Mancera: HOLIDAY instead of HOLIDAYS
If we took a holiday,
took some time to celebrate!
Just one day out of life,
it would be, it would be so nice!

When I sprayed Holidays the first time to test, I immediately remembered the song by Madonna. My mom is a real fan of Madonna. Earlier, when I was still a child, she had in the car radio always a cassette (yes, so it was back in 1890!) From Madonna's first album while driving run.

Madonna sings about a "holiday", the fragrance of Mancera is of course called "vacation", the small but subtle difference is the "s" at the end.

If I smell at the beginning of the fresh bergamot and the slightly salty notes, paired with a coconut breeze, nevertheless, no vacation feeling per se arises in me. With me, the fragrance leads to a wide grin on the face: I get a good mood, want to have fun, celebrate!

As soon as the heart shows from Holidays, then the holiday feeling mixes with a longing for the distance. I can perceive the sweet creaminess of tiare, coconut remains very delicately in the background. The refreshing, slightly salty scent does not go away with me - thank goodness. I like it very much. The beach of Mallorca calls me then...

Only in the base notes coconut and the salty, fresh note is gone. Then the fragrance becomes slightly woody with me with a touch of vanilla.

The durability is super with about 8 hours and with the sillage you have to watch out. I suspect that the fragrance can be overdosed quite quickly. Mancera fragrances have always put me off until now, but with Holidays I want to go celebrate. Just like Madonna sang it in her song.

Dreamy beach holiday in a bottle
Holidays really delivers on what the name promises. It smells like tropical florals, creamy coconut, vanilla ice cream, a light salty sea breeze and a small dash of limey bergamot. What more can you want from a holiday fragrance? I love how sweet and creamy this is. Especially the vanilla note is so lovely, it's bright and milky and fits in perfectly with the rest of the scent without weighing it down. And it gets better in the drydown, where it turns so warm that it almost feels like an amber note.

The only fault I can find in this is that the florals and bergamot in the opening can feel a little too oily, as it can sometimes happen with tiaré. It has a bit of a monoi vibe, which I could have done without. That's just my personal taste though, and it doesn't last too long. In the end the gourmand notes smooth out any sharpness the florals have, which makes me prefer Holidays over a lot of other tropical scents.

It makes me dream of a lazy day on a perfect white beach with turquoise waters, coconuts and unlimited vanilla ice cream. Beautiful. Obviously this is a summer in a bottle. Even though it's a warm scent, it would feel totally out of place to me in winter.

Holidays by Mancera
Hot summer evenings, party at the seaside night bar. Warm ,tanned skin with remaining coconut sun lotion. Warm, fragrant breeze coming from the heated up sea. Fun, free from worries, flirty atmosphere. This how this perfume smells to me. It's sweet ,potent, sun tan cream with loads of vanilla. It's loudness makes it suitable for the night out . Use modestly as when oversprayed can make your nostrils tired. Highly recommended for women in 20/30 or young in heart as summer evenings frag.
