Wild Python

The imagery I got from the name Wild Python and from the design of the bottle was tight leather trousers, stilettos, red lipstick and a whip! However, after blind buying, the actual juice does not match the name or the bottle. Wild Python is indeed, a feminine white floral but I was expecting the tuberose to be louder and the fragrance to be more bombastic. Instead wrapped in the fragrance is something reminiscent of Good Girl Gone Bad or Kismet for Women or even Memo Marfa or one of its dupes - Marjan/Yaqeen. Essentially, what I'm getting is a smooth creamy but interesting white floral which has an additional facet of earthiness and greenness to it. If you were to think of the slight greenness from something like Florabotanica or the earthiness of something like Chloe Nomade and if you were to also imagine the skin like beauty of Burberry Body then you have begun to paint a picture of Wild Python. For me, this is indeed a gorgeous, alluring, feminine and beautiful scent. I feel really drawn to it but it is not the kind of sexy as I had imagined, instead it is subtle but will pull one closer to you. Of course this is not for everyone, perfumes rarely are. It's for the kind of woman who enjoys white florals, who doesn't like it screechy, who likes it smooth, creamy, sophisticated but earthy, slightly green and genteel. It doesn't scream but rather whispers "come hither." Performance - moderate sillage but good longevity. It sits closer to the skin but will remain a scent bubble around you for the entire day. Finally, it is not similar to any of my other Mancera perfumes that I own and the tuberose is also presented quite differently in Wild Python. From the comments, I thought the tuberose was going to be dated and horrible but actually it is not, I really enjoy it in this. Also, hats off to the peach, osmanthus and vanilla combination!! If you are able to get a sample, give it a try.

Just got my bottle today, screw cap version so this is just first impressions- knowing Mancera this will develop and morph into something even more fabulous as the weeks go by. This is just delightful, enveloping, seductive...completely different Tuberose to Velvet Vanilla- it’s smoother here and not so challenging, osmanthus is not as strong as Vanille Exclusive, instead it balances out the white florals. A lot of musk and vanilla woven amongst the notes, very feminine, a safe blind buy if you like your scent to make an impact. Projection and longevity are already huge and I’ve only just unwrapped this morning - it’s 8 hours later and my conservative 5 sprays are still very strong. Better than GGGB in my opinion- this is ‘meatier’ and a much thicker scent. Could be cloying as it’s so strong. Nothing like Of The Wild - that one is much softer and sweeter - but there’s a similar musk throughout the base of both. Almost has a vintage white floral vibe about it, smells expensive and luxe. This is for dinner dates and special occasions, and anywhere you want to feel glam, so in my case at work and the supermarket 😂 think I almost choked out my officemate when I came back in after spraying this - she did say it smelt very nice though. So glad to finally get my hands on this from discounters - very pleased with my blind buy 😍 UPDATE: I never thought a fragrance would cause me to be cautious 😅 but seriously this is one you DO NOT need to overspray! The 120ml is going to last me about 6 lifetimes...also, I recently visited some subtropical greenhouses full of lush jungle vegetation and flowers, and it smelled EXACTLY like Wild Python so the name now makes total sense. It encapsulates the humid, fragrant, and green wetness of a jungle so perfectly! Wild indeed

Wild Python The opening is ultra agressive with the musk, fruits and tuberose. This is a fragrance that will knock everything off your shelf and demand you only keep your attention on it. Once it settles down it smoothes out into a sexy midtone still strong but smooth with the osmanthus and slightly spicy tones from the Indian tuberose. A creamy jasmine starts it's heartbeat and a chocolate patchouli seeps in underneath with vanilla to keep this from going too sharp. The peach is succulent and makes it presence known from time to time. Final drydown a bit tame, but acceptable if you are into white musk. Personally it be perfection if they had dared to use a warmer musk than a clean laundry musk as the very final drydown. There is distinctly two musks at play - the opening (like Katie Perry Indi- and the laundry white musk for the end.) Easily unisex due to it's heavy musk presence. Sillage is enormous then settles down to arm's length. Longevity average. Snicker at the name behind it's back, but once confronted it will take over. A dominant white floral. About damn time someone makes a fragrance that grabs you by the throat. Candy girls go home. This is for a maneater. Bravo Mancera. Find it at Luckyscent, Beverly Hills Perfumary and official Mancera outlets.

Needed some time to get used to it. I love flowers very much but this: It’s a very strong scent that radiates. In the beginning it smells pissy. Like a public toilet.. but when it dries down, it smells like FLOWERRSS. And not a bouquet of flowers, but like a container with flowers - and someone throw you in this container and you trying to get out to have some air. It was hate-love-hate-love relationship at the beginning. I knew I had to get through the beginning, and when I did it smells so so wonderful. If you not overspray you will smell the beauty of this flowery Mancera. Again it is well done. The quality is great The silage is BIZARRE and out of this world. Never experienced such longevity and silage. I am used to Mancera but this one is extreme. 1 spray only, lasts all day on my skin. I always wanted a good alternative for Poeme Lancôme (which gave me headaches, so I couldn’t wear it). This python has more depth and intensity, but suprisingly enough doesn’t give me headaches! I like it, it’s pleasant when not overspray. I think this is a very good summer scent. 9/10

After seeing comparisons to good girl gone bad and knowing that I liked most notes in this perfume plus good girl gone bad's scent I took a risk and blind bought this. Even though I'm very happy with my purchase I don't think this is a blind buy safe fragrance. Opening feels very sharp and green to me (somehow fits the name and bottle design I think only the beginning tho after that there's nothing wild or python like) then it turns into a beautiful floral scent. Performance is sooo good which makes me happy since one thing I don't like about the Kilian's perfume is its weak performance for the price. 120ml bottle with great sillage and longevity makes it worth the price imo. Btw I think Wild python is more unisex at the beginning then leans more feminine after floral notes settle. Good girl gone bad on the other hand is straight up female scent from start to finish. Anyways this perfume might end up being my second signature scent glad that I got this.
