great video man, super helpful. i picked up aoud violet after watching this and really enjoy it, great day to day scent that makes me feel like i'm shower fresh and clean all day, definite winner
As a newbie to the frag community id really appreciate this format of trying a bulk of a houses scents and rating them .. helps me organize my thoughts as it feels overwhelming exploring a house when you feel like your behind on so many great scents from each house .. and its always confusing trying to figure out which one i should try next .. but with this format i will at least have heard of them all ..
A general idea of which houses are the “best” would really need to group niche and designers into their own groups. For me the designer top three would have Dior Chanel and dolce and Gabanna where Niche would have tom does private line Creed and Perfums de Marly. Hope that helps a little bit.
Only things is every scent is all prefernce. What one person loves the next person may hate. I always watch reviews but we have to take it with a grain of salt since its all prefrence
Both are made with cheap synthetics. When u pay $60 for a huge 4oz bottle, you’re not gonna get anywhere near the best ingredients. Mancera is cheaper than even dupe perfumes. And dupes are crap.
@@jcoop7 niche perfumers are companies that make only perfumes. Creed, mancer, amouage, nishane etc. Designers are companies like Dior Chanel YSL etc that make other producta
Im buying a testing set of the best sounding ones to me based off of your review here. Excellent content, descriptive, articulate, professional, genuine and very helpful. Thank you for this video!
Finally someone who speak language I understand. Most of frag reviews they start to talk about heavy chemistry, ingredients I'll never smell on their own and left me confused. One frag they make 20 min video. Review like this one say all needed to be said.
Black Gold is the most divided I've been on a fragrance. Overwhelming classic floral opening, but paired with a really leathery masculine drydown. It vascillates between being manly, grandmotherly, and just clean.
Yeah it's very out there for me, I love it and hate it at the same time, so weird. I own it btw, but haven't worn it much, maybe I'll give it more tries.
Hey Omar, I've picked up Saharian Wind yesterday. Your take was absolutely on point. It was nice, complex, boozy, sweet, spicy. Definitely hold its place against my Instant crush, Hindu kush, Red tobacco. I'm surprised you're the only one that talks about it. Definitely underrated scent. Apppreciate the quality content as always
Eric, I realize it's only been a month since your post, but I'm curious to know if you bought it, and if so, was it as good as you hoped? The reason I ask, is because I'm considering a Mancera "Summer" scent blind buy. 😊
I own a full bottle of Cedrat Boise. It is hands down the longest lasting fragrance I own. I sprayed a few blast on my hands a few weeks ago and then put some winter gloves on before a walk…every time I wear my gloves my hands smell strongly of Cedrat Boise. Lovely scent that you can wear nearly anytime anywhere. I think my next Mancera purchase is going to be Violet Oud.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together, I'm sure it was a lot of work and it's much appreciated. I've saved the video for future reference and am definitely interested in picking up Saharian Wind. Again, many thanks!
I have 12 Manceras, great house! My rankings are: 12. Sand Aoud 11. Hindu Kush 10. Fig Extacy 9. Sicily 8. Red tobacco 7. Instant Crush 6. Silver Blue 5. Aoud Lemon Mint 4. Black Gold 3. Cedrat Boise 2. Cedrat Boise Intense 1. Vetiver Sensual (so fresh and clean)!!
@@captainsonypony2709 if you like those you will love Wave Musk. It’s beast mode and projection is off the hook. You can layer it with Solel Italia also to get it to project. I have that one and it just never projected until I layered it with Wave Musk.
You are that dude! I’ve wondered about Mancera’s fragrances and you did them all. I think I’ll be checking out Kumkat Woods for sure and possibly black gold. Thank you for this ✊🏾✊🏾
In my opinion, Acqua di Parma has THE BEST fig fragrance with the Fico di Amalfi it’s so so good and the fig is the main player. It actually lasts pretty long too for the Blu Mediterranean line. Very addicting summer and spring scent
@@SchoolOfScent never heard of it or tried any BDK scents but the mix of fig, black tea, iris absolute abd tonka bean sounds insanely alluring. Is it masculine leaning?
true, Fico is sick and I doubt Mancera can get anywhere close in terms of ingredient quality. Recently I got Midnight Gold by Mancera and it's okay for first 3 minutes, but gets bland and sweet-ish in a weird way very quickly.
