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.

I own this for three weeks, and im impressed. Very versatile, very manly, and complex too, but only for trained nose, after 1 hour leather as a middle note comes up, and its lovely done leather accord, as someone who love leather in perfumery this leather in spring/summer perfume is real hidden gem, i dont know maybe in this batch leather is very prominent. Performances are great to, strong projection and sillage in first 4 hours than noticable arm lenght projection and good silage, and yes, it needs to be matured, mine hasnt mature full yet, i think at least 6 months, so buy in december to have great performance perfume in spring/summer. Beautifull fragrance, i bought mine 100eur/120ml, and yes, ill repurchase, and yes, this and Aoud Lemon Mint makes perfect combo for the money.

It's really funny to me sometimes to read comments, especially when newbies start dividing scents into seasons.... take ANY SCENT, the season in which you can wear this or that scent is relevant only as long as you are not at home in order to get from point A to point B where you spend the rest of the evening, WINTER perfumes no longer make sense because you are INDOORS WHERE IT IS WARM. That's it. The whole concept of seasons in perfumes is created with the assumption that a person will be in the yard, not indoors, right? Why can't I use fresh perfumes in winter if I will be indoors? ;) just because it's winter? nonsense :) seasons and seasons in perfumery are completely irrelevant, they are more optional, advisable, you can choose, there are no limits or canons.

I'm a little bit dissapointed. I hoped it's not gonna be simmilar to other Aventus dupes, but unfortunately it smells like Afnan Supremacy not only intense but less mossy. It's simmilar do CDNI, but much less citrusy and deeper. I can't notice leathery or animalistic signs, maybe a little bit around the edges. Quality of juice is not great for this price, if you can feel "toaletic" citruse's vibe in arabian dupes, similar thing you get in Mancera. Is it bad? No. Is it synthethic? Yes for sure. It's just not great, for half of the price will be better. i'm gonna give it few more chances, but i don't think i'll be in love with it. Meh.

I did an earlier review and for the most part, I stand by what I said. I will double down on the fact that this does not scratch that Aventus itch. In my earlier review, I said it doesn't smell like Aventus. The more time I spend with this scent, the more I realize it really smells NOTHING like Aventus. Yes, fruity and woody and citrusy but I wouldn't even say it shares a similar DNA. To me, Cedrat Boise and Intense Cedrat Boise are their own thing and DNA. Yes, if you like Aventus, you might like this. But this is not even close in DNA. Other than that, still one of my favorites from Mancera!

Excellent and kind of classic manly fresh scent for summer. Black currant notes remind me of Poets of Berlin by Vilhelm Parfumerie, but this one is more subtle and fresh, though it does not appear on my skin at all, which is a pity. Citruses may feel a bit chemical at the beginning, but everything comes to normal in a couple of minutes. I really like how airy this one is. It's like the opposite of suffocation many perfumes can give, every inhale feels like a deep breath. It is very safe and suitable both for occasions and an office. If you want to get some compliments—give it a try.

I think this flanker is a genuine improvement on Cedrat Boise, ironically because it's less intense than the original. The original to me smelt strongly of leather, and I smelled like a car seat whenever I put it on. But it feels like the leather has been toned down while everything else has been turned up. It's brighter and zestier while still having enough of the leather to smell like the original. And the oud is an excellent touch that lends a smoky, musky vibe that brings it closer to Aventus. I wasn't a fan of Cedrat Boise, but I honestly might get a bottle of this.

Got this in yesterday, blind buy. Went to a little pub with my wife for a snack while we waited for the time to pick our daughter up from a babysitting job, and the waitress immediately exclaimed “someone at this table smells amazing”. I raised my hand. I love citrus accords and have a lot of them which I’ve acquired over the past year. Tygar and some clones, LV AS, imagination and some clones, Commodity Bergamot, Aventus and some clones (my least favorite). I love this addition and feel I can stretch my use of citrus further into the colder months.

