About the brand
Fig Extasy is a sunset in a fig garden filled with the aromas of fig tree bark, green leaves and ripe fruit warmed by the rays of the setting sun. Fig Extasy is Amélie Mansera's memory of her holiday in Saint-Tropez, her first crush, her first date in this garden and her first kiss under the crown of a huge fig tree. Amélie recalls that the fig tree was so lush that the spreading branches reached almost to the ground, concealing, like a dome, a couple of lovers secluded under the tree. Amélie says that her lover once carved their initials into the bark of the fig tree, and to this day, when she visits her father's house in Saint-Tropez, she sometimes looks under the fig tree, runs her hand over the initials and remembers her first love.
2011 Pierre Montale gives birth to the mancera house. This is the beginning of a unique collaboration between a father and his daughter. 2017 Amélie Becomes the artistic director for the mancera fragrances to push this multi-generation project forward. He is an inveterate traveller of the far east, with an ancestral knowledge that was passed on to him in the darkest corners of the workshops of master perfumers. She is a photographer and a visionary visual artist, passionate about art deco and in love with the fragrances that have been the environment she grew up in since early childhood, right by his side. Graphic arts then merge with olfactory design and into a work that stands the test of time. Purity and geometry inspire the creation of the elixirs and their crystalline boxes. Mancera transcends western and eastern inspirations in this room where four hands are busy at work. This family sonata produces a synesthesic, visual and olfactory dance, a journey to the edge of remote lands. Where myths are born and the future is drawn.
