Black Gold Mancera 2017

Fresh start. I can smell the lavender a little. Reminds me subtly of Naxos but much more complex and pungent. Over time, the fragrance becomes a little more floral and softer in my nose. Overall, I think it's a great fragrance that should probably appeal to most people. By no means unique but good enough to hold its own in the fragrance landscape.
I can understand the barbershop associations. With a lot of imagination, many shaving/grooming products smell similar. But this fact is probably due to the "most people like it" factor.
