    What do reviewers say about Mansa and Mada?

    It doesn't smell like money in the way loud fragrances smell like money. It smells like someone who already has it. The oud is there, but so is the powdery iris that softens everything.Mansa
    The leather here isn't a background player. It shows up, makes itself known, and refuses to apologize for taking up space. Sweet enough to wear to dinner, animalic enough that people notice.Mada
