   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Manakara. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Litchi with Turkey Red Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   Picked up a sample of Manakara after reading the community buzz (2006). Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Litchi with Turkey Red Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   A friend passed me a decant of Manakara (2006) and I wasn’t prepared for it. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Litchi and Turkey Red Rose feel carefully balanced. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   I have owned Manakara for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Litchi with Turkey Red Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Litchi with Turkey Red Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   A decant of Manakara sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The heart is the best part for me: Litchi and Turkey Red Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I picked up Manakara (2006) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The heart is the best part for me: Litchi and Turkey Red Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   For a 2006 release, Manakara deserves more attention than it gets. The heart is the best part for me: Litchi and Turkey Red Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Litchi with Turkey Red Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.
