Lemon Line

I am huge fan of Mancera fragrances, but I am not really a fan of the citrus-aromatic, freshie type scents. They're okay, but I don't own many because I don't wear them often enough. Well, I managed to finally put my nose on Lemon Line and shocked for two reasons: 1) how incredibly different it is from most of Mancera's lineup - even the non-oud scents and 2) just how I much I love this one; it's my new go-to citrus-aromatic for the warm Spring/Summer days. We're all familiar with the citrus-aromatic genre so I'm not going to go into great detail describing this fragrance other than to say I pickup on lots of lemon, a touch of lime, a freshly spiced aromatic vibe that is somewhat green and with vague hints of floral tones in the background. My fear with this fragrance were that the citrus notes would be overpowering (they are loud and proud in the opening), the lavender would be too aggressive and the scent would shit-the-bed and disappear in 2-3 hours. Instead, everything in this citrus-aromatic strikes the right balance and it performs extremely well for a citrus-aromatic. Performance is stellar in that Lemon Line lasts a solid 7-8 hours on my skin and projects slightly above average on my skin, which is great for this type of scent. Moreover, while I truly enjoy the citrus-aromatic top and heart phases,I most enjoy the drydown when the musky-woody vibe ramps up and the citrus-aromatic tones fade into the background. If you wanna know what this smells like then imagine mixing a bottle of Chanel Allure Edition Blanche with C.O. Bigelow Lemon No. 1999 and tossing in touch of that Mancera musky woody DNA...and ramp-up the quality. Overall, a very fine citrus-aromatic that you should try if you're into this kind of fragrances. Peace! Update: although I have never tried to layer this one with Cedrat Boise (never thought of it) I'll give it a try as mentioned above. Moreover, I layer this with Kumkat Wood and the Lemon-Woody combo makes a much better fragrance IMO.

This is an incredible citrus fragrance, and by far the most powerful one I've smelled. It starts off with a very realistic tart lemon with hints of green bergamot and orange. As it dries down, it ends up smelling like lemon candy but not in a cloying or cheap way, but rather very luxuriously done (though with a bit of sweetness that increases the longer you wear this). The fragrance really reminds me of Anglia Spiced Limes but on steroids. It remains lemon-dominant for the duration of the fragrance (incredible for any citrus fragrance), but gets more of the oakmoss, lavender, and white musk notes overtime, especially after about 5 hours. It's extremely strong in the opening with huge sillage and projection, while sillage becomes moderate after 3 hours but leaning on the strong side. This itself is a feat for a lemon-based fragrance to have such great sillage. Longevity is also insanely beastmode! In fact I wore this and it lasted for over 12 hours on my skin. I then went to sleep, woke up and took a shower, and put on another shirt. And I was shocked to notice I could still smell it on my new shirt (I had originally sprayed just two sprays on my neck). The fragrance definitely leans masculine. Overall, this is a really fantastic lemon offering - possibly the best lemon fragrance for men out there (barring Profumum Roma Acqua Viva, however that is a really pricey niche fragrance). It's lemon done in a really classy and gentleman-like way; I could wear this for regular days but I think it would work best when dressing up and in the evening. This is one of my top 5 fragrances of all time. 5/5

🍊 🍋 🍬 Mancera lemon line: A Citrus Candy fragrance with a hint of lavender? 🤔 🧐 And NO this dose not “straight up smell like a lemon” as some Youtuber said. There’s definitely other sweet citrus’s aside then the main player which is lemon, in this fragrance. If this was only a lemon dominant fragrance it would be off putting and probably make you smell sour or like a cleaning product. Anyone who is interested you don’t have to worry this fragrance is sweet and citrusy. Also This fragrance lasts for HOURS!! no joke I sprayed and tested this on my wrist and in the 13th hour I can smell this scent. That's when I decided to purchase a full bottle after testing my 5ml sample and finishing it. Many people say this smells strictly like a lemon that’s not true at all. This fragrance smells like a sweet lemon candy or lemon drop nothing medicinal like Halls's lemon drops. However, the Mancera lemon line is a sweet/tart-smelling fragrance. To my nose, I get a huge dose of lemon enveloped with Kumquat, and on the dry down once this fragrance settles the lavender comes through although it’s subtle you can still pick it up. I get a lot of compliments people say this is very alluring especially on hot humid days here in NYC. This fragrance does the job and you don’t have to spray a lot only a maximum of 3-5 sprays will get the job done. Bottom line rating: 11/10 all around and this fragrance smells like sweet lemon candy with orange citruses and lavender.

This is a great summer fragrance, better than a lot of 'fresh' fragrances. The smell is not that of lemon sweets as others have said, its not that sweet but rather more aromatic. Many people I think, confuse the smell of a fresh cut lemon to the taste of a lemon. The smell is aromatic and slightly sweet, the taste is tart and sharp. Many fragrances have the tart/sharp aspect when trying to represent the citrus but I don't think thats a realistic smell of lemon. This on the other hand does have the SMELL of a freshly cut lemon, very refreshing and bright with a slight touch of sweetness. The lavender and other notes make it interesting and slighly classy but it can still be worn casually. This fragrance is simple but in the very best of ways. My wife and other women I've asked really like this over something like Aventus. Reality is that frags like Aventus get more compliments/attention from dudes. Most women I know prefer a fresh and clean smell. It's also long lasting and quite strong. I got it for £60, unbelivable value. I said it's a great summer frag above but it's strong enough for other seasons.

Does what it says on the tin. Lemon from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoy this as it's the longest lasting lemon scent I've found and it smells incredible. I've seen people mention cleaning products or lemon candy. To me, Lemon Line is the scent of peeling back the skin of a sweet meyer lemon and forcing the membranes within the skin to release their heady, herbaceous oils. The oakmoss and floral bouquet of zingy geranium, aromatic lavender and soft jasmine really amplify the sweet, herbal qualities of the winter lemon variety. Projection is soft after a few minutes of wear, but it lasts for a good 4-6 hours - even longer on clothes. The two fragrances I find this most closely resembles are Dior's Eau Sauvage Cologne (2015) and Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien Eau de Parfum. The Dior undoubtedly lasts the longest, but it becomes a lot less lemony and much more woody/musky as it dries down. I don't understand the comparisons to Dior Homme Cologne. That one is all about Neroli and sugary Sprite to my nose.
