Melody Of The Sun

This is probably my favorite summer Mancera. It's just so uplifting, bright, sunny and automatically puts me in a good mood. This longevity is good for a freshie, projection is moderate and it's scent trail although not monstrous by any means is quite pleasant. Here's the thing about complaints about longevity, sometimes a house's reputation can work against them. Yes this house is known for ridiculous longevity and projection, but in context those fragrances are usually Oud based, or sweet bombs or tobacco/booze etc.., of course they are going to last more than a citrus based scent. For a freshie you can't expect 10+ hours longevity. On my skin with MOTS I get around 4-6 hours and it works best in heat (hot summer days). Back to the scent: this is in the same scent profile family as NR bleu noir EDP, so if you like that cologne you will probably like this one (with much better performance). But wereas bleu noir is heavier on musk base, this is more airy and citrus based. I am NOT saying they smell the same, just in the same family. They are like 3rd cousin, and vetiver senuel is like a 5th cousin. As far as gender, I would consider this a down the middle unisex fragrance, any gender can use and enjoy. I liked Sicily but that came across as more feminine to my nose and this is definitely more masculine than that fragrance. If you like non-sharp citruses that are airy with some woods and a tad bit of fruit, get a decant a sample it, you might just pick up a bottle.

ONE (1) (UNO) SPRAY (first spray ever) on my neck and chest area, wore this for 12 hours, came back after being out for the entire day and went for a shower and came out still smelling it (and this was after me sweating buckets the whole day in hot, humid weather) and I’m a very intense scrubber too in the shower as I have germaphobia. And it’s not an intimate projection either as my family could still smell it after I came back and asked and they were sitting like an arms length away. Again, ONE SPRAY. This perfume is so criminally underrated, it smells great for all occasions as it is not overbearing and I love it. I was wearing another perfume on my wrist and in comparison, that had long faded within 8 hours and I even sprayed twice.

I really like this one, i jus like herbal and citrusy fregrences in general but this is so much better than the rest, and it lasts quite long 6-8 hours (the hotter the weather it lasts and performs better) i love how it opens up with refreshing lemon and lavender and in few hours settles down to very herbal and green middle that lasts round 2-3 hours on me and closes down with dry light musk 8/10 One of the best summer fregrences

First wear tonight and I really enjoy it. Fresh, clean lemon scent. My longevity was outstanding but projection wasn't great. It's still a pretty strong skin scent 8 hours later. The closest thing I can compare this to is Soleil d'Italie. Both are unisex to me. But if Soleil d'Italie leans a tad masculine, MOTS leans just a bit feminine. It's a mood lifter for sure. Great for warm spring and summer days.

This is a really good fragrance for a calm spring/summer day. Calm in the sense that it’s not high stimulation, you don’t need need to impress people, and just a refreshing blend of citrus and tea and all that good stuff. Personally I can’t stand super strong citrus scents for summer, so a nice blended citrus is something I can really appreciate, so this one especially stands out to me. Just really nice.

Lemon, Tea, Grapefruit, and Lavender are the main notes I get from this beauty! This is a clean, fresh, citrus in the dry down with a little more fruitiness in the opening. It gives JHAG Pear Inc vibes but with lavender and less pear. I finally found a perfume where the lavender shines without a vanilla weighing it down! If you like JHAG, Byredo Bal D’Afrique, & Light Blue, give this a try!

If you want a longer lasting Wulong Cha by Nishane with the same quality ingredients for half the price, get this NOW. if you want a $20 rack store scent that smells like both, go for 78 Vintage Green by Banana Republic. Mancera is my pick out of all three...price-for-value, bottle design, longevity/sillage and the amount of juice you get. 9.5/10....Spring and Summer only

Wow, I wasn’t expecting this! The opening is truly amazing. The combination of green tea and lemon is fantastic, reminiscent of Lipton Ice Tea Lemon in a bottle. It’s very refreshing and energizing. This fragrance is a hidden gem. It’s perfect for any weather and is a great unisex option, especially if you enjoy tea and citrus scents. I highly recommend this one.

A lot of the reviews almost deterred me from trying this. I am glad I bought the decant. It is beautiful. The only way I can describe it is how a lazy summer Sunday may feel. Where you sit in bed with the window open as the breeze blows through. probably my favorite scent that I have tried so far. 10/10

Wulong Cha's distant cousin. They don't really smell the same, just the same idea of citrus, tea, and musk. This is more subtle in everything that Wulong Cha offers. Think of Melody of The Sun as an acoustic guitar, while Wulong Cha is a pipa, and they're both playing Aqueous Transmission by Incubus.

very sweet & silky, brilliant summer fragrance citrus notes really come through on initial spray from the grapefruit & lemon combo alike skipcon says the most prominent note being blackcurrent for the rest of the day, a fragrance for daytime in beer gardens etc & easily could be bought by both sexes

Very fresh, and wearable for both men and women. Starts with lemon and grapefruit, and hints of tea afterwards. Jasmine tea and lavender blended so well that this is absolutely fantastic. I love the name Melody of the Sun too, it really is a bright perfume. My husband loves this too

Perfectly unisex fragrance, the opening leans male but then it is more feminine and after it dries it is perfectly unisex in my opinion. Even though some say its way too feminine, the scent is perfect in my opinion, it is super well blended although I wish it wouldve lasted longer.

This stuff is so good. I never have been a fan of Wu Long Cha as it is way too bitter and soapy for me, but this stuff takes that and makes it sweeter and way less bitter. Honestly might be one of my favorite summer scents ever. Longevity is alright but overall I'd give this a 9/10

Just to mention that this is nothing like Oligarch or Wulong Cha at all. Ya, can see the comparison to vetiver sensual but not super close. In the beginning it is somehow sweeter with less vetiver, but dry down is different.

I loooove this perfume!its soothing, fresh, its screams summer. Doesn't have the sunscreen smell. When I received my bottle I was so surprised in a good way. everyone should own this bottle.

I love it soooooo much, great Blanc between green tea and Citrus, with many feminine notes ( black Currant, Pear , Jasmine, Musk and Amber) anther great fragrance from Mancera Thank you 😊

Smells absolutely lovely. Fresh and summery- it's like if the bath and bodyworks orange + ginger scent got a major reupgrade. It smells like a girl I'd want to be friends with.

More balanced and complex citrus. Perfect summer scent for me, citrus, aromatic, warm-weather geared without being blue. Shame it doesn't last long or project much.

to me it smells like lemon line + under the lemon tree + a touch of mixed emotions
