Aoud Exclusif

I am always slightly put off by the opening of this fragrance, it's quite a prominent jammy/sweet rose note which for a man is maybe not something I would go for. It could maybe be ok for an older middle eastern man, so might seem a bit odd wearing it around Europe. However... after about an hour, this is one of the best fragrances money can buy. The rose note takes a dip and the spices come up. The far dry down is so so good; even though I know what it smells like, I'm blown away whenever I catch a waft. Spices, labdanum, oud with the right amount of sweetness. It really is a fragrance that has that wow effect. It's wonderful and unique in many ways because after that first hour it's quite a western style oud but still has that exotic aspect. You won't find many other people smelling like this. The performance is almost too much. You really need to be thoughtful with your selection of when to wear it. If you were going to be in a car with people, 1 spray can be too much. Outdoors, 2 sprays will suffice. It's the kind of fragrance that will catch people's attention and they will think 'oh he's a cologne' guy. It's a very intentional kind of smell, not a casual choice so to speak. This can be worn casually but it will draw attention so keep that in mind as that's not always a good thing. It's probably not office safe for that reason. It can be worn dressed up or dressed down, it's more the occassion that needs to be chosen correctly. To date I cannot say how long it is before this fragrance fades because it stays on all day, all night and it's still on when you wake up and then have a shower. The pillow covers then carry the smell for days, so watch out as that might annoy. Truly fantastic fragrance.

I recently discovered this in the Montale boutique in Paris. I was in there for about an hour and a half. This fragrance jumped out above the rest of the Mancera line and Montale too. I was specifically looking for an oud scent to take home with me. Id visited other niche fragrance stores and wasnt overly impressed with what I tested. On to this, I was hesitant to buy it on the spot knowing how long it takes to asses a fragrance, multiple wearings are often needed before purchase. But decided to go for the 60ml. So I held off wearing it until the night. In which I was in the Montemarte area of Paris. I put this on before going out and man is it gorgeous. Oud, rose, amber - a slight boozey vibe. 100% a winter fragrance, dinner, date, formal. It reminds me of a few fragrances, Rojas Amber Aoud, MFK Grand Soir and Penhaligons As Sawira. It has elements reminiscent to these fragrances but retains its own character. I prefer it over all those. Projection is quite potent for about 3 hours after application. Longevity is about a day (on clothes, hair) and you will continue to get whiffs over the couese of its duration. I gifted a free 8ml travel sample to a friend and they sprayed it on. I spent the night chatting and having a few drinks, everytime they moved past me I could smell it. Montales can be quite harsh and synthetic. Manceras can be similar. This smells high quality, there is a slight synthetic vibe but overall the impression is luxurious, classy, oriental and distinguished. Love it. 9/10

Edit: most everything I wrote below stands, however I’ve noticed on skin that the drydown kinda bothers me. It comes off spiky and not very smooth. Still enjoy the wear though. This one took me a few days to understand, but once it all clicked I fell in love. There is something so regal about Aoud Exclusif. At its heart it is an Oud/Rose, but the supporting notes of labdanum, spice, violet and leather elevate this to something special. It opens a bit boozy, with rose, spice and subtle sweetness. The sweetness is not vanilla/sugar like a lot of Manceras, but more like the ambery sweetness in cognac or bourbon. It’s dense, but not cloying, rich, but not overwhelming. The blend is perfect with all notes coming together to create a unified whole. If I were to try to describe the smell it’s an opulent oriental ambery floral woody with nondescript spicy notes. Like others have mentioned, the beautiful amber colored juice matches the smell perfectly. I don’t get any distinct cumin or pepper, so no worries about body odor smells. I get a hint of incense smoke in the heart and drydown. There is also a resinous depth to the Oud that is simply outstanding. Some Manceras / Montales can come off overtly screechy or synthetic, but I don’t get that vibe here. Performance is good. Not quite as beast mode as advertised, though maybe this has been reformulated. Aoud Exclusif is probably the best Mancera I’ve come across, maybe a masterpiece. I love it and highly recommend it if you like the style.

