Perfume changes on the skin. The same Capri Narcissist smells differently at the 5th minute and at the 5th hour. Here are the three phases.
i.
Outerwear
Top · 0–15 minutes
The pistachio opens—creamy, nutty, with a light salty nuance. The Calabrian bergamot surrounding it is sweeter and richer than lemon. Cardamom and pink pepper provide a dry spice on top.
It's not "fresh" in the standard sense—rather a nutty-citrus opening with a hint of spice
ii.
Average
Heart · 30 min – 2 hours
After half an hour, the tuberose comes forward - oily, dense, with a raw milky undertone. Ylang-ylang accompanies it - banana-fruity, not floral.
Jasmine adds a touch of "dirtiness" between the two. Without it, the white flowers would be too sweet and ornamental. With it, they have character.
This is the heart of the perfume. For the next hour and a half, this is exactly what you'll smell like.
iii.
Basic
Base · 2 hours+
From two hours onwards, the base begins. The coconut here is a true absolute – it smells of warm skin after sun exposure, not confectionery coconut. The amber underneath is resinous, quiet, adding depth without sweetness.
Tonka adds hay and almond. Benzoin - a light vanilla nuance. This is the base that remains on clothes until the next day
Capri Narcissist uses real tuberose absolute — a raw material costing around €3,000 per kilogram. The batch consists of 300 bottles. Both decisions are connected
01
Batch vial
Standard industry
5,000 – 20,000 vials
Tuberose absolute costs €3,000/kg, while synthetic tuberose costs only €120/kg. A batch of 200 bottles allows for the luxury of the real flower. However, mass production of 5000+ units is forced to choose chemistry. This is all the math behind niche versus mass perfumery.
02
Maceration
Standard industry
48 – 72 hours
Maceration "harmonizes" the raw materials in alcohol, smoothing out sharp edges and eliminating the alcoholic smell. A perfume that has only macerated for 48 hours will initially smell strongly of pure alcohol. After 8 weeks of maceration, this problem disappears.
03
Extrait, not EDP
Mass market
12 – 15% on average
One spray lasts 6 hours, and two — over 8. Regular eau de parfums (EDPs) require 3–4 sprays for the same result, because their alcohol evaporates quickly. That's why a bottle of Capri Narcissist lasts much longer than a mass-market perfume, even with similar use.
Tuberose absolute. 33% essence. 8 weeks maceration. 200 bottle batch. Made in Italy

Questions
These are not the FAQs you need to read. These are the questions you actually ask us—and the honest answers, not the marketing ones.
We started as Pheromante in 2025 with a promise we no longer believe in — that perfume can chemically manipulate another's behavior. No perfume can. Pheromone marketing has been debunked in laboratories since the 90s.
In 2026, we rebranded to Phero Mànte — with an accent, without the pheromone claim. What remained: perfumes that work through presence, not through biochemical manipulation. 23% concentration. 6 weeks maceration. 300 bottles per batch.
The URL remains the old one for technical reasons. The name remains because our customers remember it. The promise has changed.
Tuberose itself is associated with feminine perfumes, but the composition here is balanced towards unisex. Pistachio, cardamom, and pink pepper give a masculine spicy start. Coconut, amber, and tonka bean finish in an oriental base, not a confectionery floral one.
On skin, Capri Narcissist finishes as tropical-oriental, not floral-sweet. It is suitable for men who already wear white florals — these have a tradition in niche perfumery of 50+ years.
8 hours on skin, 24+ hours on clothing. This is the result of 23% concentration (most EDPs are 12–15%). Two sprays on a pulse point are enough for the whole day. If you spray 6 times "just in case," you'll be hated in the office — this perfume is not for bathing.
The formula is an alcohol-based EDP — standard for niche perfumes. If you have a reaction to most colognes or EDTs, you will most likely have one to Love Bombing as well. The recommendation is to first test on the inside of the arm for 24 hours. Not tested on animals. Phthalate-free.
Because we would have to sell it for €120. The retail margin for perfumery chains is 50–60%. We sell directly — you pay the production cost + a small margin for us. That's why we are online-only and don't offer discounts — except for Black Friday :).
You have 30 days to wear it. To work, to meetings, everywhere. If it doesn't become your scent — if you don't reach for it without thinking — return the bottle (even empty) and get your money back. No questions asked, no forms.
Bulgaria: 1–2 business days with Econt. Romania and Greece: 3–5 business days. We ship from Sofia on the day of the order if placed by 2:00 PM. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as the shipment leaves the warehouse.
Yes, if dosed correctly. One spray is noticeable at 2 meters – enough for colleagues to remember you, but not so much as to disrupt a meeting in a small office.
Recommendation: for an office with close colleagues – one spray on the neck in the morning (not on clothes). For the first 4 hours, the projection is moderate. After that, the perfume settles into a leathery base – close to you, not overwhelming the room.
For evenings or spacious rooms – two sprays without a problem.
