Mancera Aoud Exclusif Review + Spicy Rose Oud Draw

photo by The Silver Fox©

Rose and oud is such a popular combination in perfumery and has been the 'perfect pair' in the Middle East for millenia. They complement each other so well.  There have been hundreds over the past few years. Do we REALLY need another Rose Oud perfume? If it smells as great as Mancera Aoud Exclusif then the answer is yes. Rose, Oud and Patchouli create a perfect trifecta.  There is an explosion of spices as well as leather and ambery touches.The twist is the fresh aromatic nuances.If you enjoy Spicy Orientals and/ or rose oud fragrances are sure to give this one a chance. It is decidedly different.

    I love the description of the various spices in the "explosion". Cardamom is a favorite. Cardamom and rose and oud and amberyiness. yes please. And I do love an androgynous fragrance. So what I loved about the review and why I'd like to win a tester. Though this was published on 3/7 and it says the drawing closes on 2/10. I don't know if this is even a possiblity. But just in case, I would like to win it!

  • Jake smith says:

    Sebastian did an amazing job of describing this fragrance as always! I recently got a sample aoud exclusif and it is sooo good! The oud profile in this is the best out of all the mancera fragrances and they are one of my favorite houses! All 3 releases in the exclusif line were really good. Thank you for the giveaway and keep up the good work! I am in the USA in AZ.

  • yungcherrypops says:

    Loved Sebastian's review as always because it's short, sweet, and to the point but always highly evocative and descriptive! I love the house of Mancera, and own a bottle of Cedrat Boise and decants/samples of Red Tobacco, Wind Wood, and Hindu Kush. Nothing I've tried from them has disappointed, and I wouldn't expect this one to either. For that reason, and because I love rose and oud fragrances (Ex Nihilo's Thirty-Three being my favorite, I'd love to win this giveaway! Alabama, USA. Youtube name is Nathan Cherry. 

  • fazalcheema says:

    Sebastian seems impressed with Aoud Exclusif. It is rose and oud but also with lot of spices, pathcouli, and amber. He also believes this is unisex. I am in US.

  • Mary Shean says:

    Love how Sebastian describe Mancera Aoud  Exclusif. The rose and Oud perfect blend making it a  unisex fragrance.. Also the spices Amber Sounds like a great Oriental. It's one of his favorites, love his reviews and trust him. Thank you for this opportunity with this giveaway.

  • Artur says:

    I love Sebastian’s reviews. I like that this oud/ rose combo is unique with added aromatic and spice accords as well as ambery touches. I like oud and rose perfumes, especially if it is different take on those notes that is why I would love to own it. My favorite Mancera fragrance is Cedrat Boise. (Illinois)

  • Mary Shean says:

    Love how Sebastian describes Mancera Aoud Exclusif.The rose and Oud blend really well. It can be Unisex. The spices Amber nice rich Oriental fragrance. TRUST all his reviews. Thank you for having this giveaway. From USA

     

  • Bill says:

     Sebastian described it as an explosion of spices . His reviews are always point on  & he does an amazing job analizing the product. I would really enjoy a bottle here in south central USA , Arkansas to be exact !

  • aud604 says:

    Mmmm sounds wonderful!  Sebastian is great.  As usual, he paints the perfect picture of the fragrance.  I don't have any rose fragrances yet, this would be the perfect addition to my collection.  I also don't have any Mancera yet!  USA

  • vin K says:

    Sebastian is right Mancera makes great Rose/Oud fragrances which are lush and redolent with a sultry rose note but paired with masculine spices and oud to create a wonderful bouquet of a fragrance. 

  • JohnCarlo says:

    Sebastian ALWAYS describes a scent to the fullest, and with honesty and professionalism. I have only tried Red Tobacco from this line and really love it. Would love to try more…and own some too !!!!

  • Collins4.7 says:

    I love the enthusiam that sebastian brings to this video and does so genuinley. My personal favorite Mancera is Aoud Orchid which I recently got a sample of, I'd love to win the bottle of Aoud Exclusive becuase I'm interested to see how the rose come across.  

  • Erick Waweru says:

    I have never owned an oud fragarance and this one sounds very exclusive and pleasant smell..i.love the way sebastian reviews his fragrances.

