Intense Cedrat Boise

It is "More Than a Perfume" I’ve finally found it. The search for a signature scent is over for me after wasting so much money on designer and niche perfumes and it ends with Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense. I don’t say this lightly—this fragrance has become an emotion for me. It’s the first thing I think of wearing in the morning and a scent I crave even when I’m just at home. It’s that powerful. It's an experience that has captivated me completely. The love I have for this perfume is something I can't fully describe, but I will try. The Scent Journey: The opening is like a burst of the highest quality citrus—bright, juicy, and incredibly refined. It’s not a sharp or cleaning-product lemon; it’s uplifting and sophisticated. But the real magic happens as it dries down. Within minutes, it smoothly transitions into something richer. The citrus blends with woody notes that settles into the most beautiful, creamy blend of vanilla, leather, the most incredible dry-down I have ever smelled. It’s complex, bold, and utterly addictive. This balance between freshness and deep warmth is what makes it so addictive and versatile. It’s like starting your day in a sun-drenched citrus grove and ending it in a warm, luxurious library filled with leather books. Performance: A Gentle Giant Let me be honest about performance, because it’s different for everyone. On my skin, especially my wrists, the projection is strong for the first hour or two, then it becomes more intimate. I might have to bring my wrist close to my nose to enjoy it after that, which I actually don’t mind—it’s like a personal secret. However, on my clothes, this perfume is an absolute beast. I sprayed it on the back of my neck on a Monday, and my kameez collar picked up the scent. 3 Days later, today (Thursday), I can still get a clear, beautiful whiff of that creamy, ambery dry-down when I sniff the fabric. It’s not a faint ghost of a scent; it’s still very much present. It's a beautiful, polished, and sophisticated scent that lingers powerfully. This is not an exaggeration. Under my kameez, on my chest and neck, it lasts all day. So for me, it’s the perfect combination: a powerful presence on clothes and a gentle, personal scent on skin. When And Where I Wear: I wear it everywhere. With just 3-4 sprays, it’s perfectly professional for the office—it announces elegance without shouting. It’s also bold enough for evenings and special events. It survives my 28 km bike commute to the office in Karachi, the scent comes alive again once I’m indoors. It’s my all-occasion, all-weather companion. Final Word: A Love Affair in a Bottle I’ve tried many fragrances, but this one owns my heart. Even though it’s a French-style perfume and likely built more on high-quality aroma chemicals than natural oud or raw materials, it doesn’t matter — because the experience it gives me is pure joy. The 120ml bottle justify every single penny invested on it. This isn’t just a fragrance I like; it’s the one I love, and I know I’ll be buying it for years to come. If you are looking for luxurious, long-lasting, and unique scent that makes a statement without being overpowering, stop your search. Cedrat Boise Intense is The One.

This is an great scent but for whatever reason one I've neglected to appreciate! It's time to put that right. We all know there's a myriad of notes from citrus to oakmoss to leather and so much more. Fortunately they come together to produce a beautifully smooth long lasting, anytime fragrance. Yes there is a distant Aventus note but for me this is so much more. I also feel there is an earthiness that could come from Hermés too. Those additional touches of leather, ambergris and Oud amongst other ingredients elevate this to something above the many other generic offerings all clamouring for a piece of the golden goose of profiles! Ive opted for this a lot without realising, to the point that Fragantica showed me it was my most worn last month. Perhaps that's why I've not appreciated it enough untill now! It's just so easy to grab and go with the confidence it'll last all day, smell great and won't upset anyone except the occasional mock offended woke type nutters of the world. It's an extrait, no doubt about that. It's gloopy, especially in cooler temperatures. That's ok with me as I can direct and apply easily depending on the required usage. Great for the gym, lovely for just popping out and about too. Excels in the heat but has plenty in reserve with all those deep notes to perform well when it's chillier too. In fact, it switches the notes up a little depending on the weather, I like that! A scent for anyone although to me it's quite masculine, if such a thing still exists! I genuinely see this as a perfume that has enough about it to be worn at any age and practically any daytime environment. It'll do evenings fine but would be primarily a warm evening option for me, due to the initial freshness. Value is exceptional when you consider it's a good sized bottle, often discounted, and an extrait with all round strength to last 12 hours easily and project well over arms length with the sillage to match. Such a great option and different to the tons of designer stuff out there. It has some mass appeal I suppose but fits well for some of us that are old hat and tired of repetition and enjoy something with a bit of an edge. Modern freshness with a traditional and niche mid and base. Well worth a moment of your time to consider, sample and probably purchase.

