I too am just at the beginning of my perfume journey. For years, only one or another designer fragrance found its way into my collection. So I set out to search for something new.
My requirements were quite simple ;-)
Good/affordable/niche/multifunctional/best worn all year round.
In the end, I landed on Mancera and Cedrat Boise.
Spring/Summer:
Authentic citrus notes and fresh marine notes transform the fragrance into a real freshness kick in summer. Unlike many other summer fragrances, this one is a true long-lasting scent that lasts 4-5 hours on me.
Autumn:
Here, the warm woody notes and, in the end, the slight sweetness from the vanilla stand out to my nose.
Thus, it can be used without hesitation even in cooler temperatures. Personally, I can easily get through my workday with it. Still, I would consider 1-2 sprays after 6+ hours as ideal to get the maximum out of it.
Conclusion: I'm not saying anything new here. For me, in terms of price/performance (in the souk sometimes under 1 Euro per ml), it belongs in every cabinet.
