The opening is a sinus clearing and very rough blast of peppery, coriander, lemon and orange. The combination of citrus and peppers evokes a sort of ultra dry peppermint type smell, an allusion to mint but not actually smelling like it. I think this is the mint from the title and it's interesting but not strong or long lasting.
The durability is very good! So 3-4 hours shines the pretty strong and you are definitely noticed in the time. Whether you want or not. After that, he is a little cuddlier, but holds loose 10 hours through, in which he is also throughout easy to perceive. A times briefly turned or waved his arm and he rises again in the nose. So I wish me that. Exclusive Avon Absolute – a woody oriental fragrance released in 2020. The main notes include oud, Texas cedar, and amber. The lasting power is 8 – 10 hours with moderate projection. Well if there's little to no lemon, little to no mint and little to no aoud what do you get? LET'S FIND OUT. Characteristic of the creations of both brands are the descriptive names, meaning that the name of the fragrance anticipates which ingredients should dominate the course of the fragrance. As already mentioned above, I cannot always agree with this naming, also in the case of Aoud Lemon Mint. Cool, marketing-optimised fragrance names such as "Viking", "Egoiste" or "Layton" are not to be found at Montale. Many of the fragrances are also categorized as unisex, including the one discussed here. Mancera Aoud Blue Notes – a fruity woody fragrance released in 2015. The main notes include fruity notes, Guaiac wood, and leather. The lasting power is 8 – 10 hours with moderate projection.Both Mancera and Montale niche brands are quite affordable, especially if you decide to shop from fragrance discounters which I highly suggest doing so that you can get the best value.
Given that oud and mint are in the name of the product, I was quite surprised that they are basically not here. This has happened before with Montale Wood & Spices where the fragrance doesn’t smell anything like the name suggests. Also, by just looking at the name of the fragrance and the color of the bottle, one could think that this one is a great summer fragrance which it isn’t. The prevailing notes of lemony almonds, combined with ambery vanilla make it best to use during milder spring weather and fall.
About Mancera
As both of these colognes have similar notes like Saffron, Jasmine, and Amber, people might think you are actually wearing a legendary cologne. Mancera Instant Crush is not an exact clone of BR540, but they have an identical vibe. Since I don’t wear fragrances just for compliments, and the almond note is one of my preferred notes, I didn’t see this as a negative side at all. In the dry-down, you’ll get a rich blend of jasmine and patchouli. After that, the tobacco notes will start to project along with some woody notes and vanilla. Sauvage is often touted both as a work scent and a club banger panty dropper, and I want to kill myself after typing that. This fragrance is the far, far FAR more mature version of what Sauvage tries to be.
I cannot say that I’m surprised with the end product because of the sheer number of Mancera and Montale releases each year which prevents Pierre Montale to bring out masterpieces continuously.As someone who has a lot of experience with Mancera in general, the hype and high expectations were justified from my side.
Great Deal
