Top Ten Mancera of 2022 + Special Bottle Giveaway

Best Mancera perfumes

photo and image by Steven©

Mancera Paris was started by French Perfumer Pierre Montale and is now under the artistic direction of his daughter Amélie. Mancera has about 47 perfumes according to Europerfumes, the US Distributor, although there may be over 70!!! The brand  is known by many for their use of oud; the surprise is just how many of their perfumes don’t focus on oud. Contributing Video Journalist Steven Gavrielatos chose in his top ten.

 Mancera Red Tobacco. According t  the Mancera Paris site, it is classified as an Oud fragrance. However, Oud takes a supporting role to the very rich, heady tobacco note that is enveloped in cloud of spicy amber. Red Tobacco defies a typical classification and is warm, resinous and mysterious. A real compliment getter.

Mancera Cedrat Boise combines two popular classifications in fragrance: citrus and woods. Cedrat Boise differs from many others with its warmth; hints of spices, fruit and moss take this fragrance from bright and bold to wood

Your next perfume crush might be the delightful Mancera Instant Crush. Playful with sparkling fresh citrus, and delicious mandarin that is spiced just right with saffron and ginger.

Mancera Sicily blends jasmine flower with ylang-ylang and juicy peach for an unforgettably exotic experience.

Mancera Black Gold is a unique blend of cinnamon,  violet and refined lavender. The versatility of this perfume is noteworthy as it works very well for both a special occasion and for casual wear.

Need a vacation? Try Mancera Holidays. With its tropical notes of coconut, tiare flower, and vanilla, one spray will immediately transport you to olfactory paradise.

Mancera So Blue is a patchouli and rose fragrance with an oceanic heart

Mancera Black Line: A great fresh citrusy patchouli

Mancera Jardins Exclusif is a bright earthy fruity fragrance with a bouquet of white peach, black currant, and green apple.

Aoud Lemon Mint is refreshing with lemon and mint, and a touch of cacao added to the oud.

Disclosure: Europerfumes provided Steven with Cedrat Boise, Aoud Lemon Mint, Jardin Exclusif and Sicily for use in this review

Red Tobacco is the best Mancera Perfume

    Steven named alot of the popular Mancera Fragrance. I love Sicily, instant crush, holidays. I like the notes in Red Tobacco , definitely love to add this to my collection. Thank you for this Chance USA

  • Kyce Dawwas says:

    Haven’t smelled of these, but Cedrat Boise is certainly at the top of my list in terms of likability and versatility, everyone just loves this!

  • Bassey says:

    Steven has just introduced me to some Mancera offerings that I have not heard much talk about – So Blue, Holidays and Jardins Exclusif. Thanks Steven.
    My favorite Mancera thus far is Roses Vanille and my wife really enjoys it on me so that definitely increases its appeal to me.

  • fcasimiro says:

    I’ve been a Redolessence subscriber for many years under the handle of “jesuswithacamera”. Steven always hits them out the park with his down to earth reviews. This one is no different. I’ve been wanting to try Red Tobacco for some time so hopefully this draw will fulfill my want. Crossing my fingers.

    I always love watching Steven review fragrances. He always reminds me of a legendary sportscaster calling a game; knowledgeable, lovable, and always so consistent. During this video I really enjoyed how vulnerable Steven became when speaking about his darker past and how it has shaped his experience with wearing Black Line. For myself, I have tried a handful of Mancera frags and my hands-down favorite is Cedrat Boise. It is close to perfect for my style and is so versatile and enjoyable. Coincidentally enough, the one I’ve been wanting to try most out of those I haven’t gotten my nose on IS Red Tobacco. Since it draws so many comparisons to Argos’ Triumph of Bacchus (an all-timer for me), I have felt the need to see for myself how fantastic it is. Thank you so much, as always, for the opportunity to try out Red Tobacco! Cheers from Illinois!