Okay so this fragrance is just amazing in every aspect. I have a bottle of the edp coming, but the intense is beautiful. I love what Mancera did with this dna. The intense version smells just like the edp just a bit darker from the extra leather added and the oud. The intense is extra sweet, extra fruity, extra leathery, richer and a bit more grown up than the edp. From the sample of the edp that I had, the edp was a bit brighter and a bit more youthful. The intense literally smells like an "intense" version. So, it lives up to its name. Now, its comparisons to Aventus. Cedrat Boise and Cedrat Boise doesn't "smell like Aventus" per se. They share a lot of similiarities and the comparisons are fair and expected, honestly. They both share the bright citrus in the beginning. They both share the sharp, tart, fruitiness from the black currant. While Aventus has pineapple and apple, Cedrat Boise just has fruity notes which may include pineapple and apple. They both share the woodiness and the oakmoss notes. They also share Jasmine and patchouli. Aventus has that smokey Birch while Cedrat Boise and the Intense has leather notes. Aventus does have a leathery accord to it, but not like Cedrat Boise. Aventus is also more airy and has a slight and subtle molecular aspect to it because of the ambroxan. The ambroxan, being in the base notes, comes in heavy in the dry down. Cedrat Boise Intense has a beautiful bright leathery drydown. Cedrat Boise Intense, to me, is a bit sweeter, richer and a more "syrupy" take on the dna if you will. The Intense also has that signature Mancera leather note that is quite pleasant. It doesn't necessarily scratch that Aventus itch but if you like Aventus because of the citrus, fruity woodiness, then you will love Cedrat Boise Intense. If you like Aventus for that distinct smokey pineapple and birch then neither the Cedrat Boise edp or Intense will cut it for you. I think both men and women can wear both versions. Both versions last a very long time. The Intense projects heavily for a good 4 hours. Then, it falls back a little and projects softer for another 2 hours. It lasts as a skin scent for another 4 hours for me. It lasts an even longer time on clothes. For an extrait, this stuff projects. This is one of my favorites from Mancera.

A Captivating Olfactory Journey Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise is a masterpiece fragrance that takes you on an unforgettable olfactory journey. The fragrance opens with a burst of refreshing and zesty citrus notes, led by the star ingredient, cedrat, which provides a distinctive and nuanced aroma that is both invigorating and intriguing. This is further elevated by a hint of fruity blackcurrant, adding a touch of sweetness that is perfectly balanced. As the fragrance evolves, it reveals its heart of smoky and woody notes, led by birch and patchouli, that add depth and complexity to the scent. The subtle notes of jasmine and rose, intermingled with the smoky aroma, create a striking contrast that adds a touch of elegance to the fragrance. The base notes of vanilla and leather provide a smooth and sensual finish that lingers on the skin, creating an irresistible and alluring aura that is sure to captivate everyone around you. The fragrance has an impressive longevity of up to 12 hours, making it ideal for long summer evenings or crisp autumn days. One of the standout notes in this fragrance is oud, a prized ingredient in perfumery known for its rich and complex aroma. In Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise, the oud note is masterfully blended with other notes to create a unique and captivating scent. The oud note in this fragrance is not fecal or offensive, as some oud fragrances can be, but rather adds a woody and smoky dimension to the scent that perfectly complements the other notes. The bottle design is a work of art, with its elegant lines and striking black and gold color scheme that perfectly embodies the luxurious and refined nature of the fragrance. Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise is a fragrance that defies categorization, combining citrus and smoky notes in a way that is both unique and captivating. It is a sophisticated and complex fragrance that is perfect for any occasion, whether you're dressing up for a formal event or just enjoying a casual day out. This fragrance is sure to leave a lasting impression and become a staple in your fragrance collection.

