Intense Cedrat Boise

This stuff is awesome, when you spray it blasts you with fresh spiced citruses and blackcurrant then it settles into a woody, leathery, animalic base. Mancera got a real icon on their hands here, nothing smells quite like it. The animalic qualities elevate this so much and adds so much character, I almost detect a soft smokiness aswell. This is like a if you know you know alternative to typical blue scents, it can be worn in similar situations but has much more life. It lasts forever and has good sillage, the presentation and bottle are very nice and signal a premium product. I got mine for $120 CAD at a discounter which is amazingly priced for what it is. I blind bought this after reading reviews and it was very succesful, I never smelled the OG Cedrat Boise but I like how this is much richer and darker. After buying designers for years it’s good to support a small maker, highly reccomend this.

I own this for three weeks, and im impressed. Very versatile, very manly, and complex too, but only for trained nose, after 1 hour leather as a middle note comes up, and its lovely done leather accord, as someone who love leather in perfumery this leather in spring/summer perfume is real hidden gem, i dont know maybe in this batch leather is very prominent. Performances are great to, strong projection and sillage in first 4 hours than noticable arm lenght projection and good silage, and yes, it needs to be matured, mine hasnt mature full yet, i think at least 6 months, so buy in december to have great performance perfume in spring/summer. Beautifull fragrance, i bought mine 100eur/120ml, and yes, ill repurchase, and yes, this and Aoud Lemon Mint makes perfect combo for the money.

A great all-rounder fragrance that's both sweet yet sophisticated. Personally I mainly get the fruity top notes and the vanilla, though it could also be nose blindness because this stuff is fairly strong, after the initial sprays it's hard to pick up the scent, but don't be fooled because it's absolutely there. I got this because I was looking for a high-quality alternative to creed aventus, and although this isn't really that close imo, for me it works as something easy to wear yet undeniably luxurious. A great signature scent that'll have you standing out from a lot of the samey smells of more popular designer frags, perfect for a guy who's both approachable but serious. Professionally casual, I'd call it.

I did an earlier review and for the most part, I stand by what I said. I will double down on the fact that this does not scratch that Aventus itch. In my earlier review, I said it doesn't smell like Aventus. The more time I spend with this scent, the more I realize it really smells NOTHING like Aventus. Yes, fruity and woody and citrusy but I wouldn't even say it shares a similar DNA. To me, Cedrat Boise and Intense Cedrat Boise are their own thing and DNA. Yes, if you like Aventus, you might like this. But this is not even close in DNA. Other than that, still one of my favorites from Mancera!

Intense Cedrat Boisé was my first niche fragrance and it remains my favorite. What can I say? This is almost perfect. It is a extremely complex scent that reveals more and more layers as the day goes on. It opens with a burst of citrus and tart black currant. After that the woodines sweet leather comes in. After a while the leather turns more animalic and the fragrance develops a musky quality. In the far dry down the oud note becomes more noticeable and a warm vanillic accord is mixed in. If you spray it on a fabric, the dry down also includes some dirty patchouli.