  • Andrew DiPaola says:

    Once again great video Steven. I enjoy the house of Mancera as I own Cedrat Boise and Red Tobacco. The one I would like to be entered to win is “Aoud Lemon Mint” Sounds like such a beautiful and unique warm weather fragrance. Thanks so much for the opportunity CaFleurebon!

  • Arron Umberger says:

    I loved that Steven covered so many fragrances with concise yet meaningful descriptions. Though he spent less than a minute on each fragrance, I felt as if I could make an informed decision on potential samples/purchases because he didn’t ramble and hit the key notes that viewers need. I was also pleased to learn that Jardins Exclusif is a fruity fragrance because I had always thought it sounded green, which caused me to avoid it in the past.

  • Terrianne says:

    Stephen is always so detailed. I love his careful and considerate reviews. My favorite of the ones I have owned or tried is Aoud Orchid. I’m wearing it today. Never gets talked about.

  • William Burr says:

    Hey Steven,
    I heard so much about red tobacco from you, Ashton, and other reviewers. I would love to get a bottle. I have a couple of oud fragrances that I really like such as both boss bottled oud flankers and the one mysterious night.

  • NickPicket says:

    I’ve got a sample of Red Tobacco and absolutely love the combination of Tabacco, vanilla, spices and oud. The scent is better on the dry down and the longevity is at least 16 hours on my skin.

    Am super interested in trying more Manceras

  • boogieafterhours says:

    I appreciate how Steven managed to provide all of the key information about these fragrances in such a short amount of time. So many reviewers will go on and on about fragrances, taking forever to give the viewers what they are really after. Other blow through them so quickly you don’t really get a feel for the scent. Steven found that sweet middle ground by being thorough yet concise. Love these types of videos.

  • Helena Shinkoda says:

    I loved the review and hear about some fragrances we don’t hear much about them. I’d love to to add Red Tobacco to my collection

  • pipeortega says:

    I always enjoy Steve’s reviews he is very accurate with the description of the fragances, to be honest i think he is missing mancera silver blue, is one of the best of the house….oud lemon mint is one of my favorites and red tobacco as well but the small bottle i have is almost gone after used it a lot this winter, i wish i can win this bottle will make me super happy.

  • Doni says:

    Aoud Lemon Mint was always near the top for me too. Glad that Steven made the connection to the Guerlain. Very similar top 3 with Red Tobacco at #1, but I’m yet to try the new Cedrat Boise Intense and Sicily. Great descriptions from Steven as always. Can’t say that I agree about Instant Crush (:S) but one of the few reviewers that’s still at the top of his game. Wonderful vid. MI, USA

  • Connor says:

    Red tobacco is a killer fragrance!! All the notes blend together so well and I find it extremely versatile. Steven did a wonderful job describing his favorite mancera fragrances and has definitely peaked my interest in the house as a whole.

  • FC says:

    Cedrat Boise is probably the first fragrance from Mancera that became popular and now Red Tobacco has probably become the face of the brand. Steven also talks about Instant Crush that it is a more flirtatious and younger version of BR540, cult favorite from MFK. I am in US

  • Øyvind Voldmo Larsen says:

    Both Sicily and Red tobacco has been on my radar for a while. Nice to see both within the topp 3 on the Video.
    Hard to find in Norway, but going to NY to visit a friend in May. So hopefully i can test them there or even better, pick up my price

  • jenbleu7 says:

    Aoud Lemon Mint sounds really good but I don’t own a Mancera…yet. I see Steven’s favorite is Red Tobacco, so I’d be more than happy to try it out. The description sounds like a lot of other frags but there’s always THE one. I hope this stands on its own and thanks for giving me the chance to win. USA.

  • LCasimiro says:

    I have watched Steven’s reviews for years and always enjoy them. He is engaging and knowledgeable. He made me want to try a Mancera fragrance or two. I’d love to win the giveaway!