Phew, what a wild ride with this one... Let me start off by saying, boys, you gotta' let this one macerate if it's a fresher batch, and even then after opening the bottle up, let it macerate anyways. Fair warning to anyone buying this. When I first opened up my bottle and sprayed, all I smelled was straight lemon, pinesol scent, and after the dry down it would go into a STRONG leather scent that were BOTH in your face... it was rough. I heard great things about this scent, I heard it was signature worthy, I heard all of this stufff.....but this wasn't living up to the hype! I thought "What's the deal man?" So I sprayed a whole bunch of it on a sweater I had in my closet, and I kinda just let the fragrance bottle sit, and the sweater sit for a bit, and I came back to it in the evening after work.. It smelled..different. Things blended a little better, and the scent profile had changed from strong lemony, to a lighter lemon, subtler leather, smooth woodiness, smooth vanilla. Smelled the bottle, and tried the scent and it was better. Let it sit again for a few more days. After macerating for almost a week, it got even better. Scent profile goes like this: lemony burst at the start super fruity, but not pinesoly or in your face like before, and immediately you get the middle with the leather notes and smoothness to it. Dry down is immaculate, subtle fruitiness, smooth leather, smooth white sandalwood, smooth vanilla, and it lasts like that all day. It's fantastic. The blending of the fragrance notes and transitions between them is incredibly seamless, it gives you manly without trying, sweet, but not overly sweet, and extremely smooth. It's signature scent worthy, it's worthy of the hype, it smells great, and extremely different than most of the normal colognes/fragrances in the mainstream. Definitely a fragrance for I'd say 28+, younger guys won't understand this type of fragrance. All arounder, good for anytime, anywhere. Great sillage, great projection, and lasts all day. Talking about 9+ hours. 10/10

A Search for Perfection Ends with Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise As someone who has spent a good deal of time (and money) on decants from both niche and designer houses, I've been on a mission to find "the one"—a signature scent that ticks all the boxes. I was looking for a fragrance that is citrusy, fresh, woodsy, and a beast when it comes to projection and longevity. After a long search, I can confidently say that Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise is the champion I've been looking for. This fragrance is a unique take on a citrus scent. My initial test was with just two sprays on my skin, and even on a fresh bottle, I was stunned to find it lasted a solid 6-7 hours. That's a strong performance for a new fragrance right out of the box. But the real magic happened after I let it sit for a week. The Power of Maceration For those who are disappointed and weeping with their initial experience, I can't stress this enough: you need to macerate your fragrance. After a week of letting my bottle sit in a dark place with the cap off, the difference was night and day. The performance and projection are now on another level. This thing is an absolute beast and has garnered me plenty of compliments. For the newbies out there, here's a quick tip. Don't macerate your bottle right after you buy it. Instead, take it out of the box and give it a good 4-5 sprays. This introduces air into the bottle, which is crucial for the maceration process. After that, put the bottle away in a dark place for at least a week or two and resist the urge to use it. The wait is more than worth it. Mancera claims that Intense Cedrat Boise is the one to choose when you can only choose one. Based on my experience, they're absolutely right. It's a solid, all-around performer that has earned a permanent spot in my collection.

Dry, citrus heavy in the beggining but compared to the original it is less citric and synthetic for me. Fragrance shifts to the Leather woods pretty quick (30 mins), Oud is noticable here. Sweetness is there but for my nose it is less sweet, less juicy and much more darker than the original Cedrat Boise. It is mildly spiced but wood and leather is much more noticable here. Bases are pretty similar between each other I'd say, but this one doesn't have cedar and vanilla notes are more noticable. Long story short, Cedrat Boise Intense is in my opinion one of the best fragrance releases from Mancera. Scent profile is similar to the original but it is deeper, richer, smoother and smokier. It definitely leans masculine rather than unisex but with confidence anyone can rock this. Performance is beastly but it causes some nose blindless. Also on clothes and paper citrus is much more dominant, so spray this on skin to get it's full scent profile. Fragrance is extremely versatile but control sprays in office-work-school settings. I was between Aoud Lemon Mint and this, but due to budget restraints I only bought this one. I am satisfied of my choice. About the Aventus clone discussion, they have obvious similarities in their scent DNA but compared to Aventus this is much darker, woodier, and richer. Opening is close to CDNIM Parfum but later in the drydown no Aventus DNA comes close to this one. If you already own / smelled Cedrat Boise and want a stronger one, this is not it. If you already own / smelled Cedrat Boise and want it DARKER, this is it.

