Cedrat Boise Mancera 2011

I also believed the hype, got myself a leftover bottle and was sorely disappointed.

Maybe there is something to this degradation hypothesis, many people think that it smelled different on them at first.

The lemon is incredibly penetrating and overly sweet, the rest is just smoke. I know it's getting old by now, but you just think of an ashtray, that's it.

It's a very strong fragrance, 4 sprays were too much and it lasts forever.

I had it on once when I went out, luckily I was too tired to care.

My brother has a new bottling directly from Mancera, he said they smell exactly the same. I haven't compared them myself yet, but mine is an old bottle with the screw cap.