    USA

  • Jorge says:

    My favorites are red tobaco, lemon mint ,Sicily, cedrat . Sand oud is ok similar to dessert marrocain but not as dry . I like all of them really nice

  • safegotem says:

    I love the house of Mancera!! I have 6 out of the 10 that Steven reviewed. Jardin Exclusif is probably my favorite next to Soleil D’Italie. I haven’t tried Red Tobacco but it’s definitely one of the most popular & I would love to try it. I follow the new Instagram page (@safegotem) Good luck to everyone that has entered. I live in Martinsville, Virginia USA

  • jorge17 says:

    I would like to add Red Tobacco onto my collection. The notes look really great. I am a fan of tobacco fragrances and I also love that its performance is on beast mode!

  • baker1128 says:

    Actually Red Tobacco is my favorite, and I enjoyed Steve’s review and he always gives some of the best reviews

  • Conor P says:

    Awesome top 10 line up. Cedrat Boise would be my number 1 followed by Red Tobacco, both solid fragrances in their own way. ❤

  • elise jones says:

    Lied the notes steven describes for holidays coconut vanilla and tiara flower and other exotic flowers makes you wonder what those are

  • Jerald Bell says:

    I don’t own any of the Mancera frags, but the way Steven breakdown each fragrance and there notes, make you wanna purchase your own, thanks for the knowledge, I enjoy watching his video’s I’m a big fan, your doing great work!

  • all_about_patchouly says:

    if you give me that bottle of Red Tobacco, you have a new customer for many many years.

  • Tiffany T says:

    Thanks Steven for your detailed review. I’ve heard a lot about Red Tobacco from fragrance groups and YouTube reviews but didn’t know Macera has so many fragrances to suite all preferences. I definitely want to add Auod Lemon Mint.

  • bennybennyta says:

    My guy Steven with a great list again. My favorite Mancera is Instant Crush because I am a sucker for BR540 type of fragrances. I am from NY, USA. Hopefully, I can win the giveaway.

  • mdellaroc says:

    I believe it was Steven that turned me on to Mancera originally. I have to say my very favorite, at least so far, has got to be Hindu Kush! It is exquisite if you ask me. I know I would like red tobacco, but Sicily is probably up my alley too. Ah, too many scents to choose from. Good thing you can order travel sizes! In maryland.

  • Tbird35 says:

    I’ve been wanting to purchase a bottle of a Mencera fragrance I just can’t decide so I purchased their discovery set and I still can’t decide. So, with the combination of Stevens review of his favorites and this article I think I’ve narrowed it down to two. If I am so lucky to win Red Tobacco then it would be down to one, Cedrat Boise. Thanks for all the info

  • Sezgin aytac says:

    I totally agree, my top picks would be cedrat Boise at no1 and red tobacco at no2, in terms of versatility I’d say cedrat boise is the most versatile and red tobacco is more for the cooler weather, fall and winter months would be most ideal. Mancera in general is one of the most affordable fragrance houses that’s niche, consumers are more likely to buy from them as it won’t break the bank.

  • Sabena Sngh says:

    This evening I saw Steve’s Redolessence video about Mancera fragrances. I have only Roses Vanilkr and am interested in adding one or two to my collection. Steve’s absolute favorite is Red Tobacco. I hope to win this bottle.

  • Alexander17 says:

    Hi, good evening

    What I liked about Steven’s YouTube video was his description of Aoud Lemon Mint, because from Mancera I only have Cedrat Boise, so I want to know how an Oud, Lemon and mint fragrance smells, oud with lemon? It does not match to me but the Steven’s description and association with Guerlain Lohomme Ideal gives me an idea, definitely a Fragrance I would like to smell.

    Regards,

  • Michael Otoo says:

    I love Mancera. Please please, please, I would like to be entered for the free giveaway. Mancera Black Gold is a dream.

  • Courtney Palmer says:

    Great list!! So much range, Mancera has a scent for any occasion! My favorite scent from the house right now is between wind wood and cedar boise

  • Daisy Perez says:

    I’m intrigued!!! I would love to smell this fragrance. I personally don’t own a Mancera fragrances but I do have my eye on a few of them.