This one needed a loooooong time before I got used to it and started to appreciate it. Oud needed a long time. But I’m ready to use it on my skin. It’s skanky oud. Unisex, in my opinion a woman can wear this too, don’t know why people vote it is more masculine (the beginning sounds masculine but the drydown is so soft, and that’s when the magic happens!! it’s unisex for sure!), ladies just give it a try if you like Oud! You won’t smell like a hairy medaillon man. So in love with this one. My god! Oud and oriental notes are dominating. I don’t smell the rose in here at all. Just oud spices and oriental notes. Soft powdery oud. It smells just delicious, rich luxurious. Think this is one of the best mancera’s for sure Test it before you buy it. I needed 2 months to finally see the beauty of this one. Some Will never have the patience For me definitely a signature scent. Forever. I’m out 10/10 Upd; if you just bought a sample or blind bought a bottle, please wait a bit. If a bottle; wait a few weeks. It will get better. Like I said once before; Mancera ages like good wine. Give it a try and wait until the drydown. Don’t put your nose into it. It smells horrible and it has no use because nobody will smell you that way. The drydown is where the magic happens. That is what people around you will smell. Freaking mad about this scent. You can layer it with almost every scent. I do the aoud orchid and aoud Exclusif combo, amazing stuff.

Let me start off by saying this: this perfume is intense. It has an animalistic opening peppered with middle eastern spices and subtle hints of rose. To those who don't like strong bombastic fragrances, this will be your kryptonite. You will be noticed, and people will have an opinion of this perfume. Whether it's a good opinion or a bad one is up to their taste. In my experience, the majority of people who notice this perfume on me only have good things to say about it and frequently ask me what I'm wearing. Another time somebody recognized the perfume immediately while I was in a bar, smelling it from at least 5 meters away and gave me props for it. I've also had people criticize me for wearing it, saying that it's too strong and suffocating. This is one of those cases where the situation and context really will determine the success this perfume has in enhancing your smell. You can wear this all year long, day or night and get compliments, but it works best when its muted by the cold of fall and winter. It's great for going out, showing off, making your presence known, and should be worn by somebody with the confidence and energy to own its unapologetic strength and arab-prince like character. I personally love it, it's my signature scent, and I unleash it when I'm feeling outgoing and social.

The sweet saffron and spices with the leathery labdanum really hits nicely upon initial spraying. I knew within seconds I was going to enjoy it. It reminds me very much of the foundation of Jasmin exclusif without the jasmin. The leathery spicy notes smell similar. The dry down gets a bit more oud and middle eastern. As a fan of traditional authentic Oud Attar this really struck a chord with me. The smell combination in Aoud exclusif reminds me of the suk markets when I travel overseas to visit family. Sweet, sour and spicy notes in one. Many memories are brought upon by this perfume! I dont catch the violet, the rose is well blended with the spices. Its not a strikingly powerful rose smell but its there as part of the make up. The late dry down has a nice rose oud combo with some resinous warmth. The sillage is good and I gor great longevity out of it. I find it masculine and not very feminine. This is a cooler weather fragrance and evenings. If you like oud and middle eastern spices, youll love this one. *2 months of maceration really turned this into a very well blended spicy oud. The leathery note isnt as striking, the saffron is more prominent and its has a alot more spicy depth. Very rich and smooth. It has turned from liking it to loving it.

I love this scent, 6mths ago if someone told me that I'd enjoy this scent profile id have thought no way in hell you need psychiatric treatment for suggesting it but here we are and Aoud Exclusif is one of my favourite Autumn and Winter fragrances, it's right up there with Red Tobacco and SWY Intensely all of which are in the rotation and get regular use, the opening of this may be off putting to some but if you can get past that then the dry down is where this fragrance really comes into itself and it develops into a really pleasant scent that's rose and oud with a musky undertone that has a sophisticated refinement in the blending of this masterpiece you won't find in any designer fragrance. This is a beast you can expect to still catch a whiff of this after having a shower and the mornings application can still be easily detected in the mid afternoon, sillage is off the charts and people can detect this 6hrs after application as you walk past or the breeze changes. This fragrance makes a statement it says I've got style and class and plenty of both! It's a fragrance that exudes confidence and leans masculine, give this a try it's definitely one of the better niche fragrances on the market.

