Forteresse Light

Forteresse Light by Manzana Paris is a fragrance for women and men. Forteresse Light was launched in 2019. Top note is Rose; middle notes are Patchouli, Agarwood (Oud) and Sandalwood; base notes are Labdanum and Saffron. “Forteresse is now available in a lighter version, but is still just as vibrant as the original. It comes in a totally new bottle. The fragrance is protected behind an elegant veil of light-brown glass, the shape of which has been redesigned into one that’s not as slender as its predecessor’s. Forteresse Light has its own, individual stopper in a solid chrome colour, bringing this very refined bottle to life. The box also has a new look but has kept its bright colours and subtle patterns. This new version of Forteresse is slightly lighter but still has its signature character. The note opens with a beautiful rose scent, marking the beginning of a sensory journey that crosses paths with radiant patchouli. This mysterious leaf softens the subtle oud and woody sandalwood. Forteresse Light has a sweet base: the labdanum, a resin obtained from rockrose (a Mediterranean shrub), maintains the warm, floral aspect of its origins. Also in the base, we find saffron. This ‘red gold’ brings out a unique, coppery, spiced note with a somewhat “leathery” facet. This superb fragrance has a mysterious Eastern character and is an ode to the luxuriant vegetation of warmer lands.” – a note from the brand.