  • goldenswan says:

    Steven’s passion and excitement is always so intoxicating in his videos. Red Tobacco is my favorite.

  • Walter Torres says:

    I enjoyed his true stories that he says along with each bottle. You can tell he knows his stuff. I would like to try red tobacco

  • Martin H says:

    First time visiting the site. Thanks Redolessence. The first Mancera I have wanted for a while now is So Blue and then the second one is Aoud Lemon Mint. I currently only have Cedrat Boise from Mancera. A fan of Steven and the late Carlos.

  • Dave Ferris says:

    Steven is one of the absolute best in the fragrance community. I have only been able to get my hands on samples of many Mancera fragrances and have yet to get a full bottle. My favorites so far are Instant Crush and Cedrat Boise (honorable mention to Red Tobacco; one of best tobacco fragrances out there). I have yet to try Sicily and Steven did a great job selling why it seems so good. I appreciate the chance to be a winner of a Mancera fragrance, thank you!

  • ariesangel408 says:

    I live somewhere far from stores that carry mancera but all of my fragrance groups talk about them and I want to try but I’m scared to spend the money and not like it. They all sound lovely and I’d be happy to win any of them. Thank you.

  • Sabena Singh says:

    Steve at Redolessence describes perfumes with detail and makes his videos enjoyable. I have had the pleasure of meeting him at various scented events. Roses Vanilla is the only Mancera perfume that is in my collection. Red Tobacco and Sicily are the two I would like. Thank you Steve for a n informative video.

  • wole2 says:

    Steven’s review was fantastic as always. Really enjoyed learning a little bit more about Aoud Lemon Mint, Sicily, and Red Tobacco. I have yet to try three, but Cedrat Boise is my pick me up/feel good scent. Thank you!

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Mancera catalog is vast, there’s a fragrance for every fragrance lover, no matter the preferences of the buyer.
    To my point, Steven showed different variety of fragrances, from fresh summer scents like Sicily, to all year rounders like Cedrat Boise and cold weather ones like Red Tobacco.
    The brand clicks with me really well , and on top of all performance is always there.
    My two favorites Wild Fruits , and Choco Violet did not made the list, but I’m not surprised, I love them, that what matters after all.
    Thank you for the opportunity, and cheers with Mulled Wine
    USA

  • Jacob Smith says:

    Loved watching Steven’s video on Mancera, as I just got a sample set of their fragrances a few days ago! So far, Red Tobacco and Aoud Lemon Mint have been my two favorites!

  • Sidney Bass says:

    I am a huge fan of this house. I have only tried decant to this point and am looking forward to collecting full bottles. Would love to start with Red Tobacco or Cedrat Boise.

  • Moe says:

    Great video from Steven as always! My first time hearing about so blue, seems worthy of a sample in my next sample order.
    I’d say my favorite manceras would have to be instant crush for the colder weather and aoud lemon mint for the warmer months.

  • junaid20950 says:

    Mancera means Quality and if I mean it if you want to gift someone really close, just go to Mancera the design is so elegant and juice is perfect worth the price we are paying for.
    I bought Cedrat Boise on 17th Feb 2022 as a Birthday gift for my really close friend. I was really regretting why I am gifting him I should take it for myself uff its so much richer and punchy.
    I own aoud lemon mint and roses vanille and its also so good.
    I am from Canada and I know I wont be able to enter in giveaway just sharing my joy
    Next ll be Red Tobacco

  • Mazikeen Smith 24 says:

    I always enjoy Steven’s review because its a combination of history, descriptions, and some experiences with the fragrance. In short it is a complete package review, and I always gravitate to these kind of reviews. Good job Steven!
    Mancera is such a great niche house for newbies moving deeper to the hobby. Great price for great juice in great amounts (ml), plus the diversity of what they can offer. Hoping to win such beautiful Red Tobacco to finally experience the number one Mancera has to offer according to Steven. Once again great complete package review!
    Cheers from USA <3 @kristiansantos24

  • Francisco Gonzalez says:

    Cedrat Boise was for my first niche fragrance and it definitely got me plenty of compliments. I have smelled a few others but nothing really stood out like cedrat. As for Steven, I always enjoy watching his fragrance reviews.

