After spending a week at work with this, heres my review: Opening is a clean, powdery mass appealing blue fragrance, very similar to BDC edp. About 45 mins in the fragrance morphs into an intoxicating fresh woody vanilla fragrance with subtle fruits. Absolutely delicious dry down. Lasts eternal on clothes. About 10 hours on skin. 8 working hours. I found that that after the first 1.5 hours in is when this fragrance begins to shine. The opening is wicked loud and room filling, easy on the trigger with this one. 2-3 sprays max. I find that people will either love it or hate it. Has made one coworker nauseous from smelling it, another asked me where he could buy it. Overall, i really enjoy this fragrance but i do not think this is office/movie dates safe. Good for going out or social events. Its a blue fragrance but with a twist and i enjoy it. I will be buying a bottle as I do not own. Any blue fragrances similar to this. You will receive compliments if that’s what you’re looking for. Hard sample first. Scent 9/10 Longevity 8.5/10 Projection 8/10 Overall 8.5/10

The initial opening is a salty marine scent with some sweet undertones from the Amber note. 15 Min - I am still getting some of the salty marine notes, but i am also getting more of the sweetness from the Amber and Vanilla notes. 30 Min - I am starting to pick up on the fruity notes but still getting some of that salty Marine scent. I am also starting to pick up on the woody notes. 60 Min - I am getting a slightly sweet woody scent profile along with some soft Musk and a tinge of earthiness. Dry Down: The dry down of this fragrance is a marine and woody scent with a soft musky undertone and a slight earthiness. Performance: Projection of this fragrance is OK with the frangrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for almost 2 hours. The sillage is also OK with a scent trail of about 2+ feet for about 2 hours. Longevity is OK with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 5 to 6 hours, but becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours.

This might honestly be my favorite blue shower gel style fragrance on the market just after 2 wears! This opens with that amazing salty, marine, citrus thing a la PDM Percival. As it dries down you begin to get a very bright, juicy mango that lives throughout the rest of the fragrances life, it beautifully mixes with the aromatics and the salt to give this fruity round gummy candy type thing after the first couple hours. Truly amazing and very impressive for a brand so small! I think i'll end up getting a full size bottle of this once i'm done with my 10ml of it! Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 SSB: HARD Sample

I've never smelled Percival so I can't speak to the similarities there but to me, this is like a super dose of Another 13. I got a sample spray at Perfumology when looking for unique summery scents. I only get the faintest, smallest hint of any marine notes or salinity. The super strong, eternal smell is a woody skin scent but with the chemical/artificial cloud like Another 13. The only note they have in common is moss and some variations of "amber" so maybe that's the similarity I'm getting. I really enjoy this and it's wildly strong and long-lasting but it's nothing like what was expected or the notes listed for me. I wore this to a concert (4 sprays from my sample) and felt bad since it was so strong I was worried I was choking out the people around me because I think this could be really polarizing and headache inducing.

dry down is an aquatic instant crush by mancera. due to the moss, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, bergamont, and amber notes shared between the two. the opening is a fresh, very marine-citrus with a salty top note that really brings out the sharpness in the fruits. the mid peaks through woody-tropical with a noticeable amber staying prevalent throughout the life of the fragrance. A nice musky sandalwood remains at the end. very causal wear.
