Velvety soft rose petals blended with citrus and sweet fruits create a light fresh effect. That fruity sweetness reminds me of a faint hint of tuti-frutti gum and combined with the rose I feel the name is a mistake; for me this should be called ‘So rose’. I see it as more feminine than unisex. The downside is that its fruity sweetness smells like many other perfumes (such as CK Women EDT Juicy Flowers Erba Pura) but as a rose lover I loved it from the moment I tried the decant and couldn’t resist buying the 120 ml bottle.
Excellent aroma with great longevity. There is nothing quite like it.
Excellent aroma with great longevity. Nothing compares to it.
So Blue is floral and fruity, reminding me of the Pleasures perfume. It has a strong opening; on my skin it lasts about six hours before becoming subtle, though it lingers a bit longer on clothing. As far as I understand, it is unisex, although in my opinion, this floral scent leans more towards the feminine side.
I’d describe it broadly as fruity-floral. The performance is excellent, lasting around eight hours on the skin. It is unisex with a feminine tendency, containing rose and fruits that are well worth exploring. If you are a man who prefers to smell distinctly masculine, this isn’t for you. However, if you are a man or a woman who enjoys fruity notes with sweet roses, or simply love the note of canned peach, you will probably adore it.
I tested it with decants of four Mancera fragrances gifted by a friend: Aoud Lemon Mint, Cedrat Boise, Lemon Line, and the one that captivated me most was So Blue. I agree with the previous review: although it is unisex, it leans distinctly towards feminine due to the aquatic notes, rose, musk, and peach. On my skin, it has had exceptional performance. I haven’t been so fascinated by a fragrance with such a strong urge to add it to my wishlist for this summer season.
I perceive it as very unisex, with rose, aquatic, and musk notes, and among the fruity ones, I distinctly detect the peach that lingers throughout. It is a very good option for summer, though too feminine for my taste. In the end, I sold this fragrance because it became too feminine and simple; I didn’t want to keep something I wouldn’t wear.