Aoud Exclusif is one of a trio of new releases from Mancera that are similarly named (the others are Jardin Exclusif and Vanille Exclusive) and have seemingly been very well-received. The Mancera/Montale empire contains a plethora of "aoud"-named fragrances so while I expect good performance from these, as from the brands in general, the expectation of being blown away by the latest release is not realistic. There are familiar oud partners in this: rose, patchouli, saffron, and pepper. However, what sticks out to me and is not explained by the notes is the vague sort of fruity sweetness that balance s what seem to be mostly be more savory- or spicy-leaning notes. I assume it’s the labdanum that does is. I'm quite impressed by Aoud Exclusif, though, mainly due to how balanced and pleasant of an oud creation it is. It performs well, like most Montale and Mancera offerings, and I’m reasonably impressed overall with how nice it is, and that the pricing is the same as usual at $180 for 120ml. I’d recommend that rose/oud fans or those who usually like Montale/Mancera stuff try this out. 8 out of 10

Ordered a 2mL sample from LuckyScent. Opening is a but too heavy in saffron for me, but loving the honey labdanum notes. After letting it settle and combine with my chemistry, the dry down is absolutely delicious! Extremely complex and well balanced. Patchouli gives a nice gourmand quality, and the violet really adds brightness. I’m not a fan of scents heavy in smokiness, Oud or rose, but am absolutely LOVING this fragrance. I have been looking for a new “signature scent” and this might well be “it”. It is a very intense fragrance with an incense vibe. Great sillage. Incredibly long lasting to the (eternal level) on my skin (+16hrs). I already own Mancera Hindu Kush, and there are some similarities (Aoud Intensive is not as green, and leaning more to the warm feminine, but can be considered a unisex fragrance, and has similar oriental notes) so debating whether or not to purchase a full bottle, or just “enjoy” my 2mL split. GREAT fall-winter fragrance. Maybe Santa will gift me with a bottle!

This fragrance had me beat. I can't figure it out and it doesn't sit comfortably with me. In sum it's extraordinary. It's complex, rich multifaceted, evolves, the sillage is opulence beyond compare... It feels like mancera stumbled across this by chance rather than design as none of mancera other fragrances smell quite so exquisite. But I can't quite wear it myself. It's very alluring, drawing you in by it's warm aqueous rich effervescent sillage, but then smelling too close you feel how austere dry and imposing it actually is. A real paradox. You are serenaded into a lull by floral warm oudy woods but then struck by the saffron or culinary spice or strong violet note. I sway from loving it as the best thing in my collection (did I also mention it's beast mode) to shelving it as an unwearable cacophony of astringent notes. I have tried to settle on a final conclusion but just can't. It's like a very complex painting im still trying to figure out.

Love this. An aged patchouli and dry amber accord play with the oud and Damask rose. A touch of cumin adds an intoxicating touch. Smells great from beginning to end. I get some similarities to Masque Milano’s Tango, though Aoud Exclusif is darker. EDIT: I have worn this a dozen times now and I realise two things. First, the far drydown brings out the subtle incensey qualities of the oud, working against remnants of the rose and amber. It’s very nice at this point. Secondly, the opening and mid is quite spicy, spicier than any other oud I’ve tried from Mancera. Not quite as spicy as Penhaligon’s Halfeti or Montale’s Oud Dream, but the spices have that same mildly-hot woody quality presumably from the pepper and cumin. This is why the comparisons to Roja’s Amber Aoud, which is not noticeably spicy, do not make sense to me. This to me is far closer to Masque Milano’s Tango which has the same amber and cumin accord as Aoud Exclusif.

I 100% agree with @easterncrescent below me. Aoud Exclusif is a divine fragrance, I’d go as far even to say a work of art. But it’s definitely a paradox. I can’t think of a situation or environment where this fragrance could actually work despite its beauty. IMO this is hands down Mancera’s top fragrance... it’s gorgeous, it’s regal, it's extraordinary, but it’s IMPRACTICAL. It’s not an everyday wear, it’s definitely a cold weather winter fragrance only but it’s too intense to be worn in enclosed places, and although this fragrance is high quality and masterfully blended, it can become cloyingly aggressive and kind of suffocating after a while. I don’t regret purchasing this fragrance even though it’s been shelved in my collection for over a year and I have yet to actually wear it outside my home. I’m more than content to spritz this thing of beauty on every blue moon while relaxing at home for my personal enjoyment.

A stunning composition. I collect fragrances and have a substantial personal collection built up over a number of years. Aoud Exclusif is in my top five of all time. It is warm, enveloping, elegant and distinctive. As a friend said to me “my goodness that smells like money”. It is definitely a fall/winter fragrance. Possibly for early, cool days in Spring as well. This is a fragrance that you wear dressed up with a smart suit or a classic well put together outfit. It leaves a warm, lingering cloud behind you - not offensive in any way - actually very much the opposite - it demands attention but in a positive, engaging way. People want to know what you are wearing and where you can buy it. I feel a sense of wanting to gate-keep it and not tell them as I want to keep this unique fragrance for myself. The cost is insanely reasonable given what you are getting for the money. Amazing Mancera, truly amazing.

