The second we smelled this, we were positively overcome by its exotic yet approachable beauty. Named for a village in Madagascar known for its legendary lychee fruit (also spelled litchi), it's presented here as a sweet, honeyed and mysterious floral-tinged pudding-like fruit fragrance with amazing hidden depths -- not purple berry fruit, not bright citrus fruit, but rich and delicate lychee, a scent that's like tropical fruits meets ripe red fruits with a soft, creamy floral mixed in. We've never smelled anything quite like it -- ever -- and we had gourmand lovers, fruity fans, floral worshippers and even deep, dangerous fragrance lovers sampling this and positively banging their wrists on the counter demanding to buy it…and we didn't even carry it yet. A custardy, creamy sweet fruit dessert of a perfume laced with rose water, we can't compare it to anything you've ever tried before and we're quite certain you'll be utterly smitten by this rare beauty. Moist, sweet, rich and delicate…all at the same time.

Customer Reviews
Fruity, rose-floral. Enjoyable, but not exciting. Not the most memorable, but happy to experience it.
I don't usually "hate" fragrances, and I'm a fan of sweet fragrances. Delina is part of my signature scent rotation, and I quite like Tihota, so I had high hopes for this one from Indult. Wrong I was. This is sickeningly sweet, synthetic, cloying, just an overall abomination of a scent. I couldn't stand it.

The only review you need is the review telling you to go sample it. It is very beautiful. On paper it reminded me of Eden by Kayali minus the apple. On skin it is more reminiscent of Pink Me Up by Atelier Des Ors minus the powdery citrus. It is a deeply sugary sweet rose with just enough tartness to make it very bright and youthful. If you are into the frilly dress equivalents of perfume, this is a contender. I thought I was done with the over-saturation of litchi fragrances on social media this summer but this proves litchi has great range (compare to Azora) and is still worth exploring as a note.
doesn’t last throughout the day!!! I wish it did! The scent is so warm and gorgeous but will not be purchasing because it doesn’t linger all day….I don’t even smell it anymore half way though the day!
I love lychee in fragrances and decided to try Manakara. It smells like those lychee jellies that come in small. Smells amazing when initially spraying but it doesn’t have decent longevity- maybe 1-3 hours max. This is a great option for gourmand lovers who want to add something tropical-fruity to their collection.
This is the best rose fragrance out there in my opinion… something about it reminds me of childhood memories, playing with my rose scented plastic dolls (whatever that smell was, it has been reproduced in Manakara…) I’m not saying this smells like plastic, but smells like childhood dolls. It’s a bit sweet, ethereal, rose petals and sugar water!
It’s soft but persistent, was able to smell it radiating off my skin for about 6-7 hours. I NEED a full bottle of this!!
