So Blue

I have been searching for a scent that's been in my mind for a while. A rose scent that isnt sweet or candied or gothic. Aquatic but no peony. Something more unisex and citrusy. A fruity floral that cant be found on any designer rack. Enter Mancera So Blue. This is the ultimate unisex aquatic rose scent. So Blue opens with fresh watery rose petals and citrus. I smell bergamot and orange. The opening is very fresh and leans feminine like a clean shampoo. As it dries down, you start to get that bit of an edge from patchouli. The feminine lean tips back towards unisex. It gets a little more salty like there's a touch of ocean water nearby. The heart is full of water, roses, and enough patchouli to keep it unisex and unsweetened yet it never turns sour. Moving my wrists sends a little waft of rosewater and bergamot into the air. Sticking my nose close to the skin gives me touches of violet and sandalwood. Everything is clean and bright without getting too scratchy or harsh to the nose. Longevity is good. 10 hrs later, I can still smell it on my arm when I hold my nose to it. The scent projects for several hours before sitting close to the body through the dry down. Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for. It can be hard to find a rose that isn't "FLORAL," i.e. mixed with peony, jasmine, geranium, etc etc. This is a perfectly balanced aquatic rose suitable for men and women, great for hot weather, workplace friendly.

This is by far my favorite perfume in my collection, it’s sweet and fruity without being too feminine but also has that slight citrus smell at times as well as the occasion whiff of a river along a garden. I don’t get so much of an ocean scent from this, however, I would say it’s great in tropical and warmer climates. It was my first bottle after probably around a hundred samples and after having it for a year it’s aged very nicely. Theres a slight soapy aspect to it in the opening now but fades quickly into a soft background scent to the main characteristics mentioned. After about one year the smell has just gotten better and now I get around one to two compliments from both women and men on the days I wear it. The longevity is incredible, I put it on at 6 and I can still smell it on me when I go to practice at 3. One thing I love about this that I haven’t found in a lot of other fragrances is the scent gets stronger when you sweat, so it smells perfectly present during practice and is still prominent at 6 when we finish. Sillage is very good starting off at around five feet for the first few hours then going down to around 3 or 4 which is perfect for the classroom. I use around 6 sprays for this performance and I love the atomizer. Would def recommend to my friends if I didn’t want to gatekeep my signature.

didnt like it at first....it felt like too designer like, and familiar.its very simple and aromatic summer oceanic and rose based scent, but third time it was a charm....i think i like it for the simplicity in summers.boy it lasts a lot...bottle is gorgeous...both genders can wear it...but it feels like upscale designer release,has some citrus and fruits up top....not for very mature noses...they will dismiss it in a second...but it will be a crowd pleasure for sure.cant believe there is no review on this lil gem yet...should i buy it and review it?i think so ;) longevity&projection:8 smell:8.5 versatility: 7 (summer/casual) compliments: 8 overall: 8/10 mancera is my most favorite house at this point... cant get better value than their fragrances, but always try before you buy, some of them may not work for you, acquired taste :)

Love the freshly start, definitely smell beach in this one. Very elegant subtile and soft scent, for everyday use. Office friendly not offensive at all! Unisex. To me a good niche worthy perfume. I do smell a bit Jardin Exclusif in this, which I like more. Not sure which note it is, definitely less salty and less sharp than JE. Try before buy! @coolephelps said aoud lemon mint is better, well that’s a totally different scent. Cannot even compare them, they’re so different. If you have no idea how they’re smelling, I would say ignore the comment. So blue is unisex, fresh, for warmer seasons and light to wear, while aoud lemon mint is heavy masculine scent more for the colder seasons. Which is better depends on your preferences. As a woman I like So Blue a lot more. It reminds me of the beach 8/10

So Blue never goes unnoticed. From the very first seconds, it radiates a vibrant, luminous energy, blending fruity and floral notes over a clean musky base. The combination of rose and violet gives it a true signature: an elegant, slightly powdery touch that remains thoroughly modern and balanced. What struck me most was its immediate effect. Just minutes after testing it on my hand, I received several spontaneous compliments at the gym proof that it draws attention effortlessly without ever trying too hard. It strikes a brilliant contrast between freshness and depth, offering fantastic longevity for a summer scent. A captivating, well-tailored fragrance that easily earns praise.