  • Savion Burke says:

    Steven has always known how best to describe a fragrance. Bought many off of his recommendation/review alone. My favourite from the Mancera line is Instant Crush at the moment. Tho I’ve smelt and own many.

  • Sav876 says:

    Steven always had a way in describing a fragrance. Such that i go out and make a purchase and I’m never disappointed. Love Mancera Instant Crush out of the many I’ve smelt and owned, it’s just sexy.

  • Luuk jeuring says:

    Hello, I love the list and I’m excited to try some of them out. I hope I will win the giveaway because I started collecting and I wanna try new fragrance brands out!

  • DOBREA RADU says:

    Mancera is my favorite niche house , a love them so much . My signature scent is Cedrat Boise .

  • Felicialoveswalter392 says:

    I think Mencerra fragrance are really great red tobacco is one of my favorites don’t get to wear it much because I have so many other l try to wear something different every day

  • GiftedProdigy says:

    Red Tobacco… warm, sweet, resinous, honey & tobacco, Mysterious Masculine…. listening to the accord breakdown of this fragrance, it sounds like it could help you talk yourself out of a beat down in the private basement of a strip club in lower SouthWest Houston Texas. I must try this asap!

  • Benny says:

    Great video Steven
    I love all your choices my favorite is cedrat boise and I also like Amber fever
    I have never got my nose on Red Tobacco but hope to now.
    USA Seattle

  • Giantsfan says:

    I absolutely love Mancera. All of its fragrances are beast mode and for a niche brand, you cannot beat the price. I own Roses and Chocolate and Roses Vanille, both of which I enjoy. I ordered a sample of Red Tobacco and immediately fell in love with it. I quickly realized that 1 Spray, 2 max, was all one needs as it is so potent. I was able to smell it in my home for days.

  • tatiperez78 says:

    I love how Steve describes these scents. I always look forward to watching his perfume reviews. I am sure intrigued to try this new fragrance Red Tabacco. I will be purchasing samples of Mancera fragrances.

  • RobSC says:

    I only own Aoud Lemon Mint from the line and the quality is amazing, so I had to see Steven’s thoughts on the other 10 in his list. I personally have wanted to get my hands on a bottle of Cedrat Boise and Red Tobacco for the longest time.

    I’m following on Instagram! @blissful_encounter

  • xoe says:

    AS usual, Stephen’s review has me wanting to try everything! I’ve never tried anything from Mancera, but I did think of them as oud-centric. It’s neat to hear of so many others. I would love to win Red Tobacco. And I AM definitely in the US.

  • drjedi says:

    Steven talked about a number of Mancera perfumes I have not tried. From the review I reckon all these are typical Mancera high quality perfumes. My favorites from Mancera are Aoud Exclusif and Black Aoud. Mancera Red Tobacco is new to me and I would be delighted to win it. Steven’s reviews are wonderful. I am a Redolessence subscriber. Thanks for the generous draw. Writing from the USA.

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    I think my favorites are Holidays, Gold Intensitive Oud, and Sicily. I have been wanting to try Red Tobacco for quite some time and I’m not sure how I haven’t gotten to it yet. Steven’s review makes me feel like a dummy for having waited so long. I love tobacco scents. Thanks for the draw, from US.