Today is my first day using this fragrance, I had Cedrat Boise OG and I have to say that I think I like the OG better. The intense is not a bad fragrance, still fantastic, but I think I miss those fruitier notes and the sweeter dry down, because of this, I find the OG a bit more appealing, this one is a lot more masculine and leathery. In sum, Fantastic fragrance, Great Bang for your buck! If you like a Citrus fragrance with some sweet/fruity notes got the OG if you like Citrus, leather and maybe a little powdery smell, get the Intense.

Just a fun fact about Mancera, the new magnetic cap atomizers spray slowly, and they spray an evenly distributed mist. (like Dior Sauvage) The old screw cap sprayers, spray more and they spray it to one exact point. That changes skin longevity, since the mist will be evenly spread to a larger area it will create a scent cloud around you while the other one stays at the same spot. This is the main reason why people think most of the Mancera fragrances got reformulated into weaker versions, in reality, they just switched sprayers.

The opening of this is bold and very attractive with a strong fruitiness, almost syrupy but not sickly sweet. Overtime it settles down considerably and dries down to a subtle but pleasant leather. I have gotten multiple compliments out in public when wearing this, often hours after I have sprayed and after I could barely or at all detect it any longer. It's a solid addition to a masculine collection, and due to its very reasonable price, I would even say a safe blind buy if you like the idea of a fruit/leather scent profile.

Everytime I wear this, my officemates always says that I smell good. Always. I have a good couple rotation of my office fragrances, but when I use this, man, it always make a statement. Mature fruity smoky and ultra clean smelling gentlemen. On my skin, this lasts for hours too, on my clothes, that's another metric, it is daaaays and I'm not kidding. It will stick to your clothes for a week or two. Man, this smells amazing, it lasts for a long time, it gets compliments, what else could you ask for? Get this! 10/10

My friend was going abroad, and I asked him to bring me a PDM Layton from the duty-free shop. Surprisingly, this Mancera fragrance was on a great offer, so I ended up getting it instead — no regrets at all. Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise is truly exceptional. Its citrusy and leathery scent gets me every time. Some fragrances make you doubt that they’re truly niche, but this one certainly isn’t. Its sillage and projection are top-notch, and it’s a well-crafted, all-year-round fragrance. I’m loving it. 9.5/10

Nose Note #1046 It’s basically Cedrat Boise but a bit punchier. To my taste, it’s way more interesting and pleasant than the original Aventus, plus it has better longevity and is cheaper. Quality is great, price is great. Of course, if you’re looking for pure Aventus, this isn't it. But if you want that Aventus vibe with its own unique twist—here it is. At least, it’s my personal pick. I’m all for Cedrat Boise and this Intense version. And it works wonderfully all around the year! 9.5/10

Intense Cedrat Boise is a fantastic perfume the most versatile in my collection. I have used this in a day-time dressed up situation when I was delivering speech at an event. I have worn this at a night time special occasion, to the office...it is just a versatile creation which has a distinguised scent profile, elegant smelling but not too sophisticated to be dressed down. A real swiss-army knife perfume with great performance and longevity at 10/10 for me and a definite ❤️.

Actually bought a decant of 20 ml to try this first, and first spray was too much of an animalic smell which was making me have an headache. I let it rest for some days and actually now it smells better and a bit more sweet citrusy. Still the smell is dark and mature, not really a scent for younger guys in my opinion but could be a good one in any event or serious meetings. Long lasting as it last more than a day in clothes with just 2-3 sprays.

Mancera Cedrat Boise is reminiscent of most Aventus clones with a twist. In my opinion this bests most clones simply based on the sexy non aggressive oud that compliments the oakmoss and ambergris. Very provocative intoxicating scent that has you constantly smelling for more I can only say I wish it had a bit more presence and longevity for the intense version but regardless a hyper masculine daily that I believe borders on mass appeal.

