Juicy Flowers

I love Montale but Mancera is always hit or miss for me. Got a sample. Initial application was an attention-getting blast of a fruity rose/floral blend. Some hours later, it switches up on me and I love it. The white musk and ambergris become a lovely animalic funk that's subtle but still very noticeable. The sandalwood/vanilla perfects it & keeps the funk from getting out of hand AND doesn't read as too powdery. The sillage and longevity were divine...10+ hours. Depending on the # of spritzes, this can be rocked all year long, day or night. Versatility is always a great thing.

A feminine Instant Crush is perhaps the best way to describe this scent. It's synthetic fruit in an Amber Oud Gold/Erba Pura way, very rose forward as well. Overall it is sweet with the red fruit and raspberry, it also has a lot of depth and warmth from the pear, musk, and sandalwood notes. Very strong projection and lasting power...scent is also linear to me, like Instant Crush is.

Pleasant, feminine-leaning, conventional floral fragrance... although there isn't anything that makes it distinctly 'juicy flowers' for the matter. Let someone with a blindfold smell this, he will not say it smells like a bouquet of juicy flowers, he will say it smells like a perfume at the department store. It performs reasonably well for what it is, like most Montales/Manceras.

I love how dirty it smells. I'm not a fan of typical fruity or floral fragrances but this isn't one of them. It has a rich, deep musky feel to it and it makes it special for me. Its almost obnoxious, in a good way. I would say its definitely offensive. Its sour and musky like ripe fruits and old floors. Similar to Kirke

When I first discovered Mancera I got velvet vanilla, and hated it. but got a few samples and when I sprayed juicy flowers I couldnt stop sniffing my arm. ordered it right away. 5 years later it's still my signature scent. STAYS ON YOUR SKIN ALL DAY and people are going to ask you what you have on.