  • CuteGuy says:

    So much to explore from the house of Mancera. Some nice picks by Steven. From his top 10 I’ve tried Cedrat Boisé, Instant Crush and Sicily.
    I’ve been wanting to try Red Tobacco. Thanks, Ca

  • James says:

    I love that Steven is thorough in his reviews of the fragrances and his long stemmed love for this house. It is one of my favorite houses also. My favorites are Instant Crush, Aoud Lemon Mint, Lemon Line and Gold Prestigum. Red Tobacco is delicious as I’ve had my nose on it previously. Cherry flavoured tobacco with wintery spices – how can’t you love this one!? Deliciously happy that you have given us the opportunity for a full bottle. Thank you! USA

  • skye says:

    Thorough and enlightening review as always, Steven. My favorite Mancera is Sicily. I would love to try Red Tobacco. IG @blinkydog1999. I’m in MD, USA.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    I like Steven’s reviews a lot, he always has some interesting, extra information to add to every review, and every fragrance.
    Most of the fragrances in his top 10 I’ve smelled, and I own Cedrat Boise and Instant Crush.
    Instant Crush smells like Blood Orange, Saffron and Semolina Cake . It’s fantastic, but I’m making it only on special occasions, it’s a bit expensive to make, because of the all 100% organic saffron , buckwheat honey and rose water i use. To me it’s way better than MFK BR540 .
    Favorite Mancera without is Aoud Black Candy , you can call it transitional kind of fragrance. Love the lakritz candies accord in it. Worldwide most use “lakritz” , but in States it’s known as licorice .
    Appreciate the 10 mini reviews, and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • Tom livigni says:

    Enjoy watching Steven’s reviews. His brief review of Red Tobacco sounds great! I only have one Mancera: Hindu Kush. Their quality is great and also prices are fantastic. I would like to try Red Tobacco, Cedrat Boise and Vetiver Sensual. It would be great to win a full bottle of Red Tobacco.

  • crogersrx says:

    I had not yet encountered Mancera until watching this video by Steven Gavrielatos. I am always on the lookout for new and intriguing niche fragrances. While I am curious about the RED TOBACCO fragrance, and hope I may be the lucky winner of the give away bottle, I am currently exploring a lot of citrus fragrances – so my most likely first purchase will be BLACK LINE. Seeing these videos has lead me to some very interesting fragrances I otherwise might not have encountered.

  • crogersrx1 says:

    I had not yet encountered Mancera fragrances, so this video by Stephen Gavrielatos was a great way to encounter new niche fragrances. I am currently interested in citrus and woody scents, so the fragrance he discussed that is most interesting to me is BLACK LINE. But, I do have quite a few tobacco fragrances and would really happy if I were to win the RED TOBACCO giveaway.

  • WDJ143 says:

    My favorite from Mancera is Black Gold. Glad to see that Steven had this on his list as well…even if it was next to last. Red Tobacco, I don’t think I fully appreciated the first go . I had heard about how potent it was, and that was not my experience at all. I may have written it off prematurely. I look forward to giving it a second try. One Mancera Steven neglected was Pearl….lasts for days. Cold or warm weather.

  • Diana D says:

    I love Steven’s top 10 Mancera fragrances. Red Tobacco has been on my radar for over a year and I love his description of it. I really enjoy tobacco scents and Red Tobacco sounds beautiful with the spicy amber note. My favorite Mancera, which I was thrilled was on Steven’s top 10, is Instant Crush. I actually think Instant Crush would work beautifully layered with Red Tobacco.
    I live in the USA (PA).

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    Always a fan of Steven’s rundowns…so much detail and personal reflection as well. I haven’t tried any Mancera offerings yet but I plan on getting Aoud Lemon Mint at some point. I’d like to add Red Tobacco to that list if I could win here? Appreciate the content and the opportunity for the giveaway. Many blessings from Virginia, USA!

  • Cynthia says:

    The only thing I’ve tried is Instant Crush. In fact, I’ve introduced my daughter to it, and she’s considering it for her wedding perfume this June. I have heard a lot about Red Tobacco but I have never tried it. Thank you for the informative review. I need to study this line more.

