Grown up Cedrat Boise
I've had this perfume since february and Im only now writing a review because I didnt know quite well how to put into words my opinion on this one.
I had bought and used all of a Cedrat Boise sample, and ive had really liked it, because it was quite zingy and sharp while still being fruity. And then I saw the comparisons to this one and how it was more or less a more refined or rounded version of the OG.
Having said that for me this scent is quite different to the original, while still having that energizing opening of citrus and blackcurrant is sort of deeper and has a smoky characteristic from the get go that I didnt quite get on the original.
Then this scent progresses to a looot more leathery and woody middle body, while the fruit takes more of a background compared to the original.
The drydown is more or less the same, but having those smoky and deep notes I guess one could attribute to the Oud, which its pretty well balanced.
I can see this fitting in almost every season because it has a little bit of everything, as with the original I mostly saw that being usable on spring or summer day or nights.
The duration its a lot better than the original, lasting on me at least 3-4 hours projecting well, and on my skin at least 10 hours.
I do recommend it, but I wouldnt say its redundant to have both this and the original, as I feel the original is a bit more laid back or informal so to say. Another good experience with the house of Mancera
