Hindu Kush (2018) by Pierre Montale is a bold, daring oriental-woody anchored in Afghan cannabis oil, incense, saffron, and labdanum, softened into a patchouli heart and a warm guaiac wood, vanilla, and amber base. It is one of Mancera's most distinctive and polarising fragrances, celebrated for its raw, resinous intensity.