Absolutely love this kind of video. This helped me big time as I was just in the store the other day wanting to explore Mancera and saw a huge wall of fragrances not knowing where to start. Keep up the great work
I ordered online direct from Mancera and they should be arriving any day now. The card samples I previously purchased don't seem to have a batch listed. I'll update you with the batch number when they arrive.
I am 100% agree with your thoughts. I have almost all of them except 2 and you have explained in a very perfect way and the best part is that you have narrated every thing in the narration. Too good👍.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video and especially to have all of these fragrances on you from mancera. Ive been holding back on buying any mancera fragrance because i wasnt too sure but you made it very clear and understandable of all the fragrances and even listed the notes in basically all of them. This helps me build my collection
Roses vanille is amazing for women. My fiancée loves it. Very good performance, longevity and projection is great. This fragrance will get you noticed (recommended for females only) Cedrat boise ofcourse the best for men to get into Mancera. Also the only fragrance in my collection of over 20 fragrances that gets me noticed alongside Dylan blue and gucci oud intense
I’m a man & I wear roses vanille 😅 I used to wear it alone but now I layer it with other frags that I think miss some Vanilla & result are really good.
I own Red Tobacco and it is indeed a challenging fragrance. Often compared to PDM's Carlisle but i can't smell the similarities between the two. The opening is quite messy, especially upon the first appliance but it will smell better the more you wear it. I love it now for being something out of the ordinary.
Hands down the best fragrance of my 100+ collection, I’m a lumberjack from Minnesota if that helps, unbelievable power, and scent is so realistic, incredible
@@jorzzmarthin8046 Almighty? Is this a duel of the gods? Relax. We're talking perfume oils and alchohol in glass bottles here. Don't get all fangirlish on me for bringing up another fragrance. It's not that serious.
Agreed with your final thoughts and criticism on the brand. I like mancera a lot, in fact I would say they are one of the niche houses that are affordable and offer a large selection. One of the issues is that many scents smell too similar to one another, and the other would be the marketing, whether it's marketing to the wrong sex or marketing doesn't fit the name or bottle design. All that being said, they are easy to sample in places like twistedlilly for a low price and you can figure out which ones you would want to purchase a full bottle. I own around 16 bottles including some of the ones you listed (black gold, aoud lemon mint, royal vanilla, fig E, instant crush, aqua woods, melody of the sun, sand aoud, intense cedrat boise and lemon line). My current top 5 are Amberful, Melody of the sun, intense cedrat, vetiver sensuel, and aqua wood/soliel di italie (tie). I have aoud violet on the way, ordered it a few days ago for a really good price and I'm keeping my eye out for a good price of kumkat wood.
Man I must say that I really enjoyed your take on this brand👍🏾👍🏾 thanks to You and Justin Copeland I have stepped out of my comfort zone and have experienced some awesome fragrances as far as nich is concerned. You articulate your view points with a high level of class and humor ☺️ and I appreciate that🙏🏽🙏🏽 because of this video I will be sampling, Kumkat wood, Aoud Cafe, and precious oud. Thank you again for a extremely well done review and I look forward to more 👍🏾 this video earned you another subscriber 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was a fantastic, detailed and thorough review School of Scent. I tried Kumkat Wood based upon your content and I now have a new favorite. I would not have considered buying Kumkat Wood before watching this. Good job !!
@@tumarbongrox6074 Personaly, I get the most joy from from smelling MDF sawdust after the construction of a home built rabbit hutch .... P.S. Fu#k Off ...
