Definition of Beast Mode

I had a 2019 formulation and this is by far the strongest and the loudest fragrance I owned. With Black to Black 1 spray goes a long way. I only apply it on my neck because it projects and projects and can be too strong. It's a room filler. If you wanna assert your dominance and be the loudest in the room, this is your weapon, it will cut through all other fragrances. Absolute beast mode.

As for the scent its rose dominant scent and it will continue that way for the first 3-4 hour mark until the oud and other darker notes comes to play.

Eventually had it let it go because it was almost too strong for my own sake.

Not everyone's cup of tea, sample first.

Tasty rose-oud

Well to me this is Turkish delight all over, with some rose water on the side. Not that it's gourmand, but there's a middle eastern vibe to it that is just tasty.

The opening however is a very strong and medicinal blast of wood. It's a warning sign: this stuff is strong and it's going to last, whether you like it or not! As soon as the perfume is properly settled on skin it reveals what it's all about. Rose and oud, hints of saffron. A classic combination, no groundbreaking innovations but that really doesn't matter. It's mouthwatering jammy without going sweet. Into the drydown, it just gets better and better. The rose fades a bit and the leather comes through. Well into day 2, still going strong.

The bottle itself is stylish with a good sprayer, but it comes in a leather-look mini bag of mediocre quality.

GULAB!!

In fact, the name of this perfume should have been Gulab in Gulab instead of Black in Black!
From beginning to end, the strong and artificial smell of Gulab, Shirazi Faloodeh, and Nebat syrup is very disgusting and embarrassing!!
The only conceivable use for wearing such a concoction is to sprinkle it on the shroud or to participate in the maximum participation in the Majlis
Is an open-air funeral and nothing else!
Very long-lasting, so that unfortunately all clothes smell of this stinking Gulab and it also makes the wardrobe look terrible. The diffusion is also very high. When you apply this Gulab, you will be amazed that I wish conventional and fragrant perfumes could also create such diffusion and long-lasting effects!
Overall, be very careful with that rose in the list of notes of this perfume, because it is the only rose that stands out in this perfume and does not allow any other scent to be present. About two hours after applying the perfume, the smell of the earth and the soil of the cemetery and the Imamzadeh rises from the place where you applied the perfume. Smelling these scents is the cheapness of someone who goes blindly and buys such expensive and disastrous perfumes without testing them!

Refined Simplicity: Black to Black's Luxurious Rose & Oud

Black to Black delivers a straightforward yet beautifully executed rose and oud experience. Simple, but undeniably luxurious, it leans masculine with a long-lasting, well-blended scent. If you appreciate Opulent Oud by Lattafa, this is a clear upgrade in performance and blend quality. For rose/oud lovers, this is a safe blind buy recommendation. While the search for the "perfect" rose/oud continues, Black to Black is a strong contender for a future purchase.

The Price Sensation of Rose-Ouds, Very Close to Thirty Three

Fortunately, I don't smell any amber, soap, animalic notes, leather, saffron, etc. in Black to Black. I also don't find it particularly dark for a fragrance of this genre, and to attribute similarities to Black Aoud borders on blasphemy. Black Aoud is truly soapy, Black Aoud is truly dark and harsh; there is no comparison. Black to Black takes what makes Thirty Three so beautiful to the next level. An herbal freshness brightens everything up. Where it comes from, I still don't know. Is it geranium? It reminds me a bit of sage; it has a green, herbal freshness that also has a floral quality, making it seem as if the rose can hardly exist without it.

You can safely forget the fragrance pyramid of Black to Black. It smells like a slightly coarser Thirty Three. All Mancera clones have this in common. One aspect of a fragrance is taken to the extreme, which can be good or go quite wrong. Personally, I like it because I really enjoy this aspect of Thirty Three. However, this also makes Black to Black seem a bit less rounded and perfect. Black to Black is the only Mancera so far that doesn't fade even in the drydown and doesn't become musty or sour there, which has often been the case until now. The base is soft, smooth with still a beautiful rose note. Not quite as delicately heliotrope-like as in Thirty Three. Thirty Three has an inimitable base, and after ages, it develops into a rather erotic skin scent, while the familiar rose-oud scent remains in the textiles. In Black to Black, even the copy of the drydown is well done, as the rose-oud duo fades delicately and softly, but it disappears steadily without going through that magical phase of Thirty Three. Likewise, longevity and sillage are not quite at Ex Idolo level, but still very good.

For me, Black to Black is the second-best rose-oud after Thirty Three and, considering the price, it is an absolute must-have for all fans of this direction.
