When I first smelled the final version of our original Sidama fragrance I was struck by how perfectly it encapsulated what I wanted to express. The beauty and complexity of a natural process Ethiopian coffee tempered by the grassy and earthy elements of the growing region. I felt it was such a unique take on coffee, something that hadn’t really been done before. This likely contributed to its being an independent category finalist in the 2023 Art & Olfaction awards.

One additional thought stuck out to me at the time. I must create a semi-gourmand chocolate forward version of this fragrance. In researching this variation, I was intrigued by the history and cultural significance of the traditional Aztec drinking chocolate xocolātl. The process originally developed by the Maya involved fermenting cacao beans, letting them dry in the sun then grinding them before adding to hot water. The hot chocolate was often infused with spices like chili pepper or cinnamon and sweetened with vanilla or honey.

For Sidama X we elevated the boozy character of the original, while dialing back the coffee elements significantly. The rich, decadent and semi-sweet dark chocolate is the hallmark of this fragrance. I couldn’t help but add in a healthy dose of chili pepper spice to the chocolate. Rather than adding vanilla to this fragrance we utilized the more resinous, woody benzoin to correspond with the original. The final composition is decadent, spicy, woody and a bit boozy. It’s definitely sweeter than the original but tempered by the spicy, woody and resinous elements. Take a sip (not literally) or sniff and experience for yourself.

The crisp, fresh and pristine nature of a first snow is always memorable. This is particularly true in the mountainous regions of Japan. The multi-sensorial experience of a fresh wind through the unique majesty of Japanese pine and fir trees is a wonder to behold. With MizuKaze, literally “fresh wind” we wanted to bring this unique experience to our popular Musashi fragrance. If the original was associated with Spring, and Kensei inspired by fall, MizuKaze is definitely the winter inspired version.

Right off the bat we dialed up the cool and fresh elements with an invigorating trio of peppermint, rosemary and juniper. We added a truly unique blue ginger oil prized for its spicy citrus and floral character. Keeping in step with the cooling character we swapped the floral element to lavender. The tea we utilized for this is the delicate sliver needle white tea. This tea is made from the young unopened silvery downy buds of the tea plant. It was originally reserved only for royalty. Its aroma is delicate and floral in nature with a slight honey sweetness. The dry down is distinctly green and woody providing that quintessential evergreen freshness while the frankincense adds lift and complexity.

Is this the best iteration in the Musashi lineup? You’ll have to try for yourself, but it’s certainly the freshest!

Imagine walking through a seaside garden as a young child for the very first time. Curiosity and wonderment guide your experience of new and exciting sights, smells, sounds, tastes and textures. The fragrance opens bright, fresh and undeniably green with fruity, tart and spicy nuances. Fresh, green and fruity elements continue with subtle floral and aquatic undertones. A gentle ocean breeze blows through your hair as rays of sunshine warm your skin. Lying in the cool grass, the sun and breeze alternate their embrace causing you to drift off in a peaceful sleep enhanced with warm woods, resins and musk. Feelings of love, comfort and joy fill your dreams and in the innocence of youth, you fail to understand that you will never forget this garden.

Courant Éternel is a very special and personal fragrance for me. The scent itself is inspired by my very first scent memory. It was created to reproduce not just the scent but the entire experience of exploring a seaside garden as a young child. Of course you have the natural flora of the garden with notes of Rhubarb, Dill, Raspberry, Basil and florals elements. We also attempted to recreate the feel of an ocean breeze, the warmth of sun on your face and even the earth below. This is a fresh, bright and vibrant fragrance that captures the essence of Spring and will be loved by both men and women.

Courant Éternel is a tribute to the love of God. In particular, His providence in bringing people into our lives. In this case, my mother, grandmother and my wife. The name itself comes from an old hymn. "Underneath me, all around me is the CURRENT of His love, leading onward, leading homeward to His glorious rest above."

(Batch 2 coming 10/15) When Sean, the founder of Carbon shaving approached us about collaborating on a fragrance, Damascus kept coming up. As a designer of heirloom quality razors, he had utilized the modern form of Damascus steel in some of his pieces of functional artwork. With the popularity of our “origin” series perfumes like Musashi and Sidama, the ancient city of Damascus also beckoned. We decided to develop this new original fragrance as an homage to the famous steel, the city and its storied markets.

The colors, design, and illustrations serve to highlight the beauty and history of Damascus steel, while the fragrance itself transports the wearer to the ancient city and its markets.

Kensei opens with a beautifully unique citrus blast of Blood Orange, Yuzu, and Yellow Mandarin. It is light, juicy, tangy and undeniably uplifting. The sweet and crisp Nashi pear adds to this energizing and delectable opening.

The tea is smoke dried over pine wood creating an effect that adds a hint of wood smoke and resin to the depth of black tea. The floral combo of Neroli and Violet keep the fragrance light and fresh extending the lift from the citrus open.

