Red Tobacco Mancera 2017

I hesitated several times buying this perfume because Carlisle was on my wish list for a long time. Some reviewers said it would be redundant to have both in the collection but now that I own them I can't disagree more. Mancera is strength, durability but synthetic and less pleasant to sensitive noses. Carlisle is pure smoothness, quality ingredients and it has the best opening, by far. Some people say Carlisle is tough in the opening, but I love that stage. It's like a sweet liqueur, aggressive but pleasurable. Mancera its realy harsh and quite synthetic in the opening. Over time the two get closer but Mancera's performance is unbeatable. Durability is insane in Red Tobacco. The projection is also good and better than Carlisle. I like to use both but my heart leans more towards the PDM.