An amazingly crafted masculine fragrance with a stunning blend of citrus, subtly sweet berries , leather and woody notes with an animalic facet. I also notice a slight patchouli and oud feel in the very end lending a subtle funk. I really love this fragrance and blend of notes. A great fruity citrusy vibe but still has a solid masculine deep woody base. Kind of reminds me of a sauvage type but I prefer this much more. Great performance

Everyone nose is different but to me this smells very similar to the more famous Aventus. Not really a dupe, there is something different.. this one comes off as a bit heavier and dense. Overally i'd say they are 80% similar, especially in the mid and drydown. Another difference is performance ; Intese CB lasts more than 8h on me and has much better price than Aventus. If you like Aventus you should definitely try this one

Damn! I was influenced to never mind Intense Cedrat Boise and because I loved the scent of the OG I looked no further. I had to make some sample choices to fill an order and wow! It's Cedrat Boise without the fruity opening and it performs much better by comparison. It's not nuclear performance. I'd say it performs as you'd expect a fragrance should. I had doubts that it would smell like the OG but thankfully it does.

Cedrat Boise Intense is a dark citrus, smoky fragrance. It does have a cigarette aspect to it, but in a fucking good way. Forget about the Aventus comparison, the idea here is different. Aventus is cleaner, sharper, brighter with sweet pineapple. CBI is dirtier, darker, smoother with tarty lemon. I own and love both. For me Aventus is a warmer weather and CBI is a colder weather fragrance.. with the usual exceptions.

First parfum with leather it’s not that strong but can tell it’s there and I like it. This parfum has a sweet smell to it which is nice, Mancera has me with this one for sure. Will edit when I wear it more. Edit: not that strong in sillage wish it was. Worked a whole shift and can notice the scent a little. But overall smell I like can def be used as a daily imo. Scent: 7.8 Longevity: 5/10

I remember sampling in a store and hating it 2 years ago. Today i had a chance to get it at a great price and i pulled the trigger on a full bottle. I have to say this is gorgeous! Literally had a big smile on my face once i sniffed it. Looks like my nose got mature enough for this kind of a scent. Lovely and manly stuff, will be a nice journey with this fregrance.

I really like the blast of citrus and black current in the beginning. It smells awesome lol. But as it dries down you get this incredible incense smell that I personally enjoy. Not sure where some people might think this is for old people because I think this is a master piece. I’ve used a 4oz bottle quickly as I love this stuff. Could be used all year if desired.

This fixes every issue I had with regular CB, this has more of an edge to it, it's less sweet and overly ripe fruity. It's not grandpa fruit bowl anymore but something more wearable for men under the age of 50. The leather comes out more and this gives it a rougher edge in the best way possible. Regular Cedrat is borderline geriatric, this one is actually sexy.

I was chased by a person 5 floors all the way to the parking lot and asked me if i wear this perfume, upon reaching close to me he said i have smelling this scent in the stairs, reception and till i found you, i did not gatekeep and gave its name coz y not. Anyway, i love this perfume, great performance, compliment getter, personality booster, absolute fire

Just bought it today after testing it yesterday on my skin. 1 spray stayed for 7 hours on my skin and it smelled amazing. This is a manly fresh leathery niche smelling fragrance. Its really good. If you like Creed and hacivat dna you will love this. Its for me an excellent choice for 75$ that i payed for a Niche smelling fragrance. Easy 10/10

Can't go wrong with this one. A well crafted Masculine scent. The wood and leather notes mixed together with the citruses is just "chef's kiss". Very versatile; office, casual setting, night out - you name it. This scent isn't built for compliments but that's not a bad thing because this makes you smell well put together. 8/10 scent.

I purchased the 4.0oz bottle from Venga, with the batch code 25A6C065F/I and is too weak and tamed that I needed to call the store to verify this batch for me and try to change it. I have the Red Tobacco Intense and even don’t been too loud as the OG, is still a nuclear performance. I hope I can return here with better news lol

On the opening, this has a strong citrus aroma that is very welcoming, similar to the EDP. However, once the dry down begins, the Intense differs from the EDP by going darker. Due to the leather and oud, the Intense version has a heavier aroma and is more suited for a more mature user than the EDP.

While I like it more the more I wear it, it got quite ambivalent or negative reactions from my family. It's intriguing, and I really like the leather note. If I'd had a better reaction from family, I might be more enthusiastic, I guess: It's the only feedback I get.
