of noble depth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Wood and Spicy with each one in a clear role.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Green, Wood, Spicy and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the composition sits in East and Wood.
In summary Manès reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