I wore Cedrat Boise to a bar this weekend and a woman walked across the bar over to me to say I smelled “so good” while staring me in my eyes…I don’t think I need to explain what happened next 😂
I was completely baffled when I tried Crazy for oud and Aoud Blue Notes. Really loved both of them. They are two of my favorites, along side with instant crush (although i prefer arabians tonka by montale) and aoud lemon mint.
None of Mancera or Montale perfumes have any real Oud in any of their perfumes. It’s all crap fake Oud. If u want a perfume with authentic Oud, you’ll pay a small fortune. Over $700 for a taste.
Dope video! I appreciate the breakdown of their fragrances and the top 10 list at the end. I have a list of Mancera frags I want to buy and this helped to prioritize that list as well as give to me some other to consider.
Nice call on Kumkat Wood.. it walks a delicate line between citrus and pineapple, oud , and oddly..... teak. Only just slightly on the sweet side, but a very unique fragrance.
OMFG thank you!!! I just bought cedrat Boise, I realized i don't like it as much as I would have thought, it's too sweet BUT I appreciate the quality that it is and very intrigued about other flankers they have. Because if I find one that just hits right for me I know it'll easily be my top 5
Very thorough and comprehensive review. At least four of these fragrances will be added to my collection. I also like your honesty, it is a breath of fresh air. I've seen many fragrance reviews and this is easily on of the best!!
I have 11 Mancera perfumes and Kumkat wood is my favorite fragrance. Not sure if someone said this before, but I think is identical to CK be. CK be has been one of my favorite fragrances since it came out but it doesn’t last long, like don’t even an hour. I can also see Chanel Blanche but I think is closer to CK be. Great Reviews!
Dope video. I have 16 full bottles of manceras and a decant of one. I've owned 23. I don't go for them as much as I did at the beginning of my niche journey. But still I love the house. There are 2 in the women's frags that I really enjoy as a man. Pearl and musky garden. I definitely suggest getting your nose on these.
Hats off for powering through so many sweet fragrances. I think I heard so much hype from Cedrat Boise that my expectations were monumental. I think it'd be a decent gift, but I'm in no rush to get a full bottle. We'll see how I feel if/when I get through the travel size sample. I think I like the barbershop feel of Black Gold more for an easy, everyday scent. Saharian Wind and Melody of the Sun are probably the 2 Manceras that I like most and will be my first full bottles once the sample and travel size are used up. Saharian Wind just smells warm, and Melody of the sun is a simple, refreshing summer scent. Aoud Violet sample is on the way.
Good and quick review on Mancera line. I own full bottles of Cedrat boise and Aoud Violet. Both really good different style parfumes. I'm have to say your description on Aoud Violet is quite difficult for me to agree. It's kinda fresh in a flowery/woody way but not aquatic out of the shower. Interesting.
Could you do a montale version of this same concept? With this video, I have a clear guide into mancera purchases. It's a cost effective way of getting perfumes. Thanks man
Very helpful in picking out my discovery choices. Between you and Ross over at TLTG, I've gotten a great introduction to the brand. He said similar things about Deep Forest, but it actually makes me want to pick it up. Pierre Montale seems to get a bit more experimental with Mancera as opposed to his namesake house.
I have 18 Mancera and I did not blind buy any of them. Too Risky! You’re top 5 Mancera is very interesting. Royal Vanilla is definitely Mancera best vanilla scent overall. Velvet vanilla is lovely on the Ladies😍
Thanks very much for your hard work with this. I'm going through my second men's discovery set. I'm having a tough time deciding about which full bottle(s) to buy. Instant crush, hindu kush and red tobacco are my favorites so far.
Just discovered your review on this Brand. Well done! New sub.. OH! There are so many more fragrances on their site. Agreed, they should focus on doing more with less. Again, well done and ordering samples from a favorite site.
Thank you for doing this. Very informative. I am glad you kept notes as smelling them in succession like that can have an effect on your break down in that moment.
