What A Beauty
I was in the process of buying samples, including some Mancera and Montale, as I am now at the stage of entering into the niche space. Before my purchase, I was a little reluctant, because I didn't know how I would feel about this combination of notes. I said why not and bought it anyway, because it was actually the cheapest of all the samples I was looking at, at only $4. Let's just say I was intrigued the most about this one, although I did not have high expectations. Well, as the package arrived, they were blown right out of the water. Straight out of the bag, this was immediately my favourite, as well as my girlfriend's. That's the thing with this fragrance, women love it, it's very unisex. It takes a sort of guy to pull this off, as to some people it can lean slightly feminine, so it's definitely not for everyone. But if you're a man who isn't scared of wearing fragrances that aren't ultra-masculine, I think you can definitely wear this. It's more of a refined, semi-formal night out type fragrance to me, but I think you can get away with it in most situations besides active events or in high heat. Onto the scent itself, it opens with a blast of rose, vanilla and orange blossom, which is where it can scare off some men from wearing. To balance this out however, you get a hint of oud, citrus and pepper, and even a touch of leather, which keeps it from being completely feminine. It is an addictive scent to me, it smells clean, but not too clean, elegant, refined, and put simply, great. This isn't a radically-evolving fragrance, however I wouldn't call it linear. Although still present, as it dries down, the floral-vanillic notes settle down; leaving the base of oud and a hint of leather to shine through. This isn't a stinky oud, but more of a clean, smoother oud that fits well into the structure of this fragrance. So if you don't like dark oud and leather fragrances, don't be frightened, as I myself am an example of that. To me, this fragrance pushes the boundaries of gender, feminine for a man, masculine for a woman, but in the best way possible. I wouldn't blind buy this, but I recommend everyone to try it, because I love it so much that I am now purchasing it as my first full-bottle Mancera. It's a beauty.nnScent: 9.3/10nLongevity: 9.1/10nProjection/Sillage: 8.0/10nGender: UnisexnBottle: 7.8/10nValue: 8.6/10nnOverall: 9.0/10