  • JazzBelle says:

    I love Steven’s reviews. He is almost like a food critic; he knows his notes so well and he truly knows how to describe and capture the essence of the fragrances in his video reviews. I’ve tested Cedrat Boise and love it. I’m in California, USA.

  • buenabae says:

    I enjoyed Steven’s list, a nice selection of Mancera fragrances that you can wear for different occasions. I currently have samples and/or bottles of a few of his choices, like Instant Crush, Black Gold, and Aoud Lemon Mint and I enjoy them all! Although my favorite may have to be Aoud Violet, a stunning aromatic fragrance that does not get as much love as it should in my opinion. That being said, I have yet to try Red Tobacco, so I would be delighted to have the chance to win a bottle. I also recently followed your Instagram, my Instagram handle is @buenabae just as it is on here. Thank you for the opportunity.

  • Rabbi K says:

    I love fragrances, some fragrances hold special memories, and some sad memories and some hold hateful memories. Sometimes, when my day isn’t going right. I spray one of my favorite fragrances and it just puts me in a calm peaceful tranquility state of mind.

    The house of Mancera is great, each bottle is a different fragrance and captures the perfect moment for any occasion. I personally love Mancera Sicily the most. I once had a 2ml sample from this house and it’s just so fanatic. Each time I sprayed Sicily I could not stop smelling my wrist because I am a citrus person it puts me in a great uplifting mood.

  • maester_of_style says:

    I specifically enjoyed how simplistic and easy Steven explains fragrances. It’s not complex at all, especially for a novice such as myself. That’s exactly why I subscribed to his channel a few years ago for that reason alone. Personally, I have to say that Instant Crush and Cedrat Boise are my two favorites. It’s at a beginner’s level that every nose can enjoy. The scent trail is beyond amazing!

  • Mike W. says:

    I enjoyed the diversity in fragrance styles that Steven had on his list. I’m very interested to try more from the brand now. My current favorite Mancera is Instant Crush. My ig is wrm_01.

  • Kevin Pedrazs says:

    I loved Stevens selection because he varies from the many choices the brand has. I love Mancera, because one person can only collect Mancera fragrances and don´t need any other house perfumes. My favorite from them all is Lemon Line, even though it is not in Stevens list.
    I follow Redolessence since a lot time now and always appreciated his work.

  • Thomas says:

    Great reviews, I always enjoy your content!
    I finally smelled Lemon Mint on a trip last month, and was VERY pleasantly surprised! It is my current favorite from this house. To me, Lemon Mint, Sicily, Cedrat Boise, and Instant Crush are no question blind buy-able.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the excellent review Steven.

    It’s hard to find an objective review of the different Mancera’s that are on the market and I really appreciated your video.

    I love Lemon Line and Cedrat Boise.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Jorge says:

    Been a Redolessence subscriber for years always enjoy all of his top fragrances from a brand. I don’t own any Mancera colognes and Red Tobacco is at the top of my list to finally get into the house of Mancera. Hope I win the giveaway! Thank you all for the chance to enter!

  • petergigov says:

    I like the Mancera lineup Steven chose , it’s more oriented towards warmer weather i believe, but I believe in most States the Spring is right around the corner , so I was in a way expecting it.
    Sicily , Black Line , Holidays and Jardins Exclusif are new to me , I’ll try all 4.
    My favorite Mancera is Precious Oud , also I’d like to say the one that gets me the most compliments is Aoud Cafe.
    Exciting giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • Michael Prince says:

    I enjoyed Steven’s review of his top 10 Mancera Fragrances. I am very impressed with all of Pierre Montale’s Creations from Montale and Mancera that I have tried. Steven’s top 10 video of the best Manceras are some of my favorites and some that I’ve been wanting to try. Cedrat Boise has to be my absolute favorite from Mancera Parfums. I am from the USA.