Mancera is my favourite house as they produce some pretty unique, but wearable scents for great prices. I own a bunch of them. My fav is probably cedrat boise, but mine doesn't last at all. I don't even like wearing it as I know I am gonna be disappointed lol. I own Holidays as a man and when I first smelt it I thought this is for women. I had a sample, but it smelt too good I had to get a bottle. It is the most complimented fragrance I own. Even when I give samples to people they tell me everyone compliments them too. If it is really hot I think a guy can wear it just because it smells so nice. It makes less sense wearing it any other time of the year, but summer time everyone has a sunscreen style smell about them, so it is ok lol
Red tobacco smells so freakishly good imo. Also projects like crazy. On another note,I have the og cedrat boise but your videos made me order the intense version of it. Cant wait to compaire the 2. Lastly, the aoud lemon mint smelled really nice on a friend of mine while on me i preffered the cedrat boise.
@@farukozdal9504 It's woodier, sweeter and doesnt have that very prominent lemon note at the start compaired to the normal cedrat boise. It's very nice. I personally preffer the intense CB for evening or early night summer occassions as it is a thicker scent and the original CB for morning/more casual occasions because it is lighter and more appropriate for the high morning temperatures.
Top Recommendation, having tried most of your top recommendations I can say my favourite by far is Oud Exclusive. Just incredible balance between all elements that’s comprise this perfume. One that I don’t get nose blind to most importantly since I like to wear nice fragrances for myself and like to continue to smell them as well as people around me. I picked up a 60ml bottle of Red Tobacco with some 8ml samples including Oud Exclusive and I wish I bought a full bottle of the Oud instead
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Mancera Cedrat Bosie and red Tobacco and Hindu Kush and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Thanks for this video, Omar! After seeing it I picked up a few samples from mancera: Aoud Lemon mint: A very fun fragrance, heavy citrus opening as Omar described (I like it. Dry down is amazing, after 3 hours I get a sort of lemon cake kind of scent, which later turns into a nice musky scent. Very good performance as well. Will definitely pick up a bottle of this. 10/10 Aoud Violet: Love it, a nice (kind of blue) blue fragrance with floral notes. Been looking for a while for a nice floral fragrance for men. This is the one. Also on my list. 9/10 French Riviera: Quite like it on a paper strip (spicy tangerine with aquatic notes), but smells horrendous on my skin (probably the sea salt). 3/10 Kumkat wood: I get the appeal, a nice citrus scent with creamy notes. However, the performance is very fleeting on me (given that I thought it would easily surpass the 6 hours). 7/10 Vetiver Sensuel: I feel like this is done in a wrong way. Doesn't smell green enough, vetiver is not a star here. Smells a bit too perfumey to me for what I want out of such a fragrance. 5/10
I'm new to your channel and find your reviews not only entertaining but useful also.... you have given me food for thought and I'm looking forward to more stuff hitting my notifications bell.😊 All the best for new year my friend... Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne uk😊
I own many Mancera The Oud, Soleil D'italie, vetiver sensual and Gold prestigium are missing from your collection The Oud, for me is 10/10 Soleil D'italie 9.5/ 10 Vetiver sensual 9/ 10 Gold prestigium 7.5/10 Others i have used have been reviewed by you. That include Instant Crush 10/ 10 Cedrat Boise 7/ 10 Black Gold 6/ 10 Red Tobacco 6/ 10 Indian dream 5/ 10 Silver blue 5/ 10 Holidays 6/ 10 Wind wood ... Roses jasmine 5/ 10 Saharian wind 7/ 10
Aqua Wood is a simple fragrance that works very well for hot weather. I use it a lot in the Mexican summer. I have about 20 Manceras and surprisingly, compared to the more sophisticated ones this works very well.
