Attention: 1. For women and all ages, if a young and even slightly attractive man wears it, it is like kryptonite to their resistance.
2. It boosts your confidence to the max with 10 sprays on the right spots. It is a fragrance that is much more charming when applied to well-moisturized skin than on clothes.
3. Its bottle and cap are of top quality, as is its overall packaging, which ensures you can carry it safely.
4. Its projection and longevity are that of a classic Eau de Parfum. On the hottest days, it is unbeatable. In winter, it is okay. After all, fresh & sweet scents are all season.
5. Undoubtedly, the house of Mancera has the best atomizer available. The sprayer is sturdy, with good resistance, sprays at the right distance, you control how much you want to spray because it is powerful, and if you press it all the way down, it sprays more than enough, distributing the fragrance properly on you.

I don't think there is a better fragrance for more casual occasions, not so much for work, as it is very charming.

I like it, I find it pleasant, I find it balanced, but I don't know how it can be such a rule that women go crazy for it and men, at best, usually say "okay, it's good." Probably because they don't wear it properly, on well-moisturized skin. There are other fragrances with such characteristics, but I understand why this happens because others are more extreme in sweetness and projection. Anyway, for me, it's one of the few fragrances that is so balanced that you can say you can wear it well in all seasons, occasions, night or day, and be a pleasant presence for everyone with it. Dylan Blue, Cedrat Boisé, Terre d'Hermés, and Eros are so complete

This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful scent I’ve ever experienced. Its uniqueness is unmatched—a truly unforgettable aroma that stands out in a sea of sameness. It’s elegant, emotional, and effortlessly distinctive. A fragrance that leaves a lasting impression… at least in memory.

But once again, the biggest issue is performance. The projection is weak, and the longevity is disappointing—especially for a scent of this caliber. It’s heartbreaking when something so perfect fades so quickly.

If you’re lucky enough to find the older version without the magnetic cap, hold onto it. That batch had noticeably better performance and sillage. It’s a reminder of what this fragrance could be if it lived up to its full potential.

Pros:
️ Unbeatable scent
️ Unique and memorable
️ Emotionally captivating

Cons:
Poor projection
Short-lived on skin
Reformulated versions lack the original magic

Final Thoughts:
A masterpiece in scent, but a missed opportunity in performance. A fragrance this special deserves to last.

Hello from me too, fraghead for the past two years and after trying about 40 fragrances, I think I found the ideal signature scent, a truly iconic fragrance. Amazing scent, niche quality, evident from the radiance it leaves when you spray it on your body. Now, as for how it smells, don't fall into the trap of the "Aventus Clone," this one doesn't smell like Aventus at all, and those who claim it's a clone have never smelled Aventus and are just parroting what they hear and see on Fragrantica and YouTube, respectively. So, let's get to it, it's an amazing fragrance, although the marketing presents it as unisex, it's very masculine due to the woods and leather, while also having a hint of vanilla that makes it "playful." In the opening, it may seem synthetic to some, a suffocating lemoniness, just as I initially felt, but after spraying it a few times and letting it "settle" in the bottle without the cap (a trick I saw on Basenotes and it really works), it stabilizes into the wonderful scent that everyone loves. The citrusy opening is still there, but now it's more "clean" and doesn't last long before it nicely settles into a sweeter, fresh, and woody scent.

Personally, I really appreciate the notes of cedar and leather, especially in the drydown, and I have fallen in love with it. Amazing fragrance, it will definitely bring compliments. One positive aspect is that not many people know about it and therefore not many wear it, so you will stand out from the crowd when you wear it. Now, as for longevity and projection, I have a 2020 batch and I haven't had any issues with the duration and projection, but I have never had such problems as I buy fragrances to wear them, not to pity them. If someone expects a fragrance to last 15 hours and project with just 1-2 sprays, they are mistaken. 1-2 sprays are not enough, just like 8-10 sprays are not enough. I know many will hate me for saying this, but it's the truth. If you want someone on the street, in a café, at your drink, in your company, etc., to smell you, you will have to spray yourself several times. There's no such thing as "very short duration," on the contrary, there's the term "Sissyspraying." Take a look at CurlyFragrance on YouTube and you'll understand what the term means. I used to spray 1-2 sprays on my neck and no one could smell me, now I spray over 10 when I'm going out, and if I want to be smelled, I'll go for 15+. If I'm paying 120 euros for a cologne, you can be sure that you will smell me, whether you like it or not, even if the cologne doesn't last, I will make it last just fine with overspraying until I faint.

Edit: 29/09/2021 - So, I'm making this edit because I'm tired of hearing about "Aventus-ish colognes & clones." I got a sample from a 2017 batch from a friend who owns Aventus, and today I decided to do a little test again to see if my nose had a problem before because it's not possible for everyone to see Cedrat Boise as a clone and me not. I sprayed 2 sprays of Cedrat Boise on my right hand and 2 sprays of Aventus on my left. Opening, absolutely no resemblance again, Boise starts very lemony with a hint of grapefruit and a trace of cedar, while Aventus smells overwhelmingly like pineapple and a bit woody, absolutely no similarity in the opening. After two hours, Cedrat Boise smells like a beautiful blend of cedar, fruits, and a hint of vanilla, while Aventus smells fresh, masculine, and slightly woody. 8 hours later, which means right now as I'm writing, Aventus has completely disappeared from my hand while, on the contrary, Cedrat Boise still smells like a wonderful blend of vanilla, cedar, and leather, masculine and very pleasant. So, to avoid falling into traps set by random people who label all fragrances as clones, buy samples and test them on your own. Cedrat Boise > Aventus all day, every day, no comparison between them except for the fact that both have fruity vibes. I had someone at work who called Guerlain's L'Homme Ideal EDP a clone of Joop! so you expect everything in this community.
