To Be My.Avatar for Man

This fragrance is so high-quality for the price. I'm not a big fan of most fragrances from Mancera but this fragrance reminds me a lot of Mancera Instant Crush. Tbh I prefer this fragrance to Instant Crush. I have a 10ml sample of Instant Crush and 40ml bottle of this stuff and I find this one a lot more interesting. It is very smooth, not overly synthetic or cloying surprisingly considering the cheap price of this fragrance. To me, I feel like it takes the powdery nature from City of Stars by Louis Vuitton, mixed in with the sweetness, woodiness, and general DNA from Instant Crush and then if you through in the boozy and salty DNA from Invictus Intense (A discontinued fragrance). The notes are so well blended it's hard to point at one and say which one's the most prominent which normally I strongly dislike in fragrances but this fragrance gets an exception as the smoothness of the notes together gives the fragrance a mystic amethyst-y sort of smell. I really like this scent altogether. I was shocked when I smelt this and the person at the fragrance shop said it was a Police fragrance. I would've believed them if they said it was some Louis Vuitton I hadn't smelt or one of those many purple Dior Private Blend scents. It's definitely not much of a mature scent it leans a lot more youthful if that matters to you which I don't think it should. If you like well-blended sweet fragrances that are not headache-inducing and have a note that balances all the sweetness out I'd say you'd really like this stuff. I feel the salt balances out the sweetness the best to my nose anyway. To think you can pick this up for 10 euros is crazy to me tbh. But with all the praise I'm giving the price does come into play with the performance and longevity. Now it's not bad performance or longevity but it's a bit lackluster as you'd expect. A few extra sprays and then you'd be compensated for the performance which I don't mind much. The longevity is 4-5 hours I'd say which is good for the price but for such a mythical-smelling fragrance it's a small bit disappointing. Overall I would pick this up immediately especially since this fragrance is limited edition. I know it sounds weird but it smells like how bright purple amethyst would smell to me but idk I could be trippin. 9.5/10 Scent 9/10 Bottle 10/10 Price 6.75/10 Projection 6/10 Longevity

got this as a gift and love it for the colder months. id always thought the opening smelled of mangos, but i must say i certainly dont have the most sophisticated nose. lasts for days on clothes but much less on skin and doesnt have great projection.

fcking amazing, one of the best smelling winter fragrance

This rating for this scent for the price is pretty spot on. Even if it was free I probably wouldn't rate it higher. I bought because the bottle is awesome, metal atomiser, metal bottle, pressurised and beautiful flaked pearlescent colour. I also bought because it was the highest rated fragrance in the to be line. From first spray I was pleasantly surprised to find it smelt like Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum and slightly like SWY Intensley. For the price this is a no brainer however its clearly not as good as Azzaro. It smells a bit cheap, not as bad as some of my clone fragrances but not great either. Because I was impressed I bought to be and born to shine.

It's an okay fragrance. I got the 40ml version for my birthday. It has a seductive vibe to it. Something you would wear on a date night. Imagine a Bvlgari Man in Black made more fun and fruity. Don't know if I would wear it anywhere else, or if it's for older guys though. Appeals to the teenage-early twenties guys. The sillage isn't great. I think it's subtle, but can be fixed with overspraying. After 2 full sprays, I could smell the fragrance even 6 hours after spraying. So that's that.
