Literally …..Fragrance World is on fire….they are dropping bomb after bomb…..great quality, very close to OG’s scent and awesome performance…. And best of all is the tiny price tag…..🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩..JL
Searched for a review of this fragrance and then after watching this video ordered it in an instant. Had it in my ebay watchlist for ages and one of the sellers was participating in the current 15% off discount. £16.96 instead of £19.99. Oh, and that reminds me… thank you for always mentioning the price in GBP. It frustrates me how so many other UK-based reviewers on TH-cam have sold out and only mention prices in $! What about your UK viewers?! Mention both currencies if that is where the majority of your viewers are based but don’t forget about us Brits! Thank you Jon.
Thank you for your comments my friend, and I hope you enjoy your instant love….😉….Allow for macceration and you will get the full potential…. And as for the British thing…. I will always say how much I spend so always in GBP….. and people using other currencies can always do the maths….😁…. Stay safe and never come out of your scent bubble…..😀….best wishes from JL
Thanks for the tip Leggy! I love your reviews. I was placing an order and the website had this so I threw this in and it put me over the free shipping threshold.
Allow for a couple of weeks macceration and then this will become your go to fragrance…incredibly close to instant crush and a decent performance….don’t forget to add a comment when you have it and have been wearing it for a while….thanks for your support…best wishes from JL
maceration? i just got mine a few days ago and on my first test i could still smell it on mu wrist after 12 hours but the sillage still wasnt close to the original, should i let it macerate or not it already seems pretty beast mode though
@@DxRkZ_ You can use it sparingly, Leggy just means most of these get better with time so don't use the whole bottle up in the first week or two if the performance isn't great at first so you get the most out of your fragrance.
@@JONLEGG I'm a few weeks in, and it's very nice! Kind of similar to Armaf Untold but different enough. I might actually like this one more. It's been in the high 80s F here in the States so I'm probably going to let it sit until October. :) I agree this is a great pick up for the price, it smells very nice.
Great review Jon , Mancera Instant Crush , is a beautiful fragrance , i have never put my nose or even knew that Fragrance World had a clone ... thank you for this info ... (MONTERA) by Fragrance World is around $59. to $ 70. in Australia ,,, big hugs and stay safe , much love from Kat xo
Good evening lovely Kat…yes instant crush is, as you say…’a beautiful fragrance’…. And whilst the Mancera isn’t ridiculous price Fragrance world have done a spot on clone for a much smaller price tag 🥳🥳😍…so great for everyday wear…..so till next time stay safe and happy and spraying….much love and joy from JL….xxx
At Manceras price point, it's cheap enough to wear as a daily. Bought one Fragrance World (Anaqeed), it smells good but doesn't last long. Won't bother again. The Atomizer sounded awful compared the Manceras pressurised Atomizer. Instant Crush is a brilliant fragrance though.
Thank you my friend, I appreciate your input and your thoughts….to be fair Mancera is a reasonable price for niche you are right….and yes…instant crush is an awesome, legendary fragrance….👌…. Best wishes from JL
@@JONLEGG I'm buying around 20 fragrances a month.🤣 I keep ordering numerous FW frags and enjoy them. Also, I am about to order Maison Alhambra Panther for 8 pounds from one of the online discounters. It is their clone of the original Phantom.😱 I have Hayaati Al Malakey, and although it is a clone of Phantom EDP in the black bottle, I don't think it smells as nice as the original Phantom EDT in the silver robot bottle.
Two minds and not a single thought???? Oh wait I think I may have got that expression wrong 😂😂😂😂…ok so yes…this one is proof that Fragrance World is on fire….they have seriously got this one spot on….👌….JL
@@JONLEGG got the sample today, bloody hell it smells good. never smelt instant crush but instant love smells top! may I ask, does the atomiser cap come off? 🤔
I’m going to say give it a good few sprays and then cool dark place for a couple of weeks….😉….hopefully then the magic will happen…..best wishes from JL
Thank you for your questions, the only Yardley fragrance I have is pour Homme which is very similar to Joop Homme…sorry I am not familiar with the one you mentioned…but maybe someone else seeing this post might answer you….best wishes from JL
Hi Jon, I have a big problem, I've been wearing ultra violet by Pacco Rabbane for 23 years and now it's totally lost that strength it used to have, and it was so unique and special that no other perfume is even similar to it now. it had that special touch, a mixture of mint, amber and vanilla that I can't even describe to anyone who hasn't experienced it. and now my question is, is there anyone who, in your opinion, is similar to him?
You know my friend, I borrowed that bottle from my then next door neighbour and it seriously grabbed me…but sadly the performance was disappointing…so I see your frustration…honestly I don’t know of another fragrance similar to ultra violet it did have a strange uniqueness…but maybe someone else seeing this comment may be able to advise you…I hope you find something to replace it with that keeps you happy….best wishes from JL
@@JONLEGG thank you very much for your answer, and it's a real shame that ultra violet is now reformulated so much that it's simply not what it was before, and it was like a masterpiece, like an artistic painting that no one could paint or copy. all the best to you!
