Fragrance manufacturer Mane, in cooperation with the designer house Pearlfisher, launched a new project and the fragrance named Yu (Chinese for rain). Yu was created by Cecile Krakower from Mane. It was produced only in 500 bottles that can be purchased in a few shops world wide only by invitation. Current price is 5000 USD for the crystal bottle designed by Brosse that weights 500 grams, whose capacity is really not important. The precious rain Yu is blended from high quality and natural ingredients, obtained immediately at the spot with Jungle Essence method. That way the notes of African freesia and Asian mandarin leaf are developed, opening the composition together with bergamot, tangerine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang. The heart is composed of a kind of magnolia, Champaca, along with a note of Genet (an ancient species of a small carnivore which resembles the cat and the marten, its glands producing an intensive scent to mark their territory) and rose wood. Vetiver, sandalwood and vanilla are settled at the base. Although it is named after a Chinese word, the fragrance was allegedly inspired by the scent of the nature that is awakened by a rain in the South France warm July day.
