Very good oud scent

I got this perfume yesterday, it open with oud (nepalese oud i think), then when it dries down after 30 minutes i start getting vanille, a little bit not a lot of it.
Projection are good but the longivity is high on my skin and clothes.
I think both of men and women can use this perfume and it's suitbale for using in winter only, don't try it in summer it will choke you :)

Edit:
If you want aoud perfume without roses try this one.

You get what it says

After a long time times a new comment from me. I hope you all have the Christmas well, comfortably and this year of course healthy survived. I suggest a fragrance for which you could spend your Christmas money. It's a great fit for the current season. A cozy, classy and noble fragrance.
A fragrance that I know for a long time and have tested several times. Who follows my comments and statements knows that Mancera is high in the course with me. Qualiatativ high quality and yet affordable. In addition, modern creations that totally convince me. A few of this brand will certainly wander in the next few years in my collection. So far, it is only Aoud Blue Notes, a few (such as this Aoud Vanilla) are on my watch list.

The Aoud range is extremely good. Some I've already tested: Aoud Cafe, Aoud Blue Notes, Aoud Orchid and just this one. All are extremely pleasant and also something for people who do not like this typical extreme oud smell. Especially since the scents are well balanced.
Here you get what it says: Oud and vanilla. No big nasty surprises to it. The vanilla is extremely classy and authentic. A nice cozy bourbon vanilla. Very classy and not too gourmand due to the oud counterpoint. Not much development to be seen here. Over the entire course, this beautiful noble bourbon vanilla is present. In addition oud and a pleasantly decent spice. In the base then gentle vanilla with soft woody notes. All around coherent creations without a disturbing factor for me.
Performance is also fairly rated here. Double-digit durability and a good projection as you would expect from oud and vanilla.
A very cozy stylish fragrance that fits many occasions on cold days. Even though it is quite sweet with lots of vanilla it never seems too intrusive & gourmand. Also unisex I can sign 100%. For me, he goes in no direction.

Should be tested, especially if you like notes like bourbon vanilla. Mancera is for me one of the underrated brands in the niche world, especially if you include the fair prices. From the fragrance, bottle / packaging, performance and quality simply a brand that I like to recommend

Hmmmmm, creamy woody vanilla :-)

The attack is very vanilla and yet smoky, before a slightly woody note gives me the final touch.

I remember the first time I tested it, and the very first moment I thought... "okay, I'll give the tester to my girlfriend."

Well, with this train of thought was then at the latest after the dry down finito xD

But what exactly does this statement mean?

It means the following:

The prelude is very vanilla and sweet, but a bit smoky, but already quite sweet!

But about 15 - 30 minutes later and after the Dry Down an unbelievably pleasant, elegant and very light wood note is added, which rounds off the vanilla very creamy (delicious) :-)

Afterwards the two opponents take turns again and again. Sometimes the woody note is noticeable, sometimes the vanilla and always alternating.

Is the scent of vanilla possibly quite weak in terms of silage and shelf life?

Like hell! This scent lasts for 12 hours on my skin and the perception in the room is definitely there within 6 - 8 hours.

Due to the two components, it is more likely to be wearable in autumn or spring, although you shouldn't go wrong with it in summer or winter, as it is super soft and pleasant and not too obtrusive, despite its long durability and neat sillage.

Situations: In the office, in the evening relaxed in a restaurant or even in a bar or club. Or also relaxed while chilling on the couch.

Is it intended more for the man or for the woman?

As they say, it is for the person who would like to wear it.

In my opinion it is 100% unisex although I would almost go more in the masculine direction due to the woody aroma.

Have fun testing, everyone should treat themselves to a sample

I love vanilla in fragrances...

... especially the more angular, interesting vanilla accords that are paired with animal, earthy or smoky accords. So of course is Mancera Aoud Vanilla. My absolute favorite Mancera fragrance, along with Cedrat Boise. The vanilla in Aoud Vanille, in combination with the smoky, subtle oud, is simply mystical, mysterious and enchanting for me. In my opinion, Piere Montale (perfumer) has created the perfect combination of smoky, powdery, edgy - paired with sweet, vanilla, soft. And to make the complete fragrance "perfect", a totally unisex fragrance with an excellent performance has been created here. And good quality at a fair price. For me, an absolute must-have for fall and winter or as a night-time companion. Especially for people who don't have a large collection, Aoud Vanille covers a very wide variety of tastes thanks to its diverse accents in the fragrance and will appeal to a great many people. I don't normally rate fragrances because I don't think you can divide perfumes into numbers. But fragrances that make me absolutely enthusiastic and are brilliant hits in the olfactory sense, where NOTHING can or should be improved or changed... I give such perfumes a 10/10! Just to express my enthusiasm and appreciation for the fragrance!

For me: Mancera Aoud Vanilla, a clear 10/10!

Whew, what a ride!

An Afghan acquaintance once gave me a large tin full of saffron threads. His mum regularly sends him such tins from Afghanistan anyway and he always has supplies. I had never smelled saffron in large quantities before and was fascinated how taste and smell can be so different for one aromatic substance. Saffron in rice tastes delicious. The saffron pure in the can smelled pungent, bitter and musty.
Why do I tell this? Because it was 1:1 the first impression after spraying Aoud Vanille. Except saffron I have initially perceived nothing. The but in an intensity that I was actually very briefly times nauseous. Vanilla, oud or even flowers - missing. A dust-dry, deep-dark, pungent medicinal saffron note, absolutely nothing else. Absolutely exactly how the saffron can smelled when it was opened. The fragrance has first absolutely nothing sweet or soft, let alone creamy, to counter this note.

I then wondered if my bottling might be tipped because the scent impression was so extremely different from the other comments here. After about 30 minutes, however, the Safrangemuffel then calmed down a bit. It doesn't disappear completely, but slowly the vanilla starts to fight its way to the fore a bit more and I can gradually smell it on my arm again without flinching. Over the course of about 3 hours, the scent turns into something like what most of the other commenters are smelling. Is therefore probably not on the sample, but on my skin chemistry, that the saffron makes such a spacey appearance.
The drydown is then really very nice - dry, completely unsweet, sandalwoody vanilla; overall a bit incense-like. Would the fragrance on me from the beginning at least as similar as what becomes of it after hours, he would definitely be a candidate for purchase. Interesting, "different" and absolutely not mainstream. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the patience to endure the first 30 minutes of saffron overkill every time I put it on. If you fight through it, or if you have a skin chemistry that puts saffron in its place, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful scent that I could easily detect even after showering.