In a class of its own. This is a ghostly fragrance weaving in and out of awareness. You will not detect this after a moment, then catch whiffs throughout the wear and get unsolicited comments. Still, It's subtle and needs a couple extra sprays. Reminds me of the dry, airy, light, ephemeral citrus in YSL MYSLF Le Parfum. First impression is a buoyant and dry citrus with a slight saccharine sweet accord that may seem strange. Once this passes, this is balanced and has much nuance and versatility. A floral quality is present and harmonizes well. How does this differ from the original? It lacks the punchy, audacious quality of the impression of the original. It does not have the same punchy, earthy, grounded attributes. It also interacts less with natural body musks, as it exists in the ether more. If you like loud fragrances that announce themselves, this isn't that. It isn't a beast but is subtler, still detectable but with mystique. This doesn't scream like the OG Cedrat Boise, but rather steps into the room quietly. This is one of the best by Mancera due to its mass appeal and versatility. Projection is medium and longevity is decent, 5-6 hours. It's such a lovely fragrance that it is worth refreshing after a time. So many people will pass on this flanker due to it's subtle nature, but it deserves time to be appreciated. This man who wears this is sophisticated and intelligent with a dry wit to match the scent. This is not just another Aventus aspiration; this stands well on its own.

Whilst everyone is bickering about what it’s comparable to and what it’s a knock off of, let’s agree to disagree. Like practically all things in life everyone has their own perspective on things. And one’s body chemistry and hormones and skin PH plays a huge role in how a fragrance performs. What works for some will not for others. I’ll give my two scents, pun intended. It is a lot like Creed Aventus Absolu to me but more on the fruitier side. Less spice and musk more sharp lemon and blackcurrant. I think it sits nicely between Creed Aventus Cologne and Aventus Absolu. Despite spices being in the notes I’m not getting that at all, even in the dry down. It’s quite 2 dimensional but I don’t mind that. It’s a scent profile that we all know and love and are familiar with. Masculine, fresh, fruity, suitable for every day wear. The Creed Aventus lines for whatever reason are not compatible on my skin and don’t even make it past the 1 hour mark. From immediate application it’s a skin scent. So for someone that wants that familiar scent profile we all love but in a different formula it was a no brainier I had to try it. And I’m glad. Because it lasts. And it’s an extrait. And considerably cheaper. I’ll be buying this regularly as my alternative to creed. This isn’t a general statement on the perfume itself but more so how it works on me and me alone. Like what you like, wear what you want to wear. Agree to disagree and move on with your life ✌🏼

Very much similiar the OG, differences being that it gets rid of the majority of the fruits in the mid and the opening aside from the Lemony citrus and the black currant, and replaces it with leather, slightly heavier spices, and a very understated Oud. I'd say I prefer this between the 2 as it feels more masculine and has a less sweet drydown (though that could also be the deal breaker for others), that being said I still think its a good scent at the end of the day, starts out citrusy with a little Spicy airyness, that dries down to a leathery woody fragrance with the citrus becoming a backbone, as I said the oud is quite understated but it's definitely there, it's also a more palatable Oud to western noses, not that animalic to my nose. As I said in my Cedrat Boise review, I still prefer Hacivat as my undeniable favourite fragrance in this style, but I'd put CB Intense as a close 2nd, above Aventuse Cologne, CB, OG Aventus etc. Good for the warmer months and days like the OG but I'd say you can easily wear this all year round due to the darker drydown and leather aspect, I get around 10 hours longevity on my skin, with strong projection for the first 3 hours then it becomes a more medium projecting fragrance for its remaining duration. Overall I'd give a solid 8/10