    Freedom of choice in life is essential, doesn’t matter if it’s clothes, perfumes, or overall styling. Mancera have solution for your taste, and the guys who had very much the opposite taste than you. Steven showed it to all .
    Not all , but most people associate Mancera with Cedrat Boise , I own it too , just like millions of other people worldwide. Sicily and Vanille Exclusif are the other two Mancera fragrances i own.
    My favorite Mancera is Cedrat Boise
    Thanks to Steven, Michelyn and Europerfumes

    I love Steven’s knowledge and enthusiasm for his fragrance reviews. His number one fragrance Red Tobacco sounds like you have to try it after listening to him. I love Roses Vanille by Mancera. Thank you for the chance to win. USA

    Red Tobbacco and Instant Crush are the ones I’m looking to try.

    Outstanding review by Stephen on his top 10 from Mancera. I love how he breaks down the notes and scent profile. I truly want to try Red Tobacco. Thanks for the giveaway. USA, CA.

    Woody , fruity floral, spicy , marine, aromatic , ambers , Steven showed them all 🙂
    The rich tobacco, the amber and the resins is why I’d love to win Red Tobacco.
    Mancera do have a lot of fragrances, so owning 5 is not enough, I’d like to try and buy more. Aoud Black Candy + Roses and Chocolate + Sicily + Blue Notes + Choco Violet are my 5 Mancera’s.
    My favorite one is not yet in my possession , Red Tobacco, the giveaway prize
    Thanks for the draw

    Really interesting review Steven! What I enjoyed about Steven’s YouTube review of his Top Ten Mancera is how thoroughly he takes us through each fragrance, both through all their notes but also comparing to similar fragrances we might already like – such as when he compares Jardins Exclusif to Erba Pura and Kirke, both fragrances I am familiar with and enjoy. It’s really helpful to have those types of reference points and that is what makes Steven’s reviews so informative and valuable when it comes to picking out new fragrances to try. My favorite that I’ve tried so far from Mancera is Roses Greedy, a lovely sweet jammy rose, but their catalogue is so immense there are many, many I have not yet tried. I live in the US and am a Redolessence subscriber.

    I’m a long time subscriber of Steven’s, and have always appreciated his ability to so clearly describe the facets and development progression of fragrances. I feel he’s done that effectively here for his favorite scents from the Mancera line. The only scent I’ve sampled from the house is Aoud Lemon Mint, which felt unique and like it would be an interesting warm weather option. I would like to be entered into the giveaway. IL, USA. Thank you.

    “Mancera has about 47 perfumes according to Europerfumes, the US Distributor, although there may be over 70!!!”

    Correct , ~80 as far as I remember. They do have some limited editions , limited to certain countries, or Stores. A guy on Basenotes posted last year his whole Mancera collection, and to my surprise I saw fragrances not available on most famous data bases like Fragrantica .
    I like Steven’s pick , still I have to mention some things I perceive differently.
    “very rich, heady tobacco note”
    Again well said by Michelyn, Red Tobacco is rich , loud and to some even brash , I love it , but would never call it “super professional” myself
    Aoud Lemon Mint , really pleasing fragrance, but L’Homme Ideal comparison i don’t get.
    Sicily to me relies heavily on the citruses, to me it’s a tart fragrance
    I absolutely love Mancera – own 10 big bottles , and i want a lot more.Favorite Mancera fragrance….a hard one-depends of my mood.Right now i would say Wild Cherry
    All profiles I already follow
    Thanks a lot

  • Miguel says:

    Well I would love to try all the manceras but if I had to choose one it’s between aud lemon mint and red tobacco .

  • xxerrexx says:

    I enjoyed that the scents he liked almost match the scent profile I’m into right now.

    Btw, followed you guys on IG. My handle is @xxerrexx.

  • Jamie says:

    Cedrat Boise is a fragrance I would have hated two years ago, and now I am simply obsessed with it. CanNOT get enough of the woody smell that interacts with the citrus in waves.

  • Johan Ventura says:

    I love mancera Fragrances, I had a sample set and I live all of them. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to buy a bottle yet. But they are all great.

  • Keith Danielle Villegas says:
