"Fort & Manle is a Maison de Parfum whose philosophy is to continually create individualistic, eclectic and often eccentric handcrafted, luxury perfume. Fort & Manle is an independent, artisanal perfume house which is founded and wholly owned by the perfumer, himself. Founded by Rasei Fort, the House is an amalgamation of minds, ideas, ideals and spirit. As self-taught perfumer, Rasei, continually reference and cultivate pop-culture, history and varied cultures, including their own rich, Turkish heritage by scouring the world for the finest raw materials and combining them with his inspirations, evoking the pomp and pageantry of the Empires of old. This has resulted in the creation of luxurious compositions which combine the modern with 'Old-World' sensibilities." - a note from the brand.
