Afkaar

Just got my bottle today and this smells really great! My usual routine once I receive them is to spray them around 4-5 times on my skin and clothes just to get a feel of what they smell like and to also introduce oxygen in the bottle to start the masturbation process, then I rest it for 1-2 days before spraying again just to see if the performance would improve a bit. For Afkaar, though, I sprayed mine at around 2pm and I could still get whiffs of it by 11pm, which is just amazing, especially since I bought this for around $12. I haven't tried smelling the real Instant Crush, but I have tried Super Crush and the difference between them is night and day. Just better performance overall. I guess I'm going to have to go with other users, especially that one guy on YT who has worn IC daily for years and he claims that so far, Afkaar has been the one that's been closest to smelling like the real IC so make of that what you will. At the end of the day though, this perfume can stand on its own even if you don't compare it with Instant Crush, especially with how cheap it is for some reason compared to other Lattafa fragrances.

This is a hidden gem, and I hope they won’t hype this up too much so the price stays dirt cheap for a full bottle and with this quality too. I haven’t smelled the Instant Crush by Mancera to compare, but I own a roller ball of Instant Crush inspired perfume oil made from one of the perfume houses in Dubai. The oil is very spicy and warm in the beginning then settles into this delicious ginger scent on my skin. Afkaar however, has that lingering spice in the background but the sweetness comes out immediately on my skin and to my nose that’s what I am getting. The oil and Afkaar smells exactly the same on the dry down. I assume if the oil from Dubai smells like Afkaar then I suppose they got the Instant Crush by Mancera’s DNA right. Both of them layers beautifully on my skin. Perfect match! I will let this sit for a few months to let it mature and hopefully get its full potential in terms of projection and longevity. @SmellSniffer38 - I think you meant “MACERATION” damn, autocorrect!🤣

This is a dupe of a dupe. Of course we know Instant Crush is a dupe for Baccarat. But this ends up outshining Instant Crush because it's cleaner ,pure and prettier. On first spray, you immediately get the saffron.But the aromatic ginger pierces through With a purifying burst of bergamot and Mandarin lingering all over the notes. It's rounded out with sweet vanilla and sandalwood to keep it grounded, and I honestly can't get enough of this!! I'm on my third bottle of it!! The fact that it's just now making it to fragrancica is crazy. It's a beautiful offering that I will always have in my collection. I've gotten tired of baccarat I never touch Instant Crush .But this I always go back to.

I haven't smelled Mancera's Instant crush for sure, but I like the sweet Ginger in this and last not the least the lasting is again will beat any designer fragrance.

It's launched on 2021. Moderate performance. 5-6 hours on skin & moderate projection.

@SmellSniffer38 me too bro , me too