  • Brandon says:

    I enjoyed how descriptive he was about the fragrance. It left me in dire need of smelling! His way of explaining how this fragrance smells is captivating! I’d love to win this bottle.

  • Ray S. says:

    The description Sebastian uses beyond oud & rose makes it an interesting fragrance to try.  I have only tired Red Tobacco and liked it. I would like to win this bottle so I can compare it to other Oud/Rose fragrances in my collection.  I live in the United States.

  • Steve A. says:

    I love the listing of the bottom notes. Nice description of the perfume's stages. I'm wondering what the violet in this mixture is like. I don't yet have a fave from the line.  US

  • Ivan.napoleon says:

    Im a big fan of Mancera and montale. Id love to win this Sebastián s review perfect as usual and my fav Mancera would be cedrat boise. Miami Florida Thanks 

  • Christie says:

    I've never tried an oud fragrance.  I'm oud-a-phobic.  🙂  But Sebastian described this fragrance so well, I think it's time to try something outside my norm.  Thanks, I'd be excited to win. In the USA.

  • Cuttyj77 says:

    I have not had the chance to try any fragrance from the house of Mancera yet, but am looking to purchase a smaller ML of Red Tobacco to try out. This also sounds intriguing and would love to try it. Sebastian gave a great review of the fragrance, as he always does. Cheers. 

    Ps. Not sure why the draw close date is listed as 2/10/19, when the review was just posted a few hours ago today??

  • gtabasso says:

    I must have. I don't own any Mancera but I love rose, oud, spice, amber and especially big jammy roses. Mmmmmmmmmm. Licking lips! Rose is my fave note. I love how Sebastian says, "Do we really need another rose-oud combo? Yes, if it's as good as this one. And, it's one of the best he's sampled." I also love patch and violet. Ooooh. 

  • INYA says:

    Sebastian describes this fragrance as warm, spicy and with frash aromatics. I'd love to try it. My favorite Mancera is Red Tobacco. Thanks for the draw. USA 

  • trsamyr says:

    Here again from one of Sebastian’s lovely reviews. I own Hindu Kush from this house and could not have clicked faster seeing a rose and oud fragrance from Mancera being reviewed by Sebastian. I love the way he’s differentiated the spice profile here from the many other similarly heart noted fragrances. I would love to win a bottle, as it seems like an almost magical thing, to spray yourself with something mood-changing that you’ve won. I’m in Illinois, USA. 

  • Cicatriz says:

    I am newly obsessed with fragrances, specifically niche house fragrances because i find their composition(s) more interesting than some of the designer fragrances i grew up with and Sebastian does an incredible job not just reviewing these and all frags but also has introduced me to an entire world of smaller, lesser known, and niche houses to research. I used to think that rose fragrances seemed stuffy but have had my mind (and nose) blown by some recent huffs from a few different houses (january scent project, Xerjoff) thanks to Sebastians incredibly informative review vids. I would absolutely love to get my hands and nose on a bottle of something, anything from Mancera. The thought of rose, patchouli, amber, tabacco, and oud is just SO INTRIGUING !!!

     

  • Alen says:

    Sebastian review was great as always. Mancera is an amazing house with several good offerings like cedrat boise or aoud vanille. I loved the photo of this new release from the start, the color juice is eye catchy. I would love to try this, thank you for the chance.

  • Just Add Light says:

    Cedrat Boise and Red Tobacco are probably my favourites from the brand, but Mancera really does have so many great options.  Love that 'explosion of spices' description.  lol  Funny to see that actually listed in Sebastian's review.  Wasn't really expecting the juxtaposition of the warm-spicy and fresh, but if Sebastian is down, then so am I.  Never heard of an aoud being 'fresh', so I'd definitely love to experience it!  USA.

  • leilawaleila says:

    Hi, I’ve never smelled this house before. Sebastian’s reviews are always so metaphorical, I love them!!! I’d like to win to get familiarized with this house and also I’m a big fan of rose+oudh. Thank you!!

  • citizenkage says:

    I have been looking at a few niche houses including Mancera. I have never owned a niche fragrance and was looking at a few of the less expensive ones to start off with. This fragrance and many others like Cedrat Boise sound fantastic and I would love to try them. As i have just recently gotten back into acquiring some new fragrances, I have been drawn to Sebastian's youtube reviews. He has an obvious passion for fragrances and I appreciate that and his honesty.

