Mancera is really entry level niche to me they are unique enough from your typical designer and are affordable from discounters my fav is precious oud

I really enjoy dark vanilla by montale very good smokey vanilla great performance as you would expect. I like aoud cafe by mancera so im sure id love this one.. i like montale and mancera yes i know they entry level niche but for price to performance and overall pleasing scents and how huge they catalog is you have to respect they dedication yes lots are redundant and repetitive but the more you own the more you wear you pick up the differences and realize what isnt broke don't fix it and thats just what they stick with im not mad at them. They do have lots of scents that are more artistic that don't get as much love they getting better. I wish they would make some fougeres like i love fougeres make a some classic barbershops smells some modern take some with oud some with amber some with patchouli some with florals and lots of lavender and mimosa flowers like damn i wish we were perfumers because perfumy is quite boring these days nothing bold and mysterious and groundbreaking to spend my money on in a long time.. i got ideas on great fragrances but i don't want people stealing my ideas lol.. Ive been thinking of buying some materials and oils and just blending my own shit cause i know what i like but nobody makes it 🤷 💯..

I'd say go for it. We only live once. You never know what could happen when you start making your own.

Montale's "fougeres marine" is probably as close as you're gonna get. Personally, it's my favorite montale. A little rough around the edges blend-wise but I find the scent profile fantastic. It gets compared to tommy by Tommy hilfiger, and in the opening I can see it but it goes in its own direction. Heavy on the lavender and patchouli with a slight aquatic nuance. Very green. Simple but I would 100% recommend a sample. It's become my most-worn fragrance over the last year and a half.

I love the opening of this one, then I found you get mysterious enigmatic whiffs of this for the rest of the day of caramel, coffee & vanilla ice cream , while often not detecting it at all. I sold out of this very quickly & got a lot of positive feedback. One of their best releases, according to my customers & I think I agree.

Never easy to blend a good coffee accord properly so that you can smell it, but it doesn't give the impression that you spilled some on yourself. I like how they did it in this one. But you really gotta be in the mood for something like this. Light-handedness with gourmands is a skill in and of itself.

I completely agree. Especially with the easy trigger. The first time I wore this I put a half spray on my shirt before bed & woke up to an amazing scent. The second time I put 5 sprays on laying around the house & it was just obnoxious/ cloying.
