The fruity

Of course, after spraying it on, the association came to me directly: That smells like Aventus. But the Cedrat Boise by Mancera is much more than that. I would even go so far as to say that the fragrance is not a twin of the most popular Creed at all, but just put it in the same fragrance family.

Immediately after spraying, you get a fruit cocktail in the nose that has washed. A fruit explosion! The black currant plays here clearly the main role and gives the fragrance a woody mood. But citrusy notes also emerge. In the course of the fragrance, it remains more or less constant, but drifts more and more into soft woods.

The durability is above average. More does not need to be said about it. He holds quite the whole day and you do not need to worry that he quickly evaporates. The fruit explosion in the opening is also likely to draw one or the other attention to itself, but the fragrance is of course in the course of time more and more skin.

For me, Cedrat Boise is a super spring and summer perfume. Due to its fruitiness, it is perfect in warmer temperatures.

And because it's so nice, the comparison to Aventus that many draw. As mentioned before, the scents don't have too much in common, except for the overall impression. Once you take a closer look at both you realize how different they are. Cedrat Boise is definitely fruitier to me, if not a bit sweeter. It's also smoother, softer, and doesn't tick as much. Aventus is more towards citrusy-smoky, and has more edge to it that you can also really like. Furthermore, the Aventus works for me a little brighter and CB a little darker. In the end, it's a matter of taste which one is better. For me, both do not make the other superfluous, because they are nevertheless different, and it is worth owning both.

Conclusion:
Cedrat Boise is a very strong, pleasing scent for warmer days that seduces and intrigues with its blend of fruits. The woods, which come out nicely in the drydown, drive it towards the woods, and that pleases. The scent is super tuned and perfectly balanced and I can see why so many like it. Translated, by the way, it means woody lemon, which I think fits quite well.
