Personal Top 10 Best Mancera 38:53
Omar's Ultimate Mancera Diary Notes - Couldn't put the notes for all of them due to character limit so I cut out my least favourite from the brand!
Cedrat Boise 03:14 Aventus ‘style’ Perfumery, with citrus, black currant and leather. Sharp, fruity, fresh, smoky & woody. More synthetic than Aventus but garners more compliments in my experience (especially from women)
Cedrat Boise Intense 04:16 The original with a smoother blend and a longer lasting handsome woodiness from utilising the brands ‘Oud’ accord
Aoud Lemon Mint 05:16 Harsh Lemon ‘hard candy’ opening that dries down better to a sharp woody citrus that lasts 14 hours, synthetic but easy to wear in summer
Instant Crush 06:00 Baccarat Rouge 540 ‘Style’ of loud aroma chemical sweet Perfumery, with more ‘density’ added with creamy florals, lots of vanilla. Leans slightly to the feminine side from unisex
Red Tobacco 06:48 Extreme brashness in the opening with spices and Tobacco. 24 hours longevity, the more relaxed warmth of the spices and vanilla Oud combo come out much later in the dry down and is perfect. A tricky scent to wear, packs a punch when utilised well (definitely a head turner)
Aoud Vanille 07:52 Simple woods and vanilla, linear and soft projection, underwhelming
Black gold 09:10 Rose woody lavender, clean, sweet and aquatic dry down, a ‘fresh out the shower’ scent that approaches things differently while still staying versatile!
Black vanilla 11:00 Very sweet gorgeous opening, unisex, coconut in the opening, floral, black Orchid vibes, dry down reminds me of aoud Vanille, more floral feminine on dry down
Coco Violet 11:41 Chocolate greedy but easier to wear, not as extreme in sweetness or gourmand aspects
Black line 14:02 Al Haramain Excellent niche-ified, vanilla, leather, fruit, Intense, sweet, Middle Eastern vibe, nicely done, unisex, Intense vanilla dry down
Amber fever 14:38 Similar to instant Crush, more Middle Eastern version
Aoud Exclusif 15:15 Gorgeous! Animalic opening. Sharp, spicy Oud, nice saffron note, signature material, beast performer, cold weather signature, some sweetness on dry down.
Melody of the sun 17:04 Natural, citrus, tea, nice musk, reminds me of ADP summer scents, Limited performance
Royal Vanilla 18:58 Opening is elegant! Nice Amber vanilla, smoothest out of all vanilla selection, nice Patchouli addition, sweetness with nuance
Saharian Wind 19:30 Strong Amber Scent, similar to Issey Miyake Noir Ambre, Middle Eastern incense & spices vibe
Sicily 20:34 Natural photorealistic mandarin with a nice supporting peach & pineapple, smells like a ADP release, ok performing summer freshie with a white floral & musk dry down, unisex slight feminine lean
Silver Blue 21:20 Nothing like the name, a sweet woody Amber fragrance, more toned down & simplistic Saharian Wind, sexy. Nice minimal caramel note in opening. Sort of like D&G The One EDP and JPG Scandal had a baby, but no spiciness here.
Hindu Kush 24:36 Great opening, terrible dry down, has a nice amber-y oriental incense opening, red tobacco, then the dry down becomes an awkward mix of ‘vegetal’ green with sweetness, annoyingly sharp and poorly blended imo.
Jardin Exclusif 25:16 Nice fruit cocktail, especially apple, mixed with jasmine, aquatic/ozonic nuances and clean musk, nicely done but can’t see a man wearing this.
Kumkat Wood 26:46 A grapefruit Chanel Edition Blanche? Better performance too! Great summer scent! Gets the perfect balance between smelling natural but still performing.
Aoud blue notes 29:40 Interesting signature concept for an overall ‘casual’ sweet signature, smells like one Million in the opening with ‘blue’ freshness added in, predominantly a tonka leather scent
Aoud cafe 30:24 Great Masculine choice for those who enjoy coffee! Smells like an espresso with sugar added in, great woody vanilla dry down
Precious Oud 32:30 Delicious scent! Mancera’s best gourmand? Booze and tiramisu scent with a Tonka woody base, Seductive, well balanced, unique. A replacement for discontinued CH men prive?
Sand Aoud 33:41 Really sexy spicy Oud scent. I understand the sand name, has a ‘dry earthy’ effect to this fragrance, really unique.
Holidays 34:49 Really sexy! For a woman. Gorgeous peach and coconut note in opening, ‘sun tan lotion’ effect with a white floral musk dry down, great performance especially for a summer scent.
Aoud Violet 35:49 Surprised me! Smells masculine and strange in a good way, a floral aquatic with a warm amber finish, smells more ‘blue’ than you would expect, has a ‘hazy’ effect to it from spices
Gold Aoud 38:11 Honeyed rose & Oud, likely coming from Bulgarian rose Otto, great quality to it, leans on feminine side, more bright, clean, woody on dry down
