Mancera Fragrances! Compliment Test ft. Chelsea Corp

[@polly2018]

Mancera is ment to be potent, it's for those who like strength in fragrance so if that isn't your thing they all will be a 7. I wear Cedrat Boise, Aoud Lemon Mint, Black Prestigium... they are gorgeous!!!

[@larsli8649]

I love all my Mancera and I believe to what you said.

[@MrLdsmith]

Agreed

[@faheem1992]

I feel that all Mancera should be rated based on their dry down and the opening on most of them are way too strong and funky to enjoy it

[@SoCalScents]

Skip to the drydown section then :)

I will say this tho, I love the fact that they do videos getting the ladies reactions instead of the same ol top 10 this & top 10 that every other week like some of these other reviewers...great job on that fellas

[@jimmymcwatters4182]

I own Cedrat Boise and I really enjoy it and have received compliments wearing it. You have to let it settle though but after 15 min, it's a gorgeous scent and leaves a beautiful scent trail. I also agree that the scent is nothing like Creed Aventus, not even close. Cedrat Boise is a beauty of its own. Shout out from Costa Rica 🤙🏽

[@joeyc8622]

FFS you guys are like sheep. Cedrat Bois opens exactly like Creed Aventus...

This is my new favorite brand, started with Cedrat Boise and after three more arrive I'll have like seven different colognes from them. I love how beast mode they are in that I can apply them before bed and get whiffs of them the next day at work. Love them.

[@neptunevibe]

yeah let's say your taste in perfumes sucks a little bit. is like listening loud music on some buzzing speakers but large instead of listening to some hi fi headphones. Peasant.

[@Jtdubbzz]

I’ve been reaching for Lemon Mint quite a bit lately... super easy to wear. I also just got Hindu Kush, pretty cool frag. Chelsea is such a doll... total sweet heart. I always enjoy her as a guest.

[@SoCalScents]

Need to test out Hindu Kush!

[@Yourcreeepyuncle]

Cedrat means like citrus or citron, boise means wood so it'd be like citrus woods

[@ogichhh]

Mancera is one of the most recognisable perfume brands. Not everyone is wearing them but the thing about them is that they are different. They are strong and maybe too strong with the opening. But the drydowns are amazing. Could easily become a signature scent for somebody who has a nose for those things. Before buying my first mancera I loved fragrances like Eros, Sauvage and YsL Y which are completely different from Mancera Aoud line. But after buying a bottle of this I bought 2 more and the longevity and the silage of it are out of this world. Recently I bought Cedrat Boise but the drydown and the longevity were not for me. Great videos and thumbs up for both of you and mancera.

[@XanhDT89]

Any other brand that are strong that you recommend?

[@judahnavidad8250]

I’m surprised she got leather out of Cedrat Boise from the tester strip. I get no leather at all on my skin, it’s heavy on the fruits and cedar. Mancera is an awesome house though, great video ✊🏼

[@slikjmuzik]

Nobody talks about Silver Blue for some reason. I dig that one. Nobody wears it and while many say it's 'not a blue fragrance', it's fresh enough, imo, to wear all the time, if you know how it behaves/performs on your skin and know how to dial in your sprays.

[@martijnhoek3789]

Silver Blue is an absolute masterpiece!!

[@slikjmuzik]

@@martijnhoek3789 I think I agree. I can see how it can be too much for some people, but I personally like strong fragrances. I just went through a sample, but I have a bottle on the way. Love the Mancera atomizers and magnetic caps.

[@kinglanky2424]

@@slikjmuzik What does Silver Blue smell like to you? I’ll be ordering a mancera Travel kit to sample the house. Does it smell at all like 1 Million Lucky? I see people making that comparison on Fragrantica, and I love lucky lol.

[@slikjmuzik]

@@kinglanky2424 I personally don't feel it does, but I guess I can see the comparison. To me I get the notes that make it fresh and I get the caramel, but it doesn't necessarily smell gourmand. It's a 'heavier' fresh scent, but not a heavy fragrance. Hard to describe. Unique and to me, well worth the purchase. I ended up getting the screw on top with non pressurized atomizer in the mail, and I don't care those, personally, but they get the job done just fine. The new magnetic caps and pressurized atomizers are where it's at, IMO.

