It opens with bergamot and mandarin, with clary sage, black pepper, and cinnamon giving it edge from the start. Then a marine, salty accord appears, along with a rose and black truffle, the note that gives it its earthy, dark tone. The base settles into balsamic labdanum, tonka bean, amber, and oakmoss: resinous, slightly sweet, and with the dampness of moss.
Wood Season is a woody perfume from Mancera, which the house classifies in its woody and marine families and describes as a dark, charismatic signature. Fragrantica dates it to 2026. Along with French Riviera, it is one of the Mancera references in our catalog without vanilla in the pyramid, the note the brand presents as its signature. Mancera was founded by Pierre Montale in 2008.
It works well in transitional seasons and on cool summer days, when the citrus opening and marine accord make sense, and the labdanum also carries it into the night. It is for anyone who wants a woody scent with a coastal feel; if you are looking for a sweet, creamy wood, this is not it. Wood & Spices by Montale shares bergamot, pepper, sage, and tonka and takes it toward tobacco, and French Riviera reinforces the marine and salty side.
What does Wood Season by Mancera smell like?
