Rating My Montale and Mancera | Top 10 | Glam Finds | Fragrance Reviews | Subscriber's Choice |

[@jmorbeauty]

I wear Red Tobacco in the heat and get many compliments. Heavy hitters flourish nicely on me in the heat. I'm always confused when people say certain fragrances can't be worn in the heat, what do people think islanders do? I'm from the Caribbean and we wear whatever whenever. I'm trying to build my Montale and Mancera collection I will try some of these.

[@almatoledo1608]

Same.comment from Middle East, it is always warm and people wear potent and deep parfum and oils.

[@KiangiAri]

I also put on Red Tobacco in the summer heat of Africa...no problemd at all

[@carasparks8500]

Thank you!!!! Feel the same!!! These seasonal fragrances talk is so silly to me

[@ridleychris91]

Great video. My scent of the the was Aoud Lemon Mint. I had several compliments when I hit the mall after getting my haircut. My favorite Montale is either Honey Aoud, Intense Café or Oud Tobacco. My favorite Mancera is either Red Tobacco or Hindu Kush. I have Sicily and Pearl from Mancera and think they both a way too feminine for me!!

[@aromafromheaven]

Very nice one,you made me order montale oud tobacco last night I'm sure it will be great,,I will definitely be reviewing it

[@jhors7777]

Thanks Sarah:) I blind bought Red Tobacco on your recommendation and love it.

[@GlamFinds]

Yay!

[@chipmcgee4393]

Great list. I love Cedrat Boise. Have a back up bottle. Red Tobbaco is a beast. Aoud Lemon Mint is great also. Need to get Soliel D'Italia for the summer. Thanks for the content. Be safe.

[@GlamFinds]

Thank you!

[@elpadrino9056]

Good afternoon Miss, I enjoy your videos very much. Would you consider doing a fall/winter mancera list ??? I usually buy frags a few seasons ahead, hehehehe. Either way, thank you for your posts.

[@natalia-gc3rg]

My top 1. Aoud vanille and instant crush 2. Jardin exlusif/purple flowers 3. Soleil de italie and Wild cherry

[@PB78341]

Love Mancera Wild Leather and Wild Python. Montale Chocolate Greedy and Montale Black Oud.

[@GlamFinds]

I've never tried any from the Wild line but that Wild Cherry has been in and out of my cart multiple times...

[@almatoledo1608]

Velvet Vanilla is a vanilla with a twist. I am enjoying my decant. I own Roses Greedy from Mancera. Very féminine and just as the name proposes, it is like an elegant bouquet of all the roses tightly packed in each drop.

[@tammiearrata3679]

ugh...now i gotta go find these!!!! of course another great review!

[@Joeycrakkthedawn]

You should definitely try Vetiver Sensuel. It is so good and clean. Reminds me of a spa. Weird I know but it is so good

[@danashackleford5010]

I remember how you were kinda so-so about Juicy Flowers and now it's #2 lol. Nice vid, Sarah!

[@GlamFinds]

Noooo, rewatch, I loved Juicy Flowers! I didn't like Instant Crush and I was so-so about... well almost all of the other ones 😆 the fruitiness in Juicy Flowers and how well it plays with the heat is what makes it easier to love than most Manceras.

[@coolumar335]

@@GlamFinds Still have Oudmazing and Oud Tobacco at the top of my list... :D

[@GlamFinds]

@@coolumar335 if you can find Lattafa Al Dur Al Maknoon Lulu Al Abyedh, it's 95% similar to Oudmazing and its around $25!

[@Jlankq123]

Yo Glam, you need to try Mancera’s Crazy for Oud. It’s fantastic. It’s like premium version on La Nuit De L’homme. I dont say that those are identical but those have that same vibe. Its like more wearable version of Rasasi’s Junoon Satin Pour Homme. Value for your money is amazing.