  • Jay S says:

    Big fan of MFK's Oud Silk Mood. Sebastian said, "do we need another rose/oud combination? " He said it's one of the best and I want to see how these 2 fragrances compare. Loved that he stated it's unisex.

  • Jcs9251 says:

    Thank you for doing this giveaway!!! Sebastian said, "do we need another rose/oud combination." This is one of the best in his opinion. I would love to win a bottle of this because I'm a big fan of MFK's Oud Silk Mood and I would to see how they measure up against each other. Just got into niche fragrances.

  • kb1993 says:

    I love how detailed Sebastian does his reviews and how honest he seems to be in his feedback. I have not got to try any mancera fragrances yet  but I would love a test bottle of this because I'm still trying to learn what notes I like and this could possibly be a new love! I am located in the US

  • Pato Loco says:

    I enjoyed Sebastion's description of this fragrance. Current favorite Mancera is Cedrat Boise. Would like to win this drawing to explore the rode oud scent composition. Oregon, USA.

  • zeefat says:

    Hi, Adedoyin here.

    Mancera/montale house has been my favorite house so far. I am pretty new in the niche game and my favorite is mancera black to black. I would be pleased if i win this bottle of aoud exclusif. Sebastian has been my major influence on my choice of perfume and i like his " straight to the point" delivery…nice job 

  • Suzan Abdallah says:

    Suzan from Delaware USA. I loved Sabastians review and couldn’t keep my eyes of that rich looking juice. t I’m sure I’ll win because…positive vibes! My faves from Mancera are of course Oud Vanille, roses vanille, rose Oud musc, and roses Jasmin ❤️❤️❤️ Red and rich rose and strong Oud are my two favorite notes in perfumes in general. I truly hope I’ll win this it will make my year.

  • Gabriel Garcia says:

    That perfume bottle sure looks beautiful, Sebastian and I love the rose and oud combination, mancera makes perfumes that are just loaded with charm and character. 

    Las Vegas NV 

  • johnham says:

    It amazes me how Sebastian can eloquently distinguish Mancera's Aoud Exclusif from hundreds of other Oud/Rose fragrances out there. The way he describes Mancera's Aoud Exclusif can be compared as to I am listening to a full symphony orchestra concert. Oud and Rose combination is like Woodwind and Brass ensemble in music. Sebastian is a true fragrance connoisseur and there is a definite reason why there are many people respect him. I am quite curious to study if this one can stand its own place along with Black to Black and Black Intensitive Aoud whom are King/Queen of Rose/Oud section of House of Mancera. -John Ham located in Boston MA

  • Gabriel Garcia says:

    Great review spotlight Sebastian, I also love the combination of roses and ouds, mancera just makes perfumes that are just loaded with charm and character. 

    Las Vegas NV 

  • Asha_30us says:

    Amazing review as always Sebastian. The trio of rose, oud and patchouli sounds amazing!!! I love his pure honesty regarding the combination of oud and rose combo fragrances that this deserves to be there. Would love to add this to my collection because I love Jo Malone's Velvet Rose and Oud fragrance. 

  • Taj Porter says:

    My favorite is Velvet Vanilla from Mancera. I always love their sweet releases but Sebastian has me intrigued with the Rose, Oud and slightly sweet combo. Very interesting!!

  • MarlonF says:

    I am hoping it smells as good as the description. Aoud Exclusive! I have a couple of rose oud blends, Lyric Man, Oud Silk Mood, And Gold rose Oud. I love them all. I am sure this will be just as good. Sebastian is one I trust for the best scents. Marlon, Houston, Tx.

     

  • Kaleb C says:

    I always enjoy Sebastian’s honesty in his videos! I actually love this fragrance. A friend of mine before I move had a bottle. It’s been on my “Want that” list for a while.

  • Michael says:

    Sebastian, great review of Mancera AOUD EXCLUSIF. I love Rose/Oud fragrances with the warm and oriential spices. I have not sampled Aoud Excluif, but it sounds like an amazing fragrance. Thank you for the great review, content, and the giveaway.

