Marine notes with lots of mandarin, clean, elegant, summery, and super refreshing. One of the most wearable from Dark Beat due to its versatility; very pleasant and easy to wear. You can apply it generously and still smell great and pleasant.
Green Nico
Manaqua from Darkbeat Parfums, courtesy of José Manuel. Very aromatic, fresh, and balsamic citrus opening. After five minutes, as it dries down, I notice a very pleasant rose scent. In my perception, I don’t detect salty or myrrh notes, which would have been nice since myrrh is one of my favorites. The longevity on my skin was about 7 hours until it faded away. A totally unisex perfume.

Manaqua from Darkbeat Parfums, courtesy of José Manuel. Very aromatic, fresh, and balsamic citrus opening. After five minutes, as it dries down, I notice a very pleasant rose scent. In my opinion, I don’t feel salty or myrrh notes, although I would have liked the myrrh since it’s one of my favorites. It lasted about 7 hours on my skin before disappearing. Totally unisex.
Taurien
Starts with a juicy mandarin wrapped in a marine atmosphere. On my dry skin, it maintains the mandarin scent but surrounded by a herbal, aromatic, slightly aquatic, and intensely salty halo. It has moderate sillage and 7 hours of longevity. Completely unisex, summery, and ideal for dressing up by the seaside for casual occasions. Scent: 7/10, Longevity: 7/10, Sillage: 6.5/10, Versatility: 7/10.

I saved it for the end of the Dark Beat pack. The first time it didn’t hook me, but upon trying it again, wow, how good it is! It’s citrusy with that fine soap and clean smell that sticks to the skin, neck, and shirt cuffs. Very impressive.
Emorandeira
Mandarin scent with a fresh, marine, and aromatic base. Easy to wear and super pleasant. Ideal for everyday use, especially in summer or spring. Smells very Mediterranean, clean, and fresh without drawing too much attention. Scent: 9, Longevity: 8, Sillage: 6, Versatility: 9, Originality: 7, Overall: 8.
