Masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece!
For me: Without doubt the best fragrance ever made. The fragrance is pure seduction in a bottle. I don't have the words to describe how sexy this fragrance is - especially when you wear it on a first night out with your girlfriend.
The zenith for date night fragrances (especially for first dates). In all my encounters with women on dates, I've never gotten so many compliments on any fragrance - while you're spending time with your partner, but especially afterwards: "Wow, my clothes still smell like your perfume."

Compliments for the fragrance: Endless.
Fragrance for me: 100/10
Longevity: Eternal
Sillage: Fills a room, but doesn't offend anyone

Mancera Black Gold is the fragrance that ignited my passion for perfume. It has been my signature fragrance for over 7 years. It has been my gatekeeper fragrance ever since.

A masterpiece. The fragrance opens sweet and fresh with a very deep oud note that I have never smelled before. An absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, deep and sweet fragrance that leaves me with a very pleasant and calming feeling. Before I tried Ombre Nomade, I assumed that the oud note would be very dark, animalic and perhaps even disturbing. I expected the oud note to go in a dark, bitter direction, like smelling wood wet from the rain. But it was exactly the opposite: I was very surprised at how sweet, rosy and pleasant the fragrance is. I just can't get enough of the oud used in Ombre Nomade. The fragrance hardly changes and constantly maintains this beautiful oud note with the sweetness in the background. Personally, I like this oud better than the raspberry sweetness. Admittedly, the price is quite high, but the coziness, calmness and comfort that this oud offers are worth it.

A beautiful signature fragrance, though probably not a compliment magnet with ladies. The fragrance itself does not scream "attractiveness". Instead, it radiates calm and self-confidence - and in many cases, that's even better.

My impressions as a man of Laura Biagiotti Roma for women.
(Girlfriend wears it).

I own Laura Biagiotti for men. Compared to Roma for women, Roma for men is much sweeter and more reminiscent of a sweet orange sorbet dessert, while Roma for women is much more floral and also more grown-up.

Despite its affordable price, the fragrance is quite complex and well-structured. It opens with a natural sweetness, a "calorie-free" sweetness so to speak, as you mainly notice the ripe grapefruit. After a few minutes, it transforms into a beautiful, pleasant, floral summer fragrance. (A fresh, floral summer fragrance often leaves a better impression than an ultra-sweet, synthetic one).

As a man, I find it an excellent, beautiful, natural and authentic women's fragrance for summer, which is very easy for women to wear. It does not come across as a seductive fragrance, but rather as a perfect everyday companion in spring and summer. I noticed the sillage quite strongly at first, but unfortunately it fades after a short time. The longevity could also be much better - the same problem as with Roma for men.

What makes the fragrance really convincing are these natural floral notes that convey spring and summer in an honest, authentic and realistic way. A great women's fragrance - timeless. It evokes the image of a beautiful vacation in Italy in spring or summer: you can smell the flowers, stroll through the ancient streets or relax on the beach and enjoy the sun.

A classic and probably the most famous men's perfume ever. The absolute definition of a classic men's fragrance. The name "Cool Water" simply fits perfectly. A real old school men's fragrance to the power of ². Personally, the fragrance always reminds me of my father's aftershave, which he used to buy in the supermarket. Of course, you can't blame the fragrance, as it laid the foundation and was copied by everyone and everything. The oak moss also gives the fragrance a rather pungent and bitter note, which makes it more of an over-30 or over-40 fragrance. It's not for me personally, as it smells a bit too generic and too much like shower gel / aftershave in 2025 with all the copies.
Nevertheless, it definitely has its rightful place.

Incidentally, Davidoff Cool Water is as far removed from the masterpiece Creed Green Irish Tweed as the earth is from the sun. Davidoff has nothing to do with Creed Irish Tweed - except that they are both a liquid in a bottle.

An excellent fragrance for the evening. Exactly what you would expect and want from a Dolce & Gabbana Intense in a dark bottle. A great alternative to YSL Myself if you want to mix up the evening fragrances a little. The fragrance carries the same dark, seductive concept as YSL Myslf and is convincing across the board. These seductive fragrances with a dark DNA are exactly my signature. Absolutely suitable for blind buying and mass appeal. From the opening to the drydown, it convinces throughout without ever being really annoying or giving you the feeling that something doesn't fit here. Cardamom, benzoin, neroli, cashmere and leather. Beautifully composed. The sillage and longevity could be better though.

All in all, a beautiful fragrance and brother of YSL Myslf.