#929 in my "Tour de Fragrance" To my nose this smells like a combo of Armani Prive Oud and Dior Homme Intense. I mean, how can anyone not love that? Leans just oriental enough to suit my taste. Just enough rose to enhance the scent and not overpower it. Just enough cumin and pepper to give it some added zing. Quality agarwood. Enough florals to make it wearable for a woman as well as a man. Between the cumin, agarwood and pepper the drydown is almost like a dry maximum cacao chocolate. I honestly can't think of what they could have done to improve this except maybe swap the violet out for iris, but I always want iris. Strong sillage, but not offensive because of its dryness. I judge this car pool, elevator and small office safe. A bold scent for date night. Definitely ordering a full bottle of this one.

I blind bought this, and it definitely took a little getting used to. It was my 1st of this style of fragrance, a very middle eastern, heavy oud/rose blend. It blew my face off the first time I sprayed it. Couldn't believe how strong 1 spray was. Lasts 18+ hours on my skin, with a heavy sillage for 8+ hours. Fast foward a few uses, and I was in love. It's very addicting, and the blend is artistry. There is prominent patchouli here with the oud, rose and spices, and a very nice incense that comes foward on the dry down and smells fantastic mixed with the woods. This is 3-4 spray maximum for me and I'm a heavy sprayer. Two is probably really ideal. I think this fragrance will definitely challenge western noses not used to this style of perfumery. But this is a masterpiece. Give it a few wears and chance.

Recently got 29 decants direct from Mancera (a few were freebies). I rank Aoud Exclusif as being 8th best of the 29 decants I got. I got a full 8ml sample of it and I've worn it on several occasions. It is a beast longevity wise - only Red Tobacco and Black Prestigium last as long on my skin out of all the Mancera scents I got. It's creamy, vanilla-ish (although not listed as a note), slightly boozy and intoxicating, with rose underpinning it. I'm not a massive rose fan, but in this case, I can see why they did it - it really works and isn't overpowering. Is it a blind buy? Nope. I don't think any Mancera I tried beyond Cedrat Boise is. If the scent profile looks appealing to you though (and you like oud/rose in general), I can definitely recommend getting a decant. It's really good stuff. 8.75/10

A very well-balanced Mancera, their signature oud accord with spicy and resinous and floral notes. So well-blended - on my skin it leans masculine with a tilt towards spice and slightly sharp oud, with some soapy violet in the background. On my GFs skin it leans towards the sweeter rosy floral notes. We can both wear this at the same time and it’s like we’re wearing different but related scents. If you want a straight-forward well-balanced oud in your collection this is one to try - and for the price, possibly the one to beat. Update: this might have a lot of Iso E Super, as I've gotten a headache whenever I've worn it from the bottle. I think the sample had the benefit of a lighter spray ... I'll have to find a way to wear lightly enough, or sadly I'll have to sell it.

The performance you wished all your other fragrances gave! One spray on a piece of paper and it filled my basement for a whole day, with ventilation running. Others have mentioned 3 or 4 sprays, that might be too much, I personally wouldn't spray more than 2. It smells clean and very oriental. If you've ever been to a middle eastern country, you would've smelled something similar, probably made by local perfume mixers. It might be difficult to pull off in a western country. It might work if you use it around people you already know. However, I personally would not wear it to a club or a place I might meet new people. Not to say it smells off-putting, it's just that others might just not be accustomed to this scent profile. Scent: 8.5/10 Performance: 10/10

Besides Nepalese Oud, the base notes include Leather (probably Labdanum), Amber, Vanilla and White Musk. This wonderful oriental fragrance is my signature scent. Period. Beautiful Amber/Oud/Rose/Saffron combo with Leathery, Musky and Spicy nuances. Well blended and balanced. Very smooth. Not as loud as Red Tobacco, but definetely present, with tremendous longevity. Besides being a bit dry, this EDP, like the best vintage fragances, is very sober and elegant. Definetely for mature men. EDIT: Nuclear beast-mode frgrance best suited for cold winters. Still one of the best offerings from the house, but not very versatile. EDIT 2: For best results, apply three to four sprays per wearing. You will not need more than that. Very pleasant when applied moderately.