Thank you for your question, honestly my friend Afkaar and instant love are on a par…nothing separates them….so my suggestion is to go with whichever ever you can get hold of at a decent price. I understand that the fragrance world is currently more readily available. Stay safe and keep spraying….JL
Another great review Leggy! After your Lattafa Afkaar review (early last year) I managed to grab a bottle and it's an amazing clone. The Mrs and I both use it and we both get compliments whenever we wear it. I highly recommend Afkaar, that's if you can find a bottle 😊 Would you say this clone, Instant Love is better in any way than Afkaar? Is it worth buying if you already have Afkaar, or is it worth getting once you've ran out? By the way, I used my Fragrance World's Exchange Unlimited Blanc bottle for the first time in a few months. It really has improved (especially the performance) and I would say it 'may' even be better than my Ramz Silver! Might be worth trying it out for yourself, can't go wrong with FW the moment.
Thank you for all your comments and for sharing your thoughts and experiences with Afkaar….honestly if you were to spray instant crush (OG) and instant love and afkaar blind you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference…seriously !!! So my recommendation is to enjoy (with the Mrs) your bottle of Afkaar and then replace it with instant love….you certainly don’t need both at the same time. Thanks for the advice on the other fragrance world…it does seem like I need to check it out. So stay safe and pump the sprayer constantly 😁….JL
This was such a good pitch. I had to get it off Amazon. Its arrived and sadly lm anosmic to it. I cant smell anything except some alcohol fumes. Does it need maceration do you think?
Macceration is required…so spray it maybe 15 times and then leave it in a cool dark place for 2 weeks and hopefully the full potential will be there. Don’t forget to drop a comment below after you have been wearing it for a while so others can see your thoughts on it. Best wishes from JL
Thank you for your questions my friend, honestly they are almost the same in terms of performance and how well they do the instant crush clone….so I would just go for whichever one is available at the best price. These are both neck and neck….best wishes from JL
Thanks for the video jon . I do like your enthusiasm for enjoying your fragrances it pretty much mirrors mine. What would you say is your most complimented fragrance? For some reason pdm Pegasus and the clone Perseus seems to be mine and on the same level i would say jpg le male elixir probably to do with the vanillas in them. Btw ive just pulled the trigger on this because of this vid so thanks ( for now) 😂
I appreciate your support, and great to hear from someone else who has the same passion and enthusiasm 🥳🥳…ok so my top five most compliment fragrances are Erba Pura, Allure Homme sport extreme, oudmazing, le male elixir and BR540…..!! As for instant crush (or instant love) that is the one that is guaranteed to get comments….😉….best wishes from JL
What part of birmingham you from Leggy? I may have quite a few fragrances that I want rid of for a decent price. I have far too many, gave some to my sons but there's some I'd like to claw back a little money from
So for about 1.5 -2 hours it’s is radiating off of you nicely and then for about another 2-3 hours you are in an arms length scent bubble…..skin scent into the evening and clothes you can detect it next day…..best wishes from JL in 🇬🇧
Thank you for your question my friend, ok so literally the only thing that separates these two is the price…..they are SO close in terms of smell and SO close in terms of performance….if you have the funds then purchase the Mancera, but if you are on a budget then get the Lattafa. If you are likely to wear it often then go with the Lattafa because you will feel comfortable with spraying it so often and not concern yourself about how much you are getting through. I hope that my answer helps you and that it makes sense. Best wishes from JL
Good question my friend….both are amazing but the fragrance world is by far cheaper and more readily available so I would go with that. Honestly though either one will entertain you and either one will give you a very good Instant Crush experience…..😉…..best wishes from JL
Would you recommend emir super crush or montera instant love? I am looking for a clone to wear everyday because I am using up my Instant crush way to much 😂
Thank you for your question, super crush is a decent clone but because they didn’t quite get the amber right the rose in the middle is allowed to be a little too jammy…so honestly instant love is spot on…all the right notes in all the right places…and a decent performance…..(and incredibly it is 1/2 the price of the super crush)….my serious recommendation is instant love (by fragrance world) best wishes from JL
Another great video! Picked this up off eBay few days ago, how long have you had your bottle? Think it needs macerating, also have you got Harmony code absolute? Hearing alot of great things about that one 👍
Thanks for your comments, I have had my bottle for about 3 months, and I would suggest a couple of weeks of macceration…then it will be good to go…👌…and yes the one you mentioned is currently in my eBay watch list….(big fan of the OG….so a cheaper option would be nice to have) best wishes from JL
One thing I don’t love about Mancera is the inconsistency of the batches and last time I got a bottle of Instant Crush I happened to ‘luck in’ after paying full price for a dud batch. I know exactly what it ought to smell like as I saved the last bit of a sample of the right stuff for comparison and a single spray lasts hours and hours. The dud batch had longevity of 10 mins when I bought it and has been inching its way up to a couple of hours over months but is very one dimensional. A dud. Got it from a major online frag retailer in my country; quite reputable so it's genuine. Fragrantica is full of reviews of people who have experienced similar dud batches. I’m done. I’ll be be buying the Fragrance World one. Yeah FW are on fire! Try their Ace of Spades, it’s addictive and SO well done. Thank you - good review .
@@JONLEGG Thanks for your recommendation. I'll definitely try this before anther bottle of the Mancera. Uncle Pierre should be in that naughty chair with those inconsistent batches I think 🤣