Of all the mancera I tried I think red tobacco and black gold are the best! Oud lemon mint also not bad. I think I will buy red tobacco intense and for summer black gold P.s i think they mixed up my samples as well. The oud exclusive isn't supposed to smell like whisky right 😂 . I think it got mixed up with the precious oud
Aqua Wood is amazing. Smells like a better blended, airier version of ADG Profondo. I just bought a full bottle after running through my sample and cannot wait for warmer weather where it will really shine. Its addictive, clean, fresh and sexy.
please do a similar video for montale too! this was really helpful and I got aoud violet because of it but montale is also entry niche at a good price point so would be very useful.
great video man, super helpful. i picked up aoud violet after watching this and really enjoy it, great day to day scent that makes me feel like i'm shower fresh and clean all day, definite winner

KUMCAT WOOD smells like the lumber isle at HOME DEPOT....nothing more...nothing less🤔
Dope video. I have 16 full bottles of manceras and a decant of one. I've owned 23. I don't go for them as much as I did at the beginning of my niche journey. But still I love the house. There are 2 in the women's frags that I really enjoy as a man. Pearl and musky garden. I definitely suggest getting your nose on these.
Drop your top 5, I’m buying a sample set
heyy.. i really wanna have my first signature fragance, would you gift me the money to purchase a mancera? pleasee
I really need you to review the rest of the mancera house, please, and thank you. Really would appreciate it.
Hats off for powering through so many sweet fragrances.
I think I heard so much hype from Cedrat Boise that my expectations were monumental. I think it'd be a decent gift, but I'm in no rush to get a full bottle. We'll see how I feel if/when I get through the travel size sample.
I think I like the barbershop feel of Black Gold more for an easy, everyday scent.
Saharian Wind and Melody of the Sun are probably the 2 Manceras that I like most and will be my first full bottles once the sample and travel size are used up.
Saharian Wind just smells warm, and Melody of the sun is a simple, refreshing summer scent.
Aoud Violet sample is on the way.
Was hoping wave musk, French Riviera and wild fruits would be on here.
Good and quick review on Mancera line. I own full bottles of Cedrat boise and Aoud Violet. Both really good different style parfumes. I'm have to say your description on Aoud Violet is quite difficult for me to agree. It's kinda fresh in a flowery/woody way but not aquatic out of the shower. Interesting.
Im so confused, every site i go to says it is a womens fragrance, but every review says it's for men. Can you recommend it for men?
Love your honesty in these reviews. Had me laughing out loud at times. 😂. You’re one of the best fragrance reviewers out there. Great work Omar.
I really love this brand....Cedrat Boise intense is 100% the bomb.
Could you do a montale version of this same concept? With this video, I have a clear guide into mancera purchases. It's a cost effective way of getting perfumes. Thanks man
Very helpful in picking out my discovery choices. Between you and Ross over at TLTG, I've gotten a great introduction to the brand. He said similar things about Deep Forest, but it actually makes me want to pick it up. Pierre Montale seems to get a bit more experimental with Mancera as opposed to his namesake house.
Awesome video. I have Red Tobacco, Instant Crush, Cedrat Boise, Oud Exclusive. Red Tobacco is my favorite. Thanks for your time
I have 18 Mancera and I did not blind buy any of them. Too Risky! You’re top 5 Mancera is very interesting. Royal Vanilla is definitely Mancera best vanilla scent overall. Velvet vanilla is lovely on the Ladies😍
heyy.. i really wanna have my first signature fragance, would you gift me the money to purchase a mancera? pleasee
Thanks very much for your hard work with this. I'm going through my second men's discovery set. I'm having a tough time deciding about which full bottle(s) to buy. Instant crush, hindu kush and red tobacco are my favorites so far.
Your choices and descriptions seemed reliable and informed.
WE NEED A VID LIKE THIS FOR MONTALE
Just discovered your review on this Brand. Well done!
New sub.. OH! There are so many more fragrances on their site. Agreed, they should focus on doing more with less. Again, well done and ordering samples from a favorite site.
