In a perfume store, I tested Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum and wasn't really convinced.. "Fig and then this massive spice.. hmm". But the scent has been so hyped, there must be something to it (?).
So recently I went to a perfume store again. Until that point, I didn't even know there was an Extrait. So I became curious and sprayed the fragrance on my wrist.

About the scent:
This time, it completely blew me away. The fig, the tea, and then this cardamom that adds that certain something to it all. Since I had sprayed it on, it could really develop beautifully. After about 15 minutes, the wonderful creaminess emerges through the base notes. I especially have to highlight the vanilla: it's brilliant. Also the iris.. the scent never gets boring.
I can't even describe it properly, but everything just fits with this fragrance :0

About the longevity:
Just before leaving the perfume store, I applied about 5-7 sprays on my jacket and neck. My jacket smells so strong 4 days later that the scent lingers in the air at home.
What's surprising is that the sillage is rather moderate for such longevity. You definitely leave a light scent trail, but it's never too overpowering. I think that makes it even better!!

In conclusion, I can say that anyone looking for a creamy, cozy date scent but also a fragrance for leisure will find exactly what they're looking for here. There's so much sophistication in it, and you'll stand out positively. Anyone who likes White on White will love this one.

My first purchase of a Mancera perfume. In fact, it was a blind buy.. I just felt like it. And what can I say, I was not disappointed.
The fragrance starts with a wonderfully fresh, natural lemon, paired with blackcurrant. These two notes carry through the entire scent journey.
Why the title of my review? The scent changes constantly. Shortly after spraying, the smoky (Aventus) note comes through and makes the fragrance a bit dirty. Not in a bad way though. It feels rounded and super pleasant. The leather joins in, and I think it’s great.
Towards the dry down, the fragrance develops into a vanilla, woody, slightly powdery lemon. Totally pleasant.
For me, a real gem in this price range.

What I would like to add: The spray head is at a level where you wouldn't expect it.

I can understand the criticism regarding the longevity of the scent since the new batch less. On me, it lasts 7-9 hours, initially with strong sillage. After a day at work, it is still noticeable.
