Bishara: Mantarang – Ensar Oud’s New Oriental Woody Scent

Ensar Oud has unveiled Bishara: Mantarang, a new unisex fragrance that blends Cambodian oud with a surprisingly sweet and tropical twist. Launched in 2026, this oriental woody scent has already earned a perfect score from early admirers.

From the very first sniff, Mantarang feels rich and multi-layered. It pairs the depth of oud with banana, mango, coconut and milk, creating a creamy, almost gourmand character that sets it apart from more conventional oud perfumes.

The opening bursts with citrus and spice – mandarin and cinnamon – before settling into a heart of exotic woods and floral touches. The interplay between sharp spices and soft florals makes for a balanced, intriguing transition.

At its heart, Bishara: Mantarang is all about the oud. The Cambodian oud is smooth and resinous, supported by sandalwood and roasted nuts that add a toasty, comforting warmth. This is not a harsh, medicinal oud; rather, it feels refined and welcoming.

What really makes this composition stand out is its lactonic, fruity side. Banana, mango, coconut and even a hint of pudding and coffee lend a creamy sweetness, whilst pear and musk keep it light and sensual. The result is a scent that feels both exotic and familiar.

The drydown reveals a powdery, musky base that lingers close to the skin. The woody and spicy accords remain, but they soften into an elegant finish. It is a fragrance that evolves beautifully over time, rewarding patience and close attention.

Bishara: Mantarang is a testament to Ensar Oud’s artistry. It takes a classic oriental woody structure and infuses it with playful, unexpected elements, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions. Its unisex nature means it can be worn by anyone who appreciates complexity and character.

This perfume will appeal to oud enthusiasts looking for something unconventional, as well as those who enjoy sweet, creamy and tropical fragrances. If you appreciate niche blends that combine tradition with creativity, Mantarang is for you.

Bishara: Mantarang is a bold, beautifully crafted addition to Ensar Oud’s collection. With its perfect early rating and distinctive character, it stands out as a must-try for collectors and adventurous fragrance lovers alike.
