I have a number a of Manceras including Intense Cedrat Boise and this by far is my favorite Mancera fragrance. In my opinion, this is a great office scent. Great review.
I just put this on so I could see how much I relate to what you're saying and I agree fully. I get a lavender soapy vibe but after that it's so well blended that I have trouble picking out notes. Do believe it leans masculine however it also has unisex vibes although admittedly there are many other fragrances I'd prefer my lady to wear. I love it and it doesn't bother me to spray a bit more heavy on the trigger as I go with two sprays to the chest and two to the back of hands. Overall a fantastic value with a performance to cost consideration.
You are a brave and lucky man! Lol. There's some note in it that bothered my senses and I don't even consider spraying 5 times "overspraying". Cool that took that fragrance journey with me as you watched the video! Have a good one Tim!
One of the best performers out the gate for Mancera. Very similar to Red Tobacco. I haven't tried Daarej yet though. Looks like a solid fall/winter contender and it's priced very well.
Bro, i´m from Brazil and i was searching for Mancera Reviews and find your profile. Just continue to do your videos, very very good, really like your channel, good luck with everything god bless u. Thanks for the review, it helps me a lot. If i can suggest something, 'Red Tobacco' for next videos
Oooo compliments, I'd say not many crazy enough. I actually don't get a ton of compliments outside of my immediate and extended family. People in Florida seem like they aren't crazy about fragrances as I don't smell it on others that often. At least not with the environments that I frequent.
I like them equally. I find Hindu to be easier to wear than Black Gold in certain situations. However Black Gold is more unique to me with a dense scent character.
What’s the closest frag you can compare this too. Got a good blind buy opportunity and cannot be bothered to go into the boutique (I live on the outskirts of the main city) just to smell this.
My opinion is that it has its own identity as I haven't smelled anything like it YET. However, I do think gives off an identity of a versatile fragrance that wears a bit thick like a fragrance like Xerjoff 40 Knotts. I'm not sure if it's blind buy worthy because it has floral notes in it that everyone may not enjoy. I know I'm answering this a bit late but I hope it helped with a decision.
This one actually performs very well on my skin. I actually had to hold back on the sprays after my first impression because of a headache I got. It's not a beast mode performer, but it has solid projects for about 3 hrs. I have the screw cap btw.
I've been wearing it during the summer. It's a little thick for the season, but that's when I got it. I actually have not put it back on since September, but maybe I'll make it my sotd soon once the weather calms down a bit down here in FL.
Eh, that's tuff. I think it can be pulled off in temperature controlled environments no problem but if I was to wear it outside I may find it annoying. It wears like Y EDP by YSL or Xerjoff 40 Knotts. I only wear those when I'm indoors mainly because of their thick scent profile. It isn't a scent that has notes that scream fall/winter/spring/summer to me if that makes sense. I hope this helps.
This is why fragrances are solely subjective lol. I would not want to smell this on a woman. I think it’s clearly masculine. I dont really pick up on the soapy vibe either.
Haha, not saying I would like for a woman to wear it either, but I just know some women like to get down with some "masculine" scents. Concerning the soapy element, I was reading through fragrantica and saw it mentioned so I figured I'd address it.
@@scentvibes yeah I sampled this sometime ago, along with Hindu Kush and Aoud Blue Notes. Really enjoyed all three, but pulled the trigger on HK for the full bottle. Cant wait until Black Gold gets delivered.
@@scentvibes honestly, one would be hard pressed to find another fragrance that smell similar, unless its another fragrance with that cannabis note. Now with that being, this smells nothing like weed. There is this green type of smell but its not weed smelling at all. I believe in the top there is “explosion of spices” and you definitely get that but it has a bit of freshness as well. As it settles, the vanilla pods sort of pop out a bit. Complex fragrance that has killer performance and longevity. 2-3 sprays and you’re set.

I agree and you won't be smelling like anyone else. It will definitely get you through the work day. Thanks for stopping by again!
One of my favorite from the house. Very nice combination of fresh and Deep notes
Just ordered this today for part of my bday gift to myself 😝
I hope you enjoy it! Happy Birthday!

Probably that clove or whatever spice is
I have Black Gold and it is a lavender 💣. It's definitely beast mode. I compared this to a very toned down Daarej by Rasasi

Dareej Rasasi is clone of Valentino V which is discontinued
@@scentvibes dareej Rasasi highly recommend and hella cheap too
Really like your new channel man, good luck with everything! I've been thinking about getting Haltane and saw your videos. 👍
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Haltane is a great fragrance in my humble opinion. I love it!
@@scentvibes does it smell iso e super heavy like Herod? I really dislike Herod.
@@mentalplane no not at all! If that's your reservation you shouldn't have to worry.
"If you spray too much of this you're going to piss someone off" 😂... I love that quote 😂

Hi Warlley, glad you discovered the channel. Thanks so much for the encouragement! Not a bad suggestion though as I've recently acquired it.
Red Tobacco review is now live!
I love this scent, ive had it for 1 year. Out of 10 how has this been in terms of compliments for you.
Oooo compliments, I'd say not many crazy enough. I actually don't get a ton of compliments outside of my immediate and extended family. People in Florida seem like they aren't crazy about fragrances as I don't smell it on others that often. At least not with the environments that I frequent.
Would u prefer this over Hindu Kush?
I like them equally. I find Hindu to be easier to wear than Black Gold in certain situations. However Black Gold is more unique to me with a dense scent character.
HI. you need to make a video about Mancera Wind Wood

Is it just me or does this wear light on the skin? It doesn’t project kind of like Cedrat Boise doesn’t wother
This one actually performs very well on my skin. I actually had to hold back on the sprays after my first impression because of a headache I got. It's not a beast mode performer, but it has solid projects for about 3 hrs. I have the screw cap btw.
@@scentvibes It may just be my skin cuz I’m super dry. I have to moisturize with coconut oil to not be ashy. 🤦🏿♂️
which season do you wear it in?
I've been wearing it during the summer. It's a little thick for the season, but that's when I got it. I actually have not put it back on since September, but maybe I'll make it my sotd soon once the weather calms down a bit down here in FL.
Yes!!!!!!!!
Yesssir!
Can you wear it in summer?

@@ResplendentRaider interesting 🤔. I love complex fragrances and your description of this one helps pushes me in the right direction. Thanks!
It's soap and pumice.