Intense Cedrat Boise opens with a nice fruity tang that instantly catches the attention. It's reminiscent of Aventus, but honestly, I prefer this version. The fragrance is woody and smoky, with a masculine edge, but there’s also a playful, slightly sweet undertone that sets it apart. The animalic nature adds a unique, almost dirty element that gives it a bold identity. While I can’t compare this to the original Cedrat Boise (since I’ve never tried it), I can say this one makes for a great signature scent and is pretty unique. It’s a solid alternative to Aventus if you’re looking for something less smoky and fruity. What I love about this fragrance is that it feels like something for everyone. Different notes appeal to different lifestyles, yet none feel out of place. The animalic edge could appeal to the country cowboy types, while the smoky, dirty vibe speaks to bikers. The woodsy notes will attract the lumberjack/plaid shirt crowd, and there’s a clean, masculine aroma that any corporate guy could wear. Finally, the citrusy, fruity opening works perfectly for the laid-back, toned-down types. This really is the one for all fragrance.

If you like the idea of citruses, vanilla and subtle leather in a fragrance, then this is for you. I have a small amount left of the EDP so I can compare and the Intense is exactly that, a more intense version of the OG. IMO, Cedrat Boise or Intense doesn't resemble Aventus in any way and certainly not Sauvage Elixir as I have seen someone mention😂 Intense starts off with the lemon and blackcurrant which stays with the fragrance until it settles down and the woods, leather and vanilla come through, still with the lemon but it's very smooth. I get compliments quite often especially in Spring time outside when the fragrance has dried down after a few hours, still popping off my skin which lasts around 6-8 hours, long enough for an event where you want something else to wear or the day is over. It will last for a very long time on clothes however, the juice is quite oily, so make sure you don't spray too close or you may stain your shirt. Again, if you love the idea of the scent profile, then it's a great fragrance, it's brighter and creamier than Aventus so don't expect it to be similar, it really does its own thing.

I’ve owned this for about 9 months now and oh boy, is this stuff liquid gold (not because the fragrance itself literally looks like a bottle of piss) You are greeted by a citrus and spice scent which closely resembles a potpurri that your mom would have put out around Christmas, except it smells far richer with a nice woody background to complement it. As the scent develops, this woody background develops even further. The oud seems pretty noticeable, very hard to miss and adds a really good aspect of earthiness to the scent, slightly animalic which is cool. I don’t fully catch onto to fully noticing the leather scent while wearing it, very faint to me. My favorite note in the fragrance as a whole is the vanilla. It really rounds out the earthiness of the base while also feeling like a reward. It really helps to call back to the sweetness of the top while also complementing everything else. Beautiful smell. Feels MUCH earthier than aventus so I’m not sure how this is entirely a clone. This is easily a 9/10, love wearing this smell, can be worn pretty much anywhere at anytime for me, just don’t overspray.

This scent is my first niche fragrance. Blind buy friendly! First and foremost, it is very balanced and clean. The first half of the bottle has most of the bright-citrus notes. When I first used it, it performed pretty "weak" but in reality my nose adapted way too fast to the citrus notes. These notes are very refreshing, loud & clean. The scent continues its journey into the leather, oud & amber notes. (which blend so well to me I can't really pinpoint each note). The transition into the different layers is sooo seamless. Towards the bottom half of the bottle (as more oxygen joined & the oils blended) the leather note significantly got stronger, and bolder. The citrus notes have started to leave wayyy quicker, or again, maybe I'm still noseblind. The sillage and projection have also significantly improved! I get lovely whiffs of it throughtout the morning at work. It easily lasts all day (at work), and can easily fill up a room if oversprayed. Obviously signature scent worthy. This is the type of scent that makes the ladies respect you. It's for humble bosses, not loud ones.

Definitely nowhere close to Creed Aventus or any of its clones. This is it's own thing. And being a Mancera, as long as you're buying from discounters, you'll get this at rates much cheaper than even many designers at discounters. Quite a deep, smooth citrus and creamy tart berry opening that pretty much stays linear for the most part. I can't pick up any oud or leather. Maybe the extrait denseness comes across as leathery to a few noses and that's relatable. During it's dry down, it turns a tad bit sweet owing that this scent has some vanilla in it. Definitely can be used as a all year round dumb reach unless it's sub zero degree, outdoors (never the case where I live). Since it's a Mancera, the performance without any doubt is spectacular. Medium to loud projection for the first 2.5-3 hrs and lasts an entire day at the office and some more for me. This translates to about 10-12 hrs of performance on my skin and fabric combined. Another similar performing fragrance at half the price that smells similar to Aventus could be Afnan SNOI but owning both wouldn't be redundant.

