Very helpful Review
I stink - therefore I am!
Not another rose-oud combo from Mancera or Montale… Of course, that was my first thought. And shortly after: what… the… luckily, another rose-oud combo from Mancera!
On paper, its recipe for success is quite simple and exactly to my taste. You combine an extremely high-quality rose-oud bouquet, mostly leave out the Mancera/Montale hairspray aesthetic, and - very, very, very important! - mix in a hefty portion of white, creamy lipstick iris à la “Dior Homme Intense” or Guerlain’s “Iris Ganache.” And there you have it, a monster before my personal gentlemen! Creamy, light chocolate meets the usual oriental killer combo, where I really wouldn’t have believed that one of its reincarnations could flash me like this again. But “Black Prestigium” does it! A true Night Driving Avenger. Deep black and powerful. Light purple lights on. Minimal leather vibes. Never boring, always classy. Plays three leagues above its price. Oud perfectly balanced. A scent that thumps and has bass! It makes your mouth water - and not because I have allergies at this time of year! A powerhouse prowler. Always sultry, slightly dirty, just the right amount of not washed for a while. Incredibly sexy. A perfume like a synthwave slasher! At the very beginning, it’s minimally piercing and the Mancera synthetic notes don’t completely disappear even here - but that’s really brief and gives only marginal deductions. It shouldn’t be too round and soft anyway. Otherwise: hit exactly my G(eschmacks)-point! He's a Maniac. Maaniac. Maaaniac!
Bottle: I don’t even mind this (always the same) bottle for this scent…
Sillage: just before being overbearing - but it knows exactly when to stop…
Longevity: >10 hours is already nice
Conclusion: I’ll keep it short and sweet: this is the best scent Mancera has ever released for me. And it’s a rose-oud combo! Holy moly! But indeed (by far) not just that. Mancera Homme Eternal. “Black Prestigium” plays in my personal top tier!

The enthusiasm is palpable - and now I want to try it, even though a long-lasting rose-oud scent is pretty much the last thing I need. 😆