Had high hopes & it didn't disappoint. Aoud Exclusif (AE) is a beautiful Arabic oudy smell. Warm spiciness of cumin & saffron engluf a core of rose-softened, woody, & slightly resinous oud. As it dries down, the rose & saffron become considerably more prominent, softening that woody oud smell and add a light sweetness. The patchouli adds a very faint green aromatic smell. Oudy, woody, warm, spicy, Arabic. This is gorgeous, charming oud fragrance. If you are looking for a warm spicy oud/rose fragrance, this is a must try! I still, unfortunately, find it harsh like most of Montale & Mancera but I really love the smell. AE is a great cool weather wear, that leans masculine with spicy woodiness. I absolutely "Love" it.

Wow, talk about a beast-mode fragrance. This is not one for beginners or for those who prefer safe designer scents. It’s an oud, rose, and spice bomb, loud, projecting, and capable of filling a room. Although I've moved away from this scent profile recently, it was the perfect choice for a cold winter's day celebrating my wife's birthday at a high-end Japanese restaurant last weekend. The oud added warmth and depth, the rose brought a touch of sweetness, and the spices, from the opening to the dry down, gave it real character. It reminds me of Montale’s Black Aoud, but with its own unique twist. This is definitely one for the mature male crowd. Wear this, and you’ll be making a statement. 8/10

This stuff is absolutely beast mode. A somewhat harsh opening, very saffron, rose and cumin foward, though I enjoy it, dries down to a very oud/woody scent with some beautiful rose dancing just behind it. Also get a bit of patchouli in the dtoward, which blends nicely with the oud and rose. This is a tough fragrance to find a situation for though, definitely a touch more formal I believe, need to be dressed well with this fragrance or it will be out of place. Could wear on a date, but depending what part of the world you're from, the date may run after smelling this. Definitely a middle eastern type scent, I'm American and love this stuff. One of the Montale/Mancera gems.

Mancera's huge array of releases, which seem to tell consumers "here's your oud, how would you like it served?" cheapens the image of their perfumes, making them seem like a commodity instead of stand-along works of art, so the average consumer could be forgiven for not expecting anything great from the line, but Aoud Exclusif is indeed a great perfume that deserves serious attention. Here, the classic oud-rose combination is made simultaneously drier and more austere, stern with a big note of labdanum (churchy incense), and plush and soft with a velvety violet accent. This is the best oud I've ever smelled. IF you don't love this, oud just isn't for you.

LEATHER & LABDANUM Rose-Oud-Patchouli-Cumin Blend. Opens with a warm-spicy burst of saffron-cumin with resinous-honey touches from labdanum, that deepens into a rose-oud-patchouli heart with velvety, honeyed, near-plum, violet, leathery, warm-spicy & earthy touches, all resting on an oud base. The clean sweaty cumin note here won't be for everyone, but elevates the florals in a fresh & lively way. This is really smoothly blended with well above average performance. Overall this is a rose-oud-patchouli-cumin scent that's distinguished by leather & resinous-sweet labdanum. Falls somewhere close to Amber Aoud Roja Dove. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

I really love this one. The oud is definitely there, but never overly loud. Not barnyard, nor offensive in any way. I find Aoud Exclusif to be somewhat linear, but that is just fine with me because the fragrance is outstanding. Soft rose, saffron, violet and oud combine to create the most incredible aroma. Longevity is outstanding. Projection is above average with excellent sillage. I've had total strangers ask me what I'm wearing and compliment me on it. That's pretty cool. I think you could wear this in any season of the year, in any pretty much any type of situation, day or night. Just exercise spray control in hotter weather.

Wow! Seriously this fragrance gets the perfect blend across the board here. The rose, Oud and leather mixed with some fresh spicy nuances blended to masculine perfection. It’s fresh spicy, floral, leathery with some smoky sweetness added to it. My wife really liked it and it’s unusual for her to like Niche fragrances, but this one she really liked. So for me this one gets a 9/10 for me. It’s phenomenal. After wearing it and testing it a couple days I stand by my previous statement. This is phenomenal! One thing I'm noticing is how boozy it seems to be. Very Cognac like with rose and leather. Great fragrance!