Intense Cedrat Boisé was my first niche fragrance and it remains my favorite. What can I say? This is almost perfect. It is a extremely complex scent that reveals more and more layers as the day goes on. It opens with a burst of citrus and tart black currant. After that the woodines sweet leather comes in. After a while the leather turns more animalic and the fragrance develops a musky quality. In the far dry down the oud note becomes more noticeable and a warm vanillic accord is mixed in. If you spray it on a fabric, the dry down also includes some dirty patchouli. This fragrance is beastly in performance, two full sprays last 10h easily. The one thing that prevents this from objectively being considered a perfect fragrance is the tendency to go nose blind to it. This happens to the wearer as well as people around them. Finally this scent is super versatile. It is fresh enough for the summer, warm enough for the winter. Professional enough for the day, yet seductive enough for the evening. This is my signature scent for a reason and I keep coming back to it.

Mancera Cedrat Boise Intense opens with a vibrant and energetic burst of citrus. It’s fresh, yet far from simple — the brightness of the citrus is balanced with a refined sweetness. The opening feels mass-appealing, but never generic. It has a presence that stands out even in a crowd. Shortly after, a subtle smokiness begins to emerge in the background. This slightly smoky nuance smooths out the sharp citrus edge and adds a more masculine, charismatic depth to the composition. The sweetness never becomes overwhelming; instead, combined with the smoky touch, it evolves into something more sophisticated. The projection is strong — it leaves a noticeable trail. Especially in indoor settings, it has that “who just walked in?” effect. Longevity is also very satisfying; once it settles on the skin, the fruity-woody warmth maintains its character for hours. Overall profile: Modern, attention-grabbing, and confident. A versatile fragrance with high compliment potential, suitable for both daily wear and evening occasions.

This stuff is awesome, when you spray it blasts you with fresh spiced citruses and blackcurrant then it settles into a woody, leathery, animalic base. Mancera got a real icon on their hands here, nothing smells quite like it. The animalic qualities elevate this so much and adds so much character, I almost detect a soft smokiness aswell. This is like a if you know you know alternative to typical blue scents, it can be worn in similar situations but has much more life. It lasts forever and has good sillage, the presentation and bottle are very nice and signal a premium product. I got mine for $120 CAD at a discounter which is amazingly priced for what it is. I blind bought this after reading reviews and it was very succesful, I never smelled the OG Cedrat Boise but I like how this is much richer and darker. After buying designers for years it’s good to support a small maker, highly reccomend this.

I’ve had this one for about a month now, and it’s growing on me more and more each time I wear it. It opens with a burst of bright citrus and fruity freshness that feels energetic and smooth. As it settles, the woods come forward with a touch of leather and a creamy base that adds depth and warmth. Performance is strong with around eight to nine hours of longevity and good projection for the first few hours before it settles closer to the skin. It feels more refined and richer than the earlier version, with a smoother blend and a slightly darker character. It works great for cooler weather or evenings, but it’s versatile enough for daytime wear too. The more I reach for it, the more I appreciate how well-balanced and elegant it is. Mancera made an excellent version that keeps the DNA but gives it more presence and sophistication.

WOW !! Just WOW!!! I have the OG and adore it. Truthfully, I bought my 1st bottle of the OG, loved it so much I have 3 backup bottles. Then I got in the Intense version and immediately I knew I am gonna be out a dope amount of money due to backup bottle buying. I love this juice. They made it smoother, better, woodier. They took the OG and made it somehow bigger, but better. It utterly slaps, in every way. Even if you are like me, and have multiple of the OG, still get this one. It isn’t fully redundant. A tad, but not fully. You will be amazed and love the hell outta this stuff. The notes above are on point. The longevity is about 10 plus on my skin and eternal on clothing. Over the 4 days I’ve used it, I have had 3 compliments from random people. That alone should tell you all you need to know.
