  • In this video we take a look at the house of Mancera and their fragrance Instant Crush. This is a 2019 Release from the house that initially was not the easiest fragrance to find in the US. I was lucky enough to obtain a bottle early in 2019 and another bottle just about 1 month ago at the time of this recording. Many people compare this fragrance to MFK Baccarat Rouge 540, Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village and other sweet fragrances. I hope you really enjoy this review.
    Have you tried Instant Crush?
    If not - Do you plan on trying Instant Crush?
    Is there a fragrance from Mancera you recommend me getting my nose on?

    You already know, I LOVE this one. I only have 3 Manceras and this is my favorite so far, and also one of my favorite frags overall. Was my scent of the day yesterday and got quite a few compliments which was pretty cool. I was a little nervous because I could smell that floral/rose note the first time I sprayed it but it is really light and fades pretty quickly. I like br540 and do get the comparison but I actually like this alot more. Has more punch to it. Im even more happy that I only had to pay $10 for mine. Koushik waffle win!!

      The site is limited with shipping based on flat rates etc. I cab definitely work with you if you like to ship to Australia. I sent a couple 17ml’s to Aussie Frags it was like $18 shipped and took like1-1.5 mos. If you are on FB send me a DM and if not send an email to the info email listed on the site. Have a great day.

      So true!! Fill out the contact form online and put in the question/message area your question regarding shipping. Please include your shipping address and if you know what you are looking to purchase. That will give me a chance to get pricing. Thanks

    How about instant crush?! I heard it’s quite similar to these 2 as well. I wanna buy 2 between MFK Baccarat Rouge 540, MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 EXT, Initio Oud for Greatness and Mancera Instant Crush. Longevity is quite important for me and I heard that MFK BR 540 EXT last way less than the original. Which 2 of them would you recommend?

    • @Mikdj00
      @Mikdj00  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m a huge fan of Br540 EDP - and for the pricing I’d go with that one over the Extrait. ( based on the $ alone). As for the others Oud for greatness and Instant Crush are both great!!! I have all 4 of these and for longevity Br540 EDP I would say lasts the longest for me. (Have worn it the most too). Instant Crush can be found at some great pricing on Frag comm so that may be my 2nd pick unless price is no object then Br540 EDP and Oud for Greatness

      Makin’ Scents Thank you do much for your answer. It’s heartwarming to see you giving that much of attention to your subscribers. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for few months already (Since the the beginning if I’ll not wrong) but that my first message. Keep the good work. I’m sure I’ll see this channel flying high very soon :)

      Thank you for you very kind words and support. I really do appreciate it and actually enjoy communicating with everyone. When I say in the video leave a comment because I aim to respond to every comment I really do mean it loll. If you are active in the Facebook community definitely check out some orices there before ordering retail because you will save a lot of $. You could always grab decants or samples too to save $ up front to make sure you truly like the fragrance. Have an amazing day.

      Makin’ Scents I’m not active on facebook groups. Actually, I have no idea which groups are the best (or more reliable) ones. I’m accepting recommendations kkk
      I’m currently living in South Korea. Here, perfumery isn’t a thing. It’s pretty much impossible to find niche perfumes here. I have to import pretty much everything but I always go for discounters in America, France and England. That’s why I don’t think Facebook can be that advantageous for me. But anyways, thanks for the tips. I’ll make sure to at least check Facebook groups :)

    Can't find a site that samples this one. I'm interested in both this and BKR540 but I don't wanna blind buy.. Blind buying a clone of 540 is OK I guess but wanna know if I would enjoy this or 540 more, or maybe none of them lol..

      Are you in any of the Facebook groups? On there you can get many people that will have decants available and you can ask for references. It’s very easy and you will find fragrances at great prices.

    I am not really a rose fan... I can’t get any mancera fragrances in my city , I have to purchase them online, which means I have to blind buy them. It’s about $145 online right now.
    Every talks about cedrat bois. Do you like it?

    • @Mikdj00
      @Mikdj00  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love Cedrat Boise - to me it is a clean Aventus type fragrance without the ambroxen blast. I’m not a fan of rose at all when I can smell the actual note this one honestly I would recommend getting a decant or trial size just to see how it works for you.

I also had insane projection from Amouage Fate Man over 5hr of projection easily and it lasted all day and beyond. Thank you for watching

    Great job. Love Instant Crush also! I do own BR540 EDP and only have a 10ml of this but def consider getting a bottle just been waiting for the price drop lol. Another one I like not Mancera but sister house Montale is Sensual Instinct it has a bit of the BR540 vibe but its darker with coffee and praline. Worh a try for sure. Thanks a lot.
