Decent spicy saffron-led entry but not a standout

Sampling Mancera Eternal Wood, a 2024 release, a mixed resinous, woody, and semi-spicy blend, a bit generic but comfortingly familiar, something I’ve smelled a bit in other perfumes over the past decade. Oud, saffron, and palo santo play against toffee, tonka, and amber, a bit of a woody/savory dominance tempered by resinous and semi-sweet aspects. The saffron is the biggest standout, providing a good bit of the spice, depth, and intrigue. Overall, I like it and find it easy enough to wear, while still being interesting, but it’s nothing terribly new or head-turning. Still, it’s a decent release from this house (along with sibling company Montale) of many releases, just not a standout offering in recent years.

It performs very well, though, and is priced at $190 for 120ml, higher than what I believed to be the usual $180, perhaps indicative of a price increase across the board that is not yet reflected in each fragrance in the catalogue. Retail points of sale include department stores as well as boutiques in the US like Olfactif, from which I bought my sample, though some grey market sites appear to offer it at this time already.

Successful Oud for Greatness alternative

Mancera is once again putting out some exciting releases this year. This brand seems to be responding to current trends, which is also a good move. A cherry fragrance has also just been released and the pleasing notes of other bestsellers have been incorporated. What I like is that this brand brings its own charm to the table. The role model here is clearly Oud for Greatness Eau de Parfum, of which there are now also several alternatives on the market. I really wanted to test this one because of this great pyramid, especially all these great types of wood and also some sweetness. Sounds good for the fall/winter. The price of this brand is also absolutely fine. I had ordered a small bottling to test, and that's probably what it will remain. Even though I can absolutely recommend this fragrance, the original OfG is enough for me and this one goes too much in that direction. If you are looking for a rounder, more pleasing version, you will find it here.

As always, the bottle comes in a simple but very pretty box. Inside is a small bag where the bottle is stored. The bottles are uniform and have a great magnetic lid. Here you get a fragrance with a great autumnal-brown color. It makes you feel good when you see this fragrance like this.
As I said, this fragrance is very much in the direction of Oud for Greatness. Immediately after spraying it on, this fragrance comes to mind. A dark note is also subtly reminiscent of Sauvage Elixir, but overall very much in the direction of Initio.
Eternal Wood may not be the best choice of name. There are some woody notes in this fragrance, but for me it is primarily a saffron scent with all sorts of sweetness, especially in the base. The start has a strange name that wears off after 5 minutes. Not that great, but after that comes this saffron note like in OfG. An oriental, non-dominant oud note is also present. There is also a sweet and warm davana note that completes the opening. The wood becomes more present after about 1 hour with dark guaiac wood and palo santo, plus a soft cashmere wood note. I like it and it is very cozy and autumnal. The longer the fragrance is on the skin, the sweeter it becomes. Caramel & tonka provide a cozy autumnal-wintery sweetness. A very cozy sweetness that goes perfectly with this saffron-wood combination. This is also a very pleasant interpretation of Initio. The base is very soft.
Performance is good as usual for this brand and also this DNA. Sillage is very strong and also the durability is 12+ hours. Everything is great, making it a perfect outdoor and night-out fragrance for the colder months. It can also be worn in everyday life, but not too many sprays. This fragrance is unisex. Of course, you have to like this saffron-OfG DNA as a lady to wear this fragrance. This fragrance is more likely to appeal to men.

Overall, a very, very strong release. This extra portion of sweetness makes it really good for the Christmas season. Not a must-have if you already own a fragrance in this direction.

At first, he might chase one or two away

Eternal Wood can be quite demanding at the beginning.
The fragrance is quite dark, smoky, woody and spicy.
Oud in combination with something slightly "herbaceous", if you can call it that, saffron and even perceived incense.

After about half an hour, the fragrance loosens up a little on my skin and the smoky swarm recedes somewhat.
The woody impression also becomes more pleasing, but something dark remains.

The longer the fragrance lies on the skin, the more I suddenly had the feeling of smelling a kind of Dior Sauvage Elixir or even my Lattafa Asad in a certain way.
I didn't want to believe it, but it was and is definitely like that.
After I got this impression, I had to see if I was the only one with this impression.
I don't see one of these fragrances as similar, but I actually read a comment along these lines in the review. In other words, I am not alone with this impression.

For me, Eternal Wood is really a brother to Dior Sauvage Elixir. It has roughly the same vibes, just a little more subtle. I really liked the Dior and the Lattafa Asad at first, but after wearing it several times, it somehow became too much for me. I think the Eternal Oud is a little softer and makes it more beautiful Of course, because we have a completely different opening here, it is definitely a fragrance with its own right.

In terms of performance, however, this fragrance does not score quite as well for me as previously rated here.
Nevertheless, this fragrance does not hide at all.

However, I would definitely classify this fragrance more as a men's fragrance.
I find it very difficult to imagine it on a woman.

Are you related to the OFG by blood or marriage?

Definitely yes! The affiliation cannot be denied. Because there are still differences, which is why I find it difficult to call it a clone because it also has a unique selling point.

I can definitely understand the Sauvage Elixir aritge, it creates a note of ambroxan / aniseed through a combination with the saffron and something else, which gives certain vibes. But of campfire ... Nothing ...

In my opinion, the design of Eternal Wood is also better compared to the OFG because there is no moss & lavender in it, which makes the fragrance more subtle and distinctive and gives a cool and not warm impression despite the caramel.

By and large, it swims in the same pool, but the nuances are ultimately what differentiate the two from each other.

Is the cow being milked again here? Everyone has to decide for themselves ...

You should definitely test it for longer and not make direct spasmodic comparisons. The longer you smell it, the greater the differences become.