This is how the wealthy Arabs smell! Such a beautiful oud forward scent that should definitely be tested before buying. It is very potent, I sprayed it once on my hand to test its longevity. 30 mins after my sister came into my room and asked what that smell of oud was. Just one spray was enough to fill an entire room that's how strong it was, btw I have the magnetic cap version that was purchased from fragrancebuy a couple of days back. This an all-year-round scent for me as the juice is not as thick as you would expect from an oud scent, I can't wait to wear this outside. 1 or maybe 2 sprays max!

There are only three fragrances that can perform like this one. Two of the total of four I love, one is Mancera Red Tobacco, and this one. These two are amazing. One I dislike which Unique'e Luxury Akdeniz, and the one I hate with every nerve in me is Kutay, also by Unique' e Luxury. The level of synthetic woody funk in Kutay is just unbelievable. This one is at the level of Roja's most expensive ouds. However, this one maybe stronger. It is a full day commitment once you pull the trigger, even if it is one spray. It is Middle Eastern rose, oud, with hints of saffron done right.

I have owned a bottle for almost 2 years now ! wearing this today i had to leave a review. This stuff is amzing ! spicy opening then the oud starts to come over little by little until it settles down to a warm musky oud with patchouli. This fragrance is not heavy on the rose, as others said oud rose combo, it's there but not that noticeable. Exelent value for money, smells expensive. The performance and projection are both amazing, already got 2 compliments at work today :) It was a total blind buy for me but wouldn't recommand if you're not familiar with such scent profiles

To my nose Aoud Exclusif smells like someone tried to make a Dark Soda using Middle Eastern ingredients. A unique Soda. Like how Dr Pepper is unique. The Rose is just barely noticeable underneath the Leathery Saffron. But then becomes a bit more apparent as the fragrance dries down. This fragrance is not the typical Rose/Oud combo IMO. Its more of a Woody/Spicy. One that will appeal to the ladies as long as its not over sprayed. I feel like Aoud Exclusif; although strong in performance, can be worn year round as long as you're easy on the trigger & its worn at Night.

Love at first smell! At first I doubted my choice and at one point I thought I had made a mistake! Black pepper, cumin, agarwood, labdanum... I thought this would be animalic and unpleasant, but... it turned out to be a very elegant perfume. I've been wearing it for the third day now, and that doesn't happen often for me! This is a perfume that is for formal occasions! Very expensive smelling and masculine! This is a perfume that exudes confidence and makes you reckon with it! The power here is huge! 2 sprays and that's it!

So I liked aoud black by montale but wanted something versatile. I blind bought this but it's okay because I've sampled a number of mancera and montale. Aoud exclusif, to my nose, is in similar territory as TF noir series. This is certainly not a clone though, it is a spicy, woody scent with some bright floral notes, all with the middle eastern perspective. TO ME, this a year round fragrance good for cool summer nights to cold winter days. I wouldn't wear this on hot summer days though. So anyways, I love this fragrance.

Be very careful with over-spraying this one. Anything more than half a spray is gonna give you a headache! However, if applied very lightly (half a spray is enough!), it leaves a very seductive scent trail that evokes a middle eastern hareem - I imagine Scheherazade wearing this perfume to the King's chambers and recount him tales of Arabian Nights as he falls madly in love with her. In my opinion, this scent leans more feminine, but there is nothing wrong with men embracing their softer side.

It reminded me of parts of other fragrances and I didn’t love it at first, but settles down nicely into a spicy oud rose that blends together and forms an accord thats not unlike the tobacco-cinnamon-rose in Chanel Egoiste. Perhaps Ill say a similar but not identical vibe as that one, although this is less “holiday craft store” scented than the chanel. Maybe not the biggest projector, but lasts quite a while, especially on fabric. Quite pleasant, especially in colder temps.

One of the best most potent yet alluring scents i've ever smelled in my life!! The scent trail and projection on this is ridiculous.So,what you get here is a fantastic woody floral spicy leathery amber scent.Fragrances that share similarities to this are Roja Amber Aoud,Roja Sultan Of Oman,Dior Homme Parfum,Mancera Black to Black etc.In other words serious company and this might be the best.This smells like money a real sheek fragrance for a sheikh

So so strong oud! Even after 11 hours, leaves a VERY noticeable sillage. The Opening reminds of MFK Cashmere mood. Then after 30 minutes you get a hint of rose - common to ouds from this house, and it just continues like this- oud/suede/rose. Very pungent, sweet dry down (resembles Montales Honey aoud - nost favorite scent from Montale). I don’t think you can ever finish a 120 ml bottle in your lifetime, so buy a travel size. I know I will!