This was awesome, thanks a lot for the insight. Would love to see this done with montale as they have loads of fragrances that no one knows about haha
Thank you for doing this. Very informative. I am glad you kept notes as smelling them in succession like that can have an effect on your break down in that moment.
Mancera is my favourite house as they produce some pretty unique, but wearable scents for great prices. I own a bunch of them. My fav is probably cedrat boise, but mine doesn't last at all. I don't even like wearing it as I know I am gonna be disappointed lol. I own Holidays as a man and when I first smelt it I thought this is for women. I had a sample, but it smelt too good I had to get a bottle. It is the most complimented fragrance I own. Even when I give samples to people they tell me everyone compliments them too. If it is really hot I think a guy can wear it just because it smells so nice. It makes less sense wearing it any other time of the year, but summer time everyone has a sunscreen style smell about them, so it is ok lol
I agree with cedrat it doesnt like. to me it smell ok nothing too special about it
Red tobacco smells so freakishly good imo. Also projects like crazy. On another note,I have the og cedrat boise but your videos made me order the intense version of it. Cant wait to compaire the 2. Lastly, the aoud lemon mint smelled really nice on a friend of mine while on me i preffered the cedrat boise.
How was it?
@@farukozdal9504 It's woodier, sweeter and doesnt have that very prominent lemon note at the start compaired to the normal cedrat boise. It's very nice. I personally preffer the intense CB for evening or early night summer occassions as it is a thicker scent and the original CB for morning/more casual occasions because it is lighter and more appropriate for the high morning temperatures.
23:24 Omar got me laughing hard on that 😂
As always, great content! Keep up my friend
Thank you a lot for your effort. This is very helpful since i do not want to overstretch my budget but still have decent perfumes. THX!
Top Recommendation, having tried most of your top recommendations I can say my favourite by far is Oud Exclusive. Just incredible balance between all elements that’s comprise this perfume. One that I don’t get nose blind to most importantly since I like to wear nice fragrances for myself and like to continue to smell them as well as people around me. I picked up a 60ml bottle of Red Tobacco with some 8ml samples including Oud Exclusive and I wish I bought a full bottle of the Oud instead
One of the best reviews... period!
❤ Hindu Kush! 👍🏽👍🏽
Definitely not a blind buy but distinctly unique.
I think we need one those guides for montale too. Love the content , keep up the great work
Excellent video especially the reviews of little known hidden gem Mancera fragrances. Would love to see a similar video done for Montale.
Saw your comment on tiktok saying you’d do this video, thanks for putting this out! 😁
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Mancera Cedrat Bosie and red Tobacco and Hindu Kush and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Thanks for taking time to review all the mancera fragrances and making it easy for all of us, very honest review.
Many thanks
Take a bow 🙇♀️, what a great video , thank you for all the hard work, so informative on a great house 👍🏻
Thanks for this video, Omar! After seeing it I picked up a few samples from mancera:
Aoud Lemon mint: A very fun fragrance, heavy citrus opening as Omar described (I like it. Dry down is amazing, after 3 hours I get a sort of lemon cake kind of scent, which later turns into a nice musky scent. Very good performance as well. Will definitely pick up a bottle of this. 10/10
Aoud Violet: Love it, a nice (kind of blue) blue fragrance with floral notes. Been looking for a while for a nice floral fragrance for men. This is the one. Also on my list. 9/10
French Riviera: Quite like it on a paper strip (spicy tangerine with aquatic notes), but smells horrendous on my skin (probably the sea salt). 3/10
Kumkat wood: I get the appeal, a nice citrus scent with creamy notes. However, the performance is very fleeting on me (given that I thought it would easily surpass the 6 hours). 7/10
Vetiver Sensuel: I feel like this is done in a wrong way. Doesn't smell green enough, vetiver is not a star here. Smells a bit too perfumey to me for what I want out of such a fragrance. 5/10
Cedrat Boise, Red Tobacco, Instant Crush - these are the ones you should go first.
