Hindu Kush Mancera 2018

I really do not understand the low rating
This fragrance is a masterpiece.
Opens up fresh green and in 15 mins we get into the woody notes and it ends in a very cozy warm creamy amber and vanilla
It is not a beast mode perfume but the performance is solid. Lasts more than 8 hours on skin and more than that on cloths
All year rounder and very much safe at the office as well.
I enjoy it very much

This perfume is extraordinary.
It opens with a pimp note of hemp seed oil. (if you smoked weed you can understand the feeling), which after a while becomes an amber with hints of green, saffron, I also feel other spices. The dry-down is musky, clean. It's not a fresh perfume but decidedly oriental. In the middle of this journey (because this is a journey guys!) I smell the incense, not a cold churchy one, this is warm, mixed with labdanum and vanilla. This is a really pleasant, deep, rich complex perfume. I use this perfume for every occasion as I'm a huge fan of oriental smells.

I get a clove note paired with a sweet bubblegum note. I can’t help but think of the type of toothpaste they give you at the dentist – lol. I actually kind of like it, though!

The cannabis note is nowhere to be found. The most realistic cannabis note is still, in my eyes, Green.

I don't love it, but this one is decent and would make for a fun and unusual fall scent!

In a collection comprised of numerous full bottles and multiple dozens of samples fresh fragrances. Hindu Kush from Mancera has become my go to spring freshie.

There are times during the shoulder seasons when it's too cool for a citrus heavy summer scent and too warm for the winter ones. On days like this the EASIEST reach for me is Mancera's Hindu Kush.

This scent is fresh without being simplistic, it comes across as green, almost creamy, slightly resinous with a spicy drydown that is absolutely killer. I'd like to say that I can detect the cannabis note but in all honesty it, at most, plays a supporting role that is very well blended.

I feel like this is the type of scent that would work well for people who find traditional freshies to be too simplistic. There is almost no sweetness to speak of and the resinous aspects give this scent a depth that I personally appreciate. It's not the most natural smelling thing in the world but that's not a deal breaker for me and honestly doesn't detract from the scent in my opinion.

Performance is great lasting at least half a day and projecting well for the majority of that (granted I'm an oversprayer).

I just picked this up about a week ago and have worn it a few times. I am in the exact same boat as licorice_goat. Exact same. A greener, fresher version of Black Afgano. I would deem it more publicly acceptable. But wear what you want. Except Keroseen Followed. Don't ever wear that. This was a blind buy for me based off of recommendations from this community. Specially JusttheFactsMan who has yet to steer me wrong. Fantastic purchase and I may wear this more than Red Tobacco Intense. And I absolutely love that one. There are just more opportunities for this.