I can still remember the first time I tried a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. It’s been over 20 years now, but the memory has left an indelible impression. I was at my favorite coffee shop and roaster la costa coffee roasting in Carlsbad, CA. This is a 2nd generation, family owned business. Doug, the owner has a near encyclopedic knowledge of all things coffee. The coffee was bold, rich, and juicy; just bursting with flavor and intense aroma, the most prominent being blueberry. When we began creating fragrances with MANE I knew a fragrance as an ode to my favorite coffee and some beautiful memories had to be undertaken. A follow up to Musashi in our ORIGINs collection seemed the perfect opportunity as Sidama is considered by most to be the birthplace of coffee. The fragrance is designed to showcase coffee with the surrounding notes building on the birthplace of coffee Sidama, Ethiopia. The fragrance has a slightly sweet and boozy open that is coffee forward with fruity nuances from berries and apricot. As it transitions; a unique and creamy mix of Iris, lactonic features, and a hint of dark chocolate bridge the open and base. The fragrance dries down with a warm ambery and musky richness anchored by woods, spice, and earthy elements.

Citrus aromatic fragrances with a Mediterranean flair have always been a bit of a “guilty pleasure” for me. This is particularly true when they are anchored by the extraordinary citrus from Calabria, Bergamot.

It is at once bright and invigorating with a unique bittersweet tartness. It’s uniqueness is bolstered by the subtle floral and herbal elements that hide just beneath the surface. Like a polished gemstone, it has many exemplary facets that shine through when combined with complementary notes.

When developing Calabria we wanted to create an experience that is bright, effervescent and uplifting. Imagine the scene overlooking the beauty of the Italian coastline engaged in light conversation among friends. You order brunch while sipping on an Aperol Spritz. The sun is shining bright while the sounds of birds and the ocean are carried on a gentle breeze. - This is Calabria!

The bright and tart Bergamot is combined with a sparkling and zesty grapefruit. This effervescent open is tempered a bit by the unique fresh aromatic combo of Ginger and Cardamom. A beautiful trio of florals headed by the amazingly fruity and apricot-like Osmanthus blends harmoniously into the mix. The finish is soft and smooth with woods and musk. We hope you enjoy this truly exceptional expression of a citrus aromatic fragrance with a Mediterranean twist.

How would we describe this fragrance? It is BOOZY, but not in a brash in your face way. The lime is very unique and forward. Anyone who is familiar with Southeast Asian cuisine should be familiar with Kaffir Lime. It has a depth and complexity far beyond your typical lime essential oil. Ginger had to be a player due to the ginger beer element in the cocktail, but we wanted to make sure the spice component was a bit more nuanced. To achieve this, we added Coriander, and Cardamom to the Ginger forward spice elements. Finally we wanted to give the fragrance a nice deep woodsy and slightly sweet finish which the Oak and Benzoin pulled off perfectly. We hope you enjoy! Cheers!

Spring has arrived - And so has a new fragrance collection - Élan - (ey-lahn) - noun - Vigorous enthusiasm. Juniper Reverie is the first installment in the collection.

Juniper Reverie opens with the invigorating combo of bright lemon and fresh juniper wrapped in a slightly sweet and boozy Cognac accord. It transitions with a unique mix of freshly ground coffee, and soft florals with aromatic incense and myrrh. The finish is sensual and warm.

The Parfum was bottled at a 27% concentration and was created by MANE perfumers Vincent Kuczinski and Ugo Charron.

Each 50ml bottle of Juniper Reverie features a custom coin on the wooden cap.

Gentleman's Nod Jackie Parfum Extrait Bottled at a 27% concentration.

Fragrance Creation - Vincent Kuczinski, MANE

Olfactory Classification - Aromatic Fougère

Jackie is the final fragrance to be released in our legacy lineup and a favorite around here.

Jackie was a pioneer in numerous ways and eminently deserving of the Gentleman’s Nod as evidenced by the retiring of #42 across every MLB team!

Jackie is the quintessential masculine fragrance. A fresh new aromatic fougère our take on the “barbershop” category. The top carries a beautiful fresh quality from the pineapple, citrus, and peppermint that lasts all the way into the transition to the dry down. The mid brings the familiar floral formula with some unique additions. But the dry down is where the magic happens in Jackie. It is an intoxicating masculine medley of tobacco, amber, woods and musk. This may be the most versatile fragrance we've released to date. It's a great choice for any ocassion, time of day or season.

[George 01]

Mr. Washington, POTUS #1, represents a darker masculine fragrance. An excellent fragrance for cooler temps. The fragrance opens with citrus and woods, mingled with florals and the complexity of labdanum. Traditional warm and earthy elements of Patchouli, Amber, Oak Moss, and Musk create the base of this deep fragrance. Taking cue from his tobacco cultivation at Mt. Vernon, we added a healthy portion of tobacco.

Ernest was my “first love” in our line of product aromas and so, fittingly it is first released in our core line up of fragrances.

As the aroma settles into the skin it finishes with the warm notes of tobacco, vetiver and woods. Perfect for a late summer sunset stroll or casual dinner overlooking the water!

Introducing Musashi an original fragrance from Gentleman's Nod. This is the first offering in a new "Origins" series, featuring a fragrance developed around a single note or accord.

The fragrance is inteded to invoke feelings of walking from an isolated coastal region with the fresh zest of citrus and sweetness of Nashi pear. As you move inland and into slightly higher elevations, Jasmine Tea, florals and spice dominate the fragrance. Ultimately as your journey continues into yet higher, forested elevations the fragrance again transforms into a more earthy and woodsy mix reminiscent of the damp forest floor and ancient firs.

We invite you to explore this beautiful fragrance developed around a heart of Jasmine Tea with the accompanying notes stemming from an Asian origin with Japan in particular.