[@Teamshmo]

I ordered the discovery kit for men from Mancera. I like them all, but Instant Crush was one I really like. I didn't expect to like it or ever wanted a bottle, but I might get a full bottle after trying it. It lasted so long and i could smell it in the air around me, and it was great. Smells just like BR 540 to me, but with a twist. Mancera has many fragrances that smell like popular fragrances, but with a twist to make them interesting instead of a clone, which I like. Cedrat Boise I like as well, but it is a touch too close to Aventus and I have so many other fragrances that are similar. If I didn't own the others I would like it a lot, however. Hindu Kush is another fragrance that smell so interesting. Another one I didn't expect to like, but it is nice. My favourite is still Holidays. That one is my favourite high heat summer scent.

[@GlamFinds]

I need holidays!

I have a hard time seeing the juice level on my Sauvage Parfum. Try shining a light from the opposite side of the bottle with the beam aimed at you. You might be able to see the juice level. Hope this helps. Nice video. Looking to get my sister a nice banger for her birthday in October

[@traybrook]

As soon as you mentioned to layer Instant Crush with a leather fragrance, I wondered if it would be good with La yuqawam. A few seconds later you mentioned La Yuqawam. Lol. Hmmmmm??? Very intriguing tho. I tooooooootal agree with that Instant Crush smells nothing like BR540. NOTHING! It is my most complimented fragrance in my collection…and my favorite scent. On a side note, I did layer it with Nishane Hacivat. THE COMPLIMENTS WERE OFF THE CHAIN!!! Please try that combination!!! Additionally, Cedrat is cool, but overhyped. It does smell good tho. I want to try Aoud Tobacco. Does it smell like Side Effect or Herod? Just curious… Holla.

[@GlamFinds]

I'll try it! Oud Tobacco has a scent that isn't that familiar to me. I think the orange blossom makes it a completely different scent, more beautiful.

[@danashackleford5010]

Came back to watch this again. ..would love to see a review on Arabian tonka/holidays/and ristretto intense cafe. Hopefully u can review them. Thx!! I think u would love Arabian tonka. I'm dying to try it

[@jeejon9107]

One reason I subscribed to your channel is thatI see lot of similarities in our taste. I have 10+ full bottles of Mancera and few Montales. Never bought FB of black gold as from the sample itself I had the same thought - it is floral and old school. Instant rush I also feel has been over hyped. Check out Montale Aoud Night - performance is out of this world and smells really nice. Projects even next day on fabrics. Also Mancera Black Vanilla is amazing in smell and performance

[@2AbleFly]

I agree with the black vanilla statement, it’s soo good & strong but no one talks about it lol

[@darklawdshadow5679]

You just gave me the idea to layer BR540 and Botega Veneta! Why not try it.. I haven’t tried Instant Crush yet.

Hey Sarah, I just got red tobacco instead of aoud lemon mint and I like it. I also have a question. 1. Between hindu kush and aoud lemon mint, cedrat boise, which gets more ladies attention in your experience from least to most. I know you haven't reviewed that one, but I'm pretty sure you've tried it or own it.

[@Killakamikaze]

Great choices I gotta check the Montale line and maybe velvet vanilla. I got a lot of Mancera’s thanks to you and scentfrugal force My faves/compliment getters from the Mancera line are Cedrat Boise, Sicily, Aoud Vanille, instant crush, and wild cherry. I use to own Mancera’s Amber Fever but it smells soooo similar to instant crush and it’s redundant to get it again because it smells 99% to my new purchase al haramain Amber oud rouge except Amber Fever has the whiskey and a chestnut note Red tobacco on the dry down is close to Dunhill desire red it’s uncanny! I sold Hindu Kush because when I wear it smells like banana Laffy Taffy that has been melted and poured into a shampoo bottle like Garnier Fructis the cannabis is very faint at opening and goes away in minutes don’t let the name fool you guys.

@carasparks8500 so... I live in Cali but I'm from Florida. There are truly things you DO NOT wear in the summer there. The humidity is wayyy too intense that it'll make it feel like a bad experience.
