Personal Top 10 Best Mancera 38:53

Omar's Ultimate Mancera Diary Notes - Couldn't put the notes for all of them due to character limit so I cut out my least favourite from the brand!

Cedrat Boise 03:14
Aventus ‘style’ Perfumery, with citrus, black currant and leather. Sharp, fruity, fresh, smoky & woody. More synthetic than Aventus but garners more compliments in my experience (especially from women)

Cedrat Boise Intense 04:16
The original with a smoother blend and a longer lasting handsome woodiness from utilising the brands ‘Oud’ accord

Aoud Lemon Mint 05:16
Harsh Lemon ‘hard candy’ opening that dries down better to a sharp woody citrus that lasts 14 hours, synthetic but easy to wear in summer

Instant Crush 06:00
Baccarat Rouge 540 ‘Style’ of loud aroma chemical sweet Perfumery, with more ‘density’ added with creamy florals, lots of vanilla. Leans slightly to the feminine side from unisex

Red Tobacco 06:48
Extreme brashness in the opening with spices and Tobacco. 24 hours longevity, the more relaxed warmth of the spices and vanilla Oud combo come out much later in the dry down and is perfect. A tricky scent to wear, packs a punch when utilised well (definitely a head turner)

Aoud Vanille 07:52
Simple woods and vanilla, linear and soft projection, underwhelming

Black gold 09:10
Rose woody lavender, clean, sweet and aquatic dry down, a ‘fresh out the shower’ scent that approaches things differently while still staying versatile!

Black vanilla 11:00
Very sweet gorgeous opening, unisex, coconut in the opening, floral, black Orchid vibes, dry down reminds me of aoud Vanille, more floral feminine on dry down

Coco Violet 11:41
Chocolate greedy but easier to wear, not as extreme in sweetness or gourmand aspects

Black line 14:02
Al Haramain Excellent niche-ified, vanilla, leather, fruit, Intense, sweet, Middle Eastern vibe, nicely done, unisex, Intense vanilla dry down

Amber fever 14:38
Similar to instant Crush, more Middle Eastern version

Aoud Exclusif 15:15
Gorgeous! Animalic opening. Sharp, spicy Oud, nice saffron note, signature material, beast performer, cold weather signature, some sweetness on dry down.

Melody of the sun 17:04
Natural, citrus, tea, nice musk, reminds me of ADP summer scents, Limited performance

Royal Vanilla 18:58
Opening is elegant! Nice Amber vanilla, smoothest out of all vanilla selection, nice Patchouli addition, sweetness with nuance

Saharian Wind 19:30
Strong Amber Scent, similar to Issey Miyake Noir Ambre, Middle Eastern incense & spices vibe

Sicily 20:34
Natural photorealistic mandarin with a nice supporting peach & pineapple, smells like a ADP release, ok performing summer freshie with a white floral & musk dry down, unisex slight feminine lean

Silver Blue 21:20
Nothing like the name, a sweet woody Amber fragrance, more toned down & simplistic Saharian Wind, sexy. Nice minimal caramel note in opening. Sort of like D&G The One EDP and JPG Scandal had a baby, but no spiciness here.

Hindu Kush 24:36
Great opening, terrible dry down, has a nice amber-y oriental incense opening, red tobacco, then the dry down becomes an awkward mix of ‘vegetal’ green with sweetness, annoyingly sharp and poorly blended imo.

Jardin Exclusif 25:16
Nice fruit cocktail, especially apple, mixed with jasmine, aquatic/ozonic nuances and clean musk, nicely done but can’t see a man wearing this.

Kumkat Wood 26:46
A grapefruit Chanel Edition Blanche? Better performance too! Great summer scent! Gets the perfect balance between smelling natural but still performing.

Aoud blue notes 29:40
Interesting signature concept for an overall ‘casual’ sweet signature, smells like one Million in the opening with ‘blue’ freshness added in, predominantly a tonka leather scent

Aoud cafe 30:24
Great Masculine choice for those who enjoy coffee! Smells like an espresso with sugar added in, great woody vanilla dry down

Precious Oud 32:30
Delicious scent! Mancera’s best gourmand? Booze and tiramisu scent with a Tonka woody base, Seductive, well balanced, unique. A replacement for discontinued CH men prive?

Sand Aoud 33:41
Really sexy spicy Oud scent. I understand the sand name, has a ‘dry earthy’ effect to this fragrance, really unique.

Holidays 34:49
Really sexy! For a woman. Gorgeous peach and coconut note in opening, ‘sun tan lotion’ effect with a white floral musk dry down, great performance especially for a summer scent.

Aoud Violet 35:49
Surprised me! Smells masculine and strange in a good way, a floral aquatic with a warm amber finish, smells more ‘blue’ than you would expect, has a ‘hazy’ effect to it from spices

Gold Aoud 38:11
Honeyed rose & Oud, likely coming from Bulgarian rose Otto, great quality to it, leans on feminine side, more bright, clean, woody on dry down

great video man, super helpful. i picked up aoud violet after watching this and really enjoy it, great day to day scent that makes me feel like i'm shower fresh and clean all day, definite winner

[drmohamedtaha]

As a newbie to the frag community id really appreciate this format of trying a bulk of a houses scents and rating them .. helps me organize my thoughts as it feels overwhelming exploring a house when you feel like your behind on so many great scents from each house .. and its always confusing trying to figure out which one i should try next .. but with this format i will at least have heard of them all ..

[BertilWAF]

man Omar is really just pumping high quality content out, thanks!

[sumanth]

That Black Gold description was absolutely spot on!

[dariushfard]

One of the best videos about fragrances i have ever seen

[Zakitop]

And let's not forget the effort put by the creator of the video. Big thumbs up man !

[friedokra]

Im buying a testing set of the best sounding ones to me based off of your review here. Excellent content, descriptive, articulate, professional, genuine and very helpful. Thank you for this video!

[Frank-DuxVanDamme]

Finally someone who speak language I understand. Most of frag reviews they start to talk about heavy chemistry, ingredients I'll never smell on their own and left me confused. One frag they make 20 min video. Review like this one say all needed to be said.

Best fragrance youtuber in the game no cap 💯 Keep it up Omar

[ilovefragrances]

I dig your sense of humor. Doesn’t come out often but when it does it’s hilarious.

[ohfour-seven]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together, I'm sure it was a lot of work and it's much appreciated. I've saved the video for future reference and am definitely interested in picking up Saharian Wind. Again, many thanks!

[thacarter]

Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video and especially to have all of these fragrances on you from mancera.

You are that dude! I’ve wondered about Mancera’s fragrances and you did them all. I think I’ll be checking out Kumkat Woods for sure and possibly black gold. Thank you for this ✊🏾✊🏾

[grgagabric]

Absolutely love this kind of video. This helped me big time as I was just in the store the other day wanting to explore Mancera and saw a huge wall of fragrances not knowing where to start. Keep up the great work

[brandfordaddy]

Could you do a montale version of this same concept? With this video, I have a clear guide into mancera purchases. It's a cost effective way of getting perfumes. Thanks man

[nicolashill]

Coming home from school and seeing you posted a new video makes my day
