Due to Scentrifical Force's extreme adoration for Black to Black I purchased this frag last year. I do enjoy this rosey saffron leather monster very much. Perfect for night time and cold. Wonderful, Joy, to see your review on this under-reported gem! I have not worn it recently, and as Douro has vanished from my skin an hour later, I will give this a spray and smell awesome while listening to your review! Ah, yes, it's very heavy and dark - even gothic. As Joy says, this will beat out any other guys frags in a room with no problem. Of all of Mancera's offerings, I do love Aoud Vanille more.
Dear Joy vai, love your reviews. Im one of your Bangladeshi folks writing all the way from Doha. Just got this one after your review. It definitely makes sense now when you said that you need to love the smell of rose in order to like this perfume! Im inclined to like it but I guess I need to spend some time with this fragrance when the weather cools down a little bit. It also makes sense when you said “cutting through the cold”. Definitely a cold weather fragrance. Keep up the good work vai. All the best and wishes from Doha.
Nice review Joy! This one is is a powerhouse . . . not for the faint of heart, as well as polarizing ! Definitely for special occasions . . . day or night . . . cooler/colder temps. Go easy on the trigger or pay the price !! Thanks for sharing ! :)
Hey buddy and to everyone else reading this: I was insanely eager to get this fragrance in Germany and you cannot imagine what I had to get through to get it two months ago. I googled so much and watched all the reviews on TH-cam. When I finally got my bottle and my nose on it, I was utterly disappointed. This smells like soap! I repeat: it smells like soap! Really really harsh oud and definitely - I repeat - definitely not suited for Western standards. There is a reason for it being a middle eastern exclusive. I hope this is good advice for everyone who gets caught by all the positive ratings. Kind regards from Cologne, Germany
i second this. i purchased my bottle some time ago when it was still available on notino and i found the scent to be almost unwearable. Pungent oud & rose smell that just doesn't seem to fit into my region of the world. The quality however is good and the performance nuclear, yet i have to advise to tread carefully and to sample before buying. Thanks for the review. Greetings from Austria
This is a classic Rose-Oud ; it's good in any culture - you obviously should know what Rose/Oud combo smells like before you buy a 100$ bottle of perfume... (Rose/Oud: dosn't smell like soap lol, many hand soaps use rose, but that dosn't mean rose smells like soap - more, some soaps smells like rose.)
I bought Tom Ford noir de noir and I love it so much that I decided to go for another rose Scent so I bought black to black but you are RIGHT this is soooooooooo soapy that I’m actually regretting buying it.
Hello joy, I recently got this juice and feel disappointed. I was expecting a beast mode frag but nah.Don't know if it's a fake or a reformulated one. It's a screw cap but batch code showed it was made in 2020. Thought from 2020 is the magnetic cap? And again I think I noticed the tiniest of particle in the juice, maybe my mind is playing tricks on me 😂. Very underwhelming frag.
Hi Joy! Would love it if you could do a review on Mancera Orchid Aoud? It gets really high ratings on Fragrantia and I see Frangrancex with 17 bottles of it at $85 each and I would like to purchase it but not before seeing your video review. Thanks for your consideration and keep up the great work!! : )
Is this similar to Black Prestigium? Never mind, you answered the question at the end of the video. Thanks for the review. I don’t think this one is for me.
no, its not, it is still in production, in the video joy explains that it was just distributed to dubai, but nowadays you can find it in other countries maybe.
for the record, I received mine yesterday and I can say that it is number one in my collection at the moment, got many unexpected compliments, so many that I can not believe today the reactions I experienced yesterday when I used it.
@@juanfernandoortizmarin7713 I still have half a bottle now ,I purchased long time ago ,it is very nice but I can hardly use in my Country it is too hot here ,,,,and some people get offended by it so I try to be careful just in winter nights maybe
Bro i bought this on ur review..... The fact is it dosent project more thn 2 hours...looking at this hype n ur review i bought this for 8500 which i was not geting easily... The bottle is original but i cant smell on more thn 2 hours nor anyone can notice this... 😔
This was love at first sniff for me when I smelled it in the Notino shop here in Bucharest. Beast projection, beast longevity, great mature scent - all attributes of this fragrance.
Unfortunately, this is 90% beastly soapy rose with saffron and maybe some leather. There's virtually no oud here. For all of you looking to purchase this, make sure to sample it first.

I just got my bottle in today and after first sniff, I want a backup bottle. Wow!
Smelled this 2 days ago and now I'm proud to say I own 3 bottles.

I finally received this. It is the most powerful fragrance I own. It's a monster yet awesome! Heed the warning!
Nice review Joy!

Joy, you convinced me man. i am pulling the trigger on this one.
what do you think?
I really loved this review.
I tested it and is my next buy! Nuclear rose oud goodness!
I get blackcurrant rubber .... It is absolutely adorable x
I just got me a bottle sprayed 6 times on me and lawdy. I’m going to need another bottle. Got it on eBay from Dubai!
Damn dude. This is one of my favorites. I love this stuff.
thanks for the review, i cant wait for my red tobacco.
Bro. Mancer red tobacoo or mancera black to black? Which one is beast?
Red tobacco
Bought this Gem Based on ur Review...
Thanks for the good review, Joy! I wish this fragrance was easier to acquire here in the States...

Is this anything close to MFK Oud Satin Mood?
Not even close. Nothing is like Satin Mood. The closest thing is Armani prive rose d'arabie
Actually that's incorrect Montales Oudmazing is like Oud Satin Mood

If it was a magnetic cap bottle, you can't blame Joi, Mancera fragrances have been reformulated to be weaker and put in a magnetic cap bottle.
Hey Joy what is your favourite Mancera?
Fantastic take on this one!
This was love at first sniff for me when I smelled it in the Notino shop here in Bucharest. Beast projection, beast longevity, great mature scent - all attributes of this fragrance.
Bro from these winter fragrances wich one do you recommend to me for university "Guerlain l'homme ideal edp , Valentino uomo intense , ch men prive "
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Plz take good care of your self Sahab... Good reviews
Will this beat amouage interlude man?
Damn yeah🤦♂️
Unfortunately, this is 90% beastly soapy rose with saffron and maybe some leather. There's virtually no oud here. For all of you looking to purchase this, make sure to sample it first.
Bro sillage and lomgivity of this fragrance?
Discontinued?
No I just picked it up in the states.
This and Black Aoud are pretty much identical.
I usually throw on 8 or 9 good sprays of this just before I go out the door to jump into work carpool with 5 other people in the vehicle.
Damn man, you trying to commit genocide or something lol
@@beefbroth6539 total head scratcher...the carpool didn't show up this morning to pick me up 🤔🤨 not sure why tho....
Pls review Oud Vanille by Frank Olivier
Good
Montale and Mancera are both made by the same guy.