@@Rogeras32 not a fan of tobacco fragrances, tried cedrat boise and instant crush in a department store, they dont do the thing for me :)
Do you think lemon mint smells like sun screen? I’m considering buying it
@@calebbrown5518 it doesn't smell like sun screen to me
Love the details and the description box as well
Thank you. You add to the experience
Great video Omar, I must say I love Red Tobacco's opening!! It is a manly blast!!
I'm new to your channel and find your reviews not only entertaining but useful also.... you have given me food for thought and I'm looking forward to more stuff hitting my notifications bell.😊
All the best for new year my friend...
Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne uk😊
Yet again you preferred Aventus proving its more of a boxer dropper😂😂😂 while the women liked Cedrat Boisee
didn't he said its from man pov
Boxer Dropper😭😭 haven’t heard that before
I don't ever need boxers dropped. Gag.
Holy cow, extremely useful and informative vid. Thank you! Montale next please!
I really appreciate the effort you make in this video.
I have Cedrat Boise, Red Tobacco and my newest is Hindu Kush. Hindu Kush is really good!! Remind me of Interlude by Amouage.
Wow! Huge sampling task! Love your efforts, opinions and decisiveness! Thank you for sharing.
One of the best videos on fragrance tube
this man is a legend
Great video, please make more such videos for other fragrance houses.
Great vid. I like lot mancera, but Silver Blue is slept on. One my favorites.
Acqua di Parma, please. I love this format, it's really helpful.
I own many Mancera
The Oud, Soleil D'italie, vetiver sensual and Gold prestigium are missing from your collection
The Oud, for me is 10/10
Soleil D'italie 9.5/ 10
Vetiver sensual 9/ 10
Gold prestigium 7.5/10
Others i have used have been reviewed by you. That include
Instant Crush 10/ 10
Cedrat Boise 7/ 10
Black Gold 6/ 10
Red Tobacco 6/ 10
Indian dream 5/ 10
Silver blue 5/ 10
Holidays 6/ 10
Wind wood ...
Roses jasmine 5/ 10
Saharian wind 7/ 10
Perfect guide!!!! I wish to watch the same for Montale 🙏
Agreed
Aqua Wood is a simple fragrance that works very well for hot weather. I use it a lot in the Mexican summer. I have about 20 Manceras and surprisingly, compared to the more sophisticated ones this works very well.
A cuántos grados centígrados le llamas verano?
@@arturobanuelos9189 entre 25 y 30 grados
Agree. Aqua wood - it's fresh fragrance for hot spring/summer. +1
Yeah it's like a simplier french riveria. I own it and dig it and have gotten compliments from woman with it.
Thanks for the hard work...wow that's a lot of sampling
thanks. that‘s high effort right there!
The Mancera house is a beast. Best Bang for your buck. Performance is no issue which is a big plus And price
Awesome video Omar. Ordered 3 samples from you recomendations (wish you could get a cut. ) Excited to get your fragrance in November.
Of all the mancera I tried I think red tobacco and black gold are the best! Oud lemon mint also not bad. I think I will buy red tobacco intense and for summer black gold
P.s i think they mixed up my samples as well. The oud exclusive isn't supposed to smell like whisky right 😂 . I think it got mixed up with the precious oud
Thanks, Great Review, Subscribed !
I Never Tried This Brand But I Will Get Samples Of Most Of These.
Great review, thank you so much, I enjoyed it a lot
Amazing work that you did here! CONGRATS!
Video starts at 3:15 You’re welcome 😊 These fragrances reviews are getting such long intro nowadays :/
bow tie fragrance intro is like 1hr long
Aqua Wood is amazing. Smells like a better blended, airier version of ADG Profondo. I just bought a full bottle after running through my sample and cannot wait for warmer weather where it will really shine. Its addictive, clean, fresh and sexy.
please do a similar video for montale too! this was really helpful and I got aoud violet because of it but montale is also entry niche at a good price point so would be very useful.
Jasmin exclusif is absolutely fantastic to me.