Aside from black to black this is the best rose oud combo that I've ever smelled. 9.5/10. 4 comments down nails it perfectly. It's rated as a 4.24 which puts it as one of the best rated manceras and for good reason. Longevity and sillage are both off the charts. Do not overspray this. If you want a beast, this is it. FYI this fragrance is super oily. Mancera doesn't put the concentration on the box but I bet it's over 30 percent.

This old and classic scent may not suits young crowds .let it dry for few minutes then it smell so nice the aoud note here is very dominating it is show off scent very loud people going to ask you what you wearing . Scent is not feminine at all so ladies try to avoid this . This is big brother to aramis,quorum, safari, hugo boss the one,..... same line but not same smell! Smell exactly like tom ford ebene feme.

What a beautiful stand-out this fragrance is from Mancera. It's a spicy, smokey, and slightly sweet delight. This is sophisticated, smells niche, and opulent. I'm also looking forward to using this to layer with sweeter scents that need some depth. Definitely unisex but I see no reason why a woman can't wear this. I'm a girly girl and I will wear this proudly, enchanting people with my sensual scent bubble.

It’s insane. It is literally so good. I have 50 or so in my collection and I got this today after a sample last year. It’s immediately in my top 3 alongside Christian Dior’s Leather Oud and Miller Harris’s Vetiver Insolent, although those two are both different. This, it’s just sublime. Heavenly. Addictive. And amazing value at £1 per 1ml. If you like oud, it’s a no brainer and a safe blind buy. Glorious.

Wearing this right now... It has major notes of Myrrh, rose, and oud. This is a potent fragrance that I didnt expect to have such an intense feeling with it. This reminds me of going to Catholic Mass as a child. The smell of the pews and old women and incense that consumed my nostrils. I would not consider this scent to be very masculine. It also has notes of eucalyptus and lemon.

I’m in love. This is an amazing scent. Perfectly unisex leaning feminine on me. Boozy opening and spicy powdery dry down. But all day I’m catching little fresh soapy whisps under the spice. It lasts a good 10 hours and just envelopes you in glorious complicated spicy roses aoud. It’s heaven. This is my new signature scent I reckon. Can’t wait to buy a full bottle.

The longevity on this is every bit eternal and sillage is enormous. Out of the 15 manceras i own this is the loudest and longest lasting. If you notice this is also the highest rated mancera on fragrantica. This is a beautiful dark, oud and rose fragrance. 9/10 from me and bonus points for the performance.

I pull this baby out when I’m feeling daring and wearing my highest heels of course. Aoud Exclusif is an entire vibe and it ain’t for the faint of heart. Of the Manceras I own, this has to be my favorite next to Instant Crush. I get an instant confidence boost with this one (oud usually does that to me). Love this rich, smokey, sexy fragrance!

To me this is one of those fragrances that smell like the color of the juice that’s in the bottle (maroon/burgundy). Very unisex but can learn in either direction based on skin chemistry. Given the additional notes in this fragrance I think it would be a pretty good entrance into rose/oud scents. Overall 9/10

The opening will test your nerves but once it settles it smells so good and sophisticated. It takes some confidence to wear it, but for heaven's sake do not go trigger-happy with it. Three maximum four sprays are more than enough or else you will choke every living organism that you come across on the day.

This smells like Arab money. Lovely Rose/oud that is well balanced and not too sweet. Definitely masculine to my nose. Probably one of the best rose/oud fragrances at this price point from discounters. Being an Arab myself, I gladly wear this in the heat and blast everyone with my fragrance as I walk by.

Amazing smell. It's a really complex rose oud scent that is probably one of my favorite special occasion fragrances. You won't find a better oud unless you want to pay double the price, and even then, this spicy scent has a place on your shelf. The performance is nuclear. 8.5/10

A very nice rose/oud fragrance it does come across as drier and more masculine than other rose/oud fragrances I've tried . I do like it and it's a performer in longevity and sillage. It does smell synthetic but at $75 it's a good deal (never pay retail for mancera)

I got a 3ml decant and once I got a whiff, I gave it a full wear and then bought a bottle later that day. This is special. 😩🤞🏽 rose rides through the whole thing but not overpowering at all, blended perfectly with the oud and oriental notes. It’s absolutely BANGIN.