[@kinglanky2424]

@@slikjmuzik I’m happy to hear it has a fresh element to it. You also answered my followup question of magnetic cap, because every review I’ve seen is a screw on. I noticed they only make magnetic cap/pressurized atomizers for their newer scents and their best sellers.

[@khoile1739]

My favorite one from the line is definitely Instant Crush. Either that one or Amber Fever which is kinda similar to Instant Crush but toned down and has a boozier vibe to it

[@SoCalScents]

Will need to try that one!

[@adamberry7240]

I have a few Manceras, I've found that they are much better on skin and smell better in the air than up close. I enjoy the house and my favourite would be between Instant Crush and Black Gold.

[@SoCalScents]

Love instant crush!

[@dallasfollick2911]

I have Holidays, Aoud Lenon Mint, Instant Crush and Cedrat and I agree they seem to be more about the Sillage than to dig your nose into! ALM and Instant are sillage beasts!

Manceras have to dry down thats the REAL MAGIC,the openings can be overpowering ( Red Tobacco😭)tho but Cedrat Boise is outstanding ,in the summer and Aoud Lemon Mint has garnered me so many compliments in the Spring..a different green lemony( no mint tho) almondy incense monster..

[@SoCalScents]

Drydown is in the video :)

[@rippedup4546]

Not to be all nitpickie, but you two spray way too close to the tester strip and that's why it's smells so strong on the strip. Especially with a strong house like Mancera.

[@SoCalScents]

Skip to when the drydowns happen, that way you just see their settle.

[@CaliReviews]

blue notes is a challenging scent for me , i think Manceras are pretty strong & smell better wen you smell some one passing by projecting then smelling right up to youre nose because of the strength

I don’t think it works in the warmer months. But any other time it works great

[@Jason_bluebla_blaha]

Between red tobacco and aoud lemon mint which one gets more compliments from women and men

[@SoCalScents]

Probably Aud lemon Mint between the two of these, though we aren’t high on either of these if you are looking for mass compliment factor from your fragrance.

[@bearclaws2934]

What I got from this was some natural and strong smelling aromas, thats not what an appealing fragrance makes, you have to add other stuff to round it out and make it likeable. Mancera is one of more affordable niches but dont think Ill be getting any of this anytime soon.

[@TerrainJeremy3945]

I love Chelsea. Hi Chelsea! Good review.

[@aedrake1977]

Some heavy hitters by mancera. Might be challenging to smell so many at once. RT on paper would kill my sniffer. All of these are better in the air anyway. Cedrat Boise would be a winner with RT, IC and ALM close behind. Still great video guys 👍

[@SoCalScents]

Thanks Aaron!

[@BBrown-km5mi]

@@SoCalScents hate to be a harsh critic but u guys totally need to get better at ur reviewing skills. For starters, know about the fragrance house in terms of what they're known for if ur going to review their fragrances, Mancera & Montale fragrances are known for their potency, so there was no need to spray those tester strips more than once, perhaps that's why u guys kept stinging her nose with the amount of sprays & getting such low scores on these fragrances, then learn the pronunciation of a fragrance, it's KumkatWood not Kumquat Wood, there isn't even a Kumquat note in the fragrance, next, learn the order in which u sprayed so fragrances like Aoud Lemon Mint won't get lost in the shuffle when getting ur guests to smell the dry down of ur list of fragrances, because u guys totally skipped over the dry down of Aoud Lemon Mint...what's worse is that there's 2 of u, u have to do better guys

Prada Black. We will eventually. We’ve did a PDM mini video a few months ago and have featured Layton before. But we don’t like doing pure niche videos all the time because they aren’t watched. That will be the next one we do though

[@40KoopasWereHere]

I am ALWAYS late to the comment party. Wearing Aoud Lemon Mint now, and at first I didn't really dig it. Now that I'm giving it a chance, it's really impressed me - and hooo my gosh does this stuff last. Anyone who says that Mancera has become weak due to reformulation should probably consider that perhaps that was on purpose because if it was stronger than this... then that would just be too much. It's still going strong on me after 12 hours.

[@markmartin5629]

I love Mancera fragrances my top 3 are Cedrat Boise intense, Tonka Cola and Aoud Lemon Mint 👌🏼
