Fragrances

A fuller, more textured extension of Histoire d'Orangers, keeping the orange-blossom brightness while adding extra warmth and depth. It feels sunnier and richer, as though the original had been draped in a golden amber veil.

A commemorative-feeling Henry Jacques fragrance with polished structure, smooth woods, and a refined amber-musky base. It feels formal and assured, built as a clear house statement.

HM is one of the more distinctive late-1990s men’s scents, pairing citrus and lavender with chocolate, vanilla, woods, and a soft floral heart. It feels elegant but unusual, balancing masculine structure with a creamy gourmand warmth that helped it become a cult favorite.

HM Eau Fraiche offers a brighter and lighter interpretation of HM, keeping the citrus-aromatic opening while reducing some of the richer gourmand depth. It feels fresher and more relaxed, especially in warm weather.

A time-worn extrait that suggests dried fruit, old wood, dust, resin, and a sepia-toned sweetness. The renamed structure keeps the chess-like former identity searchable while the scent itself feels like memory turned brittle: sweet at the edges, but dry, aged, and shadowed through the center. It is contemplative, nostalgic, and oddly austere.

A historical lily-of-the-valley fragrance with an imperial-era name, likely built around the bright green-white floral freshness associated with muguet. It would have read as clean, delicate, and springlike, with a polished vintage floral character.

A tropical white-floral gourmand with bergamot, coconut, tiare flower, ylang-ylang, sea notes, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk. It feels like sunscreen, warm sand, flowers, and sweet air, making it one of Mancera's most beach-vacation-like fragrances.

A festive floral-citrus fragrance with a bright, celebratory mood. It feels sparkling and feminine, with enough softness in the base to make the holiday theme elegant rather than seasonal-only.

A rock-and-roll rose leather with black pepper, blackcurrant, rose absolute, orchid, Tuscan leather, and patchouli. It feels glamorous and slightly dangerous, like crushed petals on a black leather jacket after a long night near the stage.

Hollywood is a vintage floral-aldehydic feminine with a polished, glamorous personality that fits the name well. It feels lush, styled, and unmistakably old-school in a dressed-up California way.

Hollywood for Men gives the Fred Hayman line a smoother aromatic-leather masculine with a polished old-school backbone. It feels warm, masculine, and slightly cinematic without becoming too heavy.

Hollywood Star presents a glossier and more playful feminine branch of the Hollywood idea, with a smoother early-2000s designer tone. It feels bright, polished, and lightly glamorous.

Hollywood Star for Men appears to be a slightly more contemporary and polished masculine than Hollywood for Men, with a cleaner early-2000s structure. It feels styled and approachable rather than intensely classic.

A green woody oud fragrance with mimosa, bitter orange, tomato leaf, violet leaf, jasmine sambac, neroli, galbanum, oud, and fir absolute. It opens vividly green and bitter-citrus, then turns floral and resinous before settling into fir, oud, and galbanum. The result is natural, unusual, and forest-bright rather than heavy.

A fresh spicy aromatic fragrance with lemon, apple, bergamot, yuzu, ginger, ylang-ylang, magnolia, blackcurrant, orris, cumin, musk, amber, patchouli, coumarin, and vetiver. It feels bright, fruity, and aromatic at the top, then turns warmer and more textured through spice, musk, and earthy woods.

Holy Peony gives Maison Christian Dior a fresh peony-rose floral profile with a luminous and modern easy-wear finish. It feels graceful and polished without becoming dense.

A dark incense-animalic fragrance with herbal shadows, smoke, and a deliberately unsettling devotional mood. It feels like cold stone, resinous smoke, worn leather, and damp herbs, moving from a confrontational opening into a strange, meditative, almost liturgical drydown. This appears to be an archive/discontinued Pekji entry rather than part of the current official catalog.

A spiritual incense-floral fragrance with frankincense-like smoke, woods, soft flowers, and clear resinous brightness. It feels sacred and transparent, like ritual water, smoke, stone, and pale light inside a quiet chapel.

Holy Water is one of Demeter’s more conceptual atmospheric scents, aiming at mineral freshness, cool air, and ritual calm rather than obvious incense or church smoke. It feels clean, still, and unusual.

Homage Attar gives the house a luxurious rose-oud-amber style in a traditional attar format with a smoother and more concentrated finish than the spray line. It feels rich, intimate, and unmistakably upscale.
