Juicy Flowers

I love Montale but Mancera is always hit or miss for me. Got a sample. Initial application was an attention-getting blast of a fruity rose/floral blend. Some hours later, it switches up on me and I love it. The white musk and ambergris become a lovely animalic funk that's subtle but still very noticeable. The sandalwood/vanilla perfects it & keeps the funk from getting out of hand AND doesn't read as too powdery. The sillage and longevity were divine...10+ hours. Depending on the # of spritzes, this can be rocked all year long, day or night. Versatility is always a great thing.

Love at first sniff!! When I first discovered Mancera I got velvet vanilla, and hated it. but got a few samples and when I sprayed juicy flowers I couldnt stop sniffing my arm. ordered it right away. 5 years later it's still my signature scent. STAYS ON YOUR SKIN ALL DAY and people are going to ask you what you have on. its fruity but not childish! pretty girl scent.

I love how dirty it smells. I'm not a fan of typical fruity or floral fragrances but this isn't one of them. It has a rich, deep musky feel to it and it makes it special for me. Its almost obnoxious, in a good way. I would say its definitely offensive. Its sour and musky like ripe fruits and old floors. Similar to Kirke

This is similar to Jardin Exclusif but the musk note once the fruitiness dries down is way more tolerable for me. It's also not a strong/heavy of a fragrance. I would say the projection is moderate but it lasts all day. It's a like for me.

At the start, you can definitely smell the fruitiness and is a gorgeous delicious scent. As it wears down I have found it leaves a deeper, muskier smell that smells great for colder days. I will love to see how this wears in summer!
