  Rise to fame and then lie down. They are eating the rents of Cedrat Boise.

  This is absolute rubbish. Nothing else describes it. It’s synthetic, soft, lacking substance and body, with not a single interesting twist. It’s one of those scents where you can’t tell what it smells like or what they were trying to achieve, other than making money. Thanks to some fanboy chasing likes and infamous reviews like Sandrina’s on Fragrantica, a few of us bit and bought (I know, a blunder, silly me). That’s enough. To give you an idea, this is a poor copy of Acqua di Gio mixed with CK One, far inferior to both (mind you, I’m talking about the originals, not the current watered-down versions). It opens with an aquatic note that dissolves into undefined, graceless citrus, sitting atop a typical white musk base that is synthetic, foul-smelling, and cheap. This is the example of a €10 perfume sold for €140 with a ‘Niche’ label. The performance is laughable: it lasts 2–3 hours on the skin (if you apply it enthusiastically) with an insignificant trail. Personally, what angers me most is falling for it again, especially after reading Sandrina’s advertorial, as there isn’t a single fragrance she praises or promotes that doesn’t turn out to be absolute rubbish. Regarding the brand, it’s the typical one that only churns out lab sub-products with a ‘Niche’ label, which a load of snobs cheer on without reason. They might launch 50 perfumes a year, each one more horrible than the last. But honestly, they can’t even make a lemon properly (I’m talking about the Lemon Line disaster). This is the last one I dignify with a trial from this house, not even if they gave me samples. It’s a complete con and a lack of respect for enthusiasts and perfumery. 2/10

  This is pure synthetic rubbish, soft and lacking any substance. There isn’t a single interesting twist; it smells indistinct and seems made solely to make money. Thanks to some fanboy seeking likes and infamous reviews like Sandrina’s on Fragrantica, many of us have been fooled (a glaring mistake, I’m a fool for thinking otherwise). To give you an idea, it’s a poor copy of Acqua di Gio mixed with CK One, far inferior to both originals. It opens aquatic, fades into graceless citrus, and ends with a nasty, cheap synthetic musk base. It’s the perfect example of a €10 perfume sold for €140 with a ‘Niche’ label. The performance is laughable: it lasts 2-3 hours on skin with an insignificant trail. What angers me most is falling for it again after reading Sandrina’s ‘advertorial’, because there isn’t a single fragrance promoted that isn’t absolute rubbish. The brand only produces laboratory by-products with a ‘Niche’ label that a bunch of snobs cheer on without reason. They launch 50 perfumes a year, all horrible, and can’t even make lemon right (like the Lemon Line disaster). This is the last one I dignify with a try, not even if they gave me samples. It’s a complete rip-off and a disrespect to enthusiasts and perfumery. 2/10

  Drakecito, don’t get angry, it might hurt you. 🙁 Starts okay, but after five minutes it becomes synthetic and generic. I don’t understand how they sell it as niche. After thirty minutes, it just smells like skin. In contrast, Feel ‘N’ Chill by Jusbox is a hit for hot days. 🙂

  Drakecito, don’t be upset, it could do you harm. 🙁 It starts off average, but after five minutes it turns synthetic and generic; I can’t understand how it’s sold as niche. After thirty minutes, it just smells like skin. Feel ‘N’ Chill by Jusbox is a better choice for hot weather. 🙂

  I don’t know where people get the idea that this smells like Cedrat Boise or Acqua di Gio. It’s a case of mistaken identity. This fragrance is far too weak to be from Mancera, and it certainly isn’t a Cedrat; remember, not every citrus is an Acqua di Gio. It’s a mediocre scent with average projection and longevity. Let’s just say it’s not one of the brand’s best. That’s all.

  I don’t know where people think it’s a Cedrat Boise or an Acqua di Gio. Think for yourselves; the perfume is very weak for what a Mancera should represent, but it’s not a Cedrat either, and remember not every citrus is an Acqua di Gio. It’s an average perfume with average sillage and aroma. Let’s just say it’s not one of Mancera’s best. That’s all.

  The first five minutes are top-notch. Then it becomes a generic citrus with no personality. It has good presence for the first hour, but afterwards the projection and trail fade over 4–5 hours without much change in the scent.

  The first five minutes are very good. Then it turns into a fairly common and undefined generic citrus blend. Good presence during the first hour. Projection and sillage reduce, remaining unchanged for 4–5 hours.

  In themselves, almost all Mancera perfumes are very good, at least the ones I’ve tried, and this is no exception. I love this aroma with that citrus floral vibe that lasts from start to finish, with woody touches that give it body. Very versatile and a bit linear without much evolution, but certainly rich and fulfilling. Its longevity on my skin is not bad, and the projection is also good. I would recommend it blindly without a doubt.

  I don’t know where the website got those notes from; there’s nothing citrusy about it. It’s super floral and sweet. It smells like an eighty-year-old lady.

  Just one detail after mentioning a couple of things… It’s a citrus aquatic scent at its finest. The fragrance is a complete hit for those who love these notes. But who decided it was unisex? Unisex? More masculine, don’t be fooled. Women looking for a unisex scent, make room! You’ve been warned.

  A couple of points… It’s a very potent aquatic citrus. The fragrance is a hit for lovers of these notes. But, who decided it was unisex? Unisex? It’s more masculine, don’t believe it. Women looking for unisex, please take heed and stay away! You’ve been warned.