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Great description by Sebastian-the best Youtube reviewer.Exposion of beautiful oriental spices  …juicy,  jammy , intense rose , oud , violet , patch and a bit of vanilla in the base   WOW
    Happy owner of 120ml Choco Violet – a birthday gift form my brother.Absolutely love this one , but that’s the only Mancera fragrance i’ve smelled up until now.
    Tnx for the draw – much appreciated.
    Long time follower of Sebastian ,Cafleurebon and Mancera on Instagram.I also follow @Offical_ europerfumes for like …. ~3 months.
    Cheers from VA

  • Krell says:

    I have red tobacco because I read about it and saw Sebastian’s video on Cafleurebon Would love yo win Mancera Aoud exclusif. Spicy explosion got me 

     

  • Tony T says:

    I don't have any Mancera fragrances, yet. Sebastian did a great job explaining the balance between the warm and fresh touches, so I would definitely like to add Aoud Exclusif to my collection. I'm in the US.

  • dextercharles85 says:

    As always the descriptive breakdown of the fragrance Sebastian is reviewing is awesome. How he conveys the impact of the rose as big, juicy and beefy with spice floating around and it having this juxtaposition of feminine rose with masculine oud, has me wanting to give it a serious wearing. My favorite Mancera would have to the So Blue bc it has this bright sparkling freshness but a few hours in out if nowhere you are hit by this beautiful rose and its just gorgeous. I would love to win the tester of Aoud Exclusif bc I'm a big fan of the rose & oud combo and at the beginning of my fragrance journey I never would have thought that would be the case. Thx for the chance to win.

  • cwoody says:

    Jammy rose and spicy oud?! Yesssss! I really enjoyed how Sebastian talked about the fragrance transforming while it dries down. A favorite Mancera of mine would be Cedrat Boise. I would like to win because I don't own a rose/oud fragrance and this one sounds like one of the best! Thanks for the opportunity! USA

  • rvarnum says:

    I would love to give this scent a try. I love those spices and I think I love oud. I've tried several scents with oud but I'm not exactly sure what it smells like. Any thing from Mancera has to be good.

     

  • Hasib says:

    Enjoyed the short and sweet review. A blast of spices with a juicy rose and light Oud in the back. This one sounds great. I’ve only smelled Cedrat Boise from this House and really like it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks, U.S

  • Caliwas says:

    I always appreciates Sebastian's review as he explains the various spices and the rose blend. This one really makes me excited about the composition. I would truly love to get my little nose on this one. I only tried Cedrat Boise from the house. I live in CA, USA.

  • drewactor says:

    Another good review by Sebastian.  I enjoy how Sebastian always talks about most all the notes in the fragrance and which ones are more powerful and stand out.  Love the spicy notes along with the rose and oud sounds very good.  I have actually never tried mancera before but love oud and I am getting more into rose fragrances so combining the two sounds great.  Thanks for the review and opportunity to win.

  • Sean Yang says:

    I like Sebastian's context of his review in the sea of oud+rose perfumes and that he found this unique and worthwhile. I don't have a fav. Mancera perfume and that's why I'd like to try this one if I win. Thanks for the review and draw.

  • Gig84 says:

    Mr. Jara at his best – always honest, straight to the point . Viewers could easily get what he really thinks about certain fragrance. Obviously he likes Aoud Exclusive. Rose , oud and patchouli is always a great combination… of course if it’s done the right way. Throw some vanilla into the mix, and you got a winner. Mysterious one to be precise according to Mr. Jara . Mancera do have a lot of fragrances, and I’m a bit new to the house despite the fact I own 2 full bottles- Aoud Black Candy + Roses and Chocolate, and 2 decants – 20ml of Aoud Orchid and 20ml of Sicily- my favorite one. I’ll get full bottle once my decant is gone. Tnx to all involved in this great giveaway. USA 

  • Diana D says:

    I've never tried any Mancera fragrances. But after watching Sebastian's review, I have definitely added this to my wish list. It sounds amazing! Loads of spices, and of course, rose, with that gorgeous drydown of oud, vanilla and musk. This truly sounds magnificent!

    I live in the USA.

  • Onyinye says:

    Sebastian’s reviews are always full of the right information. I enjoyed how he described the notes and conveys the message across. I love rose fragrances and would definitely be overjoyed if I were to win this. I do not have a favorite Mancera fragrances. 

    I live in USA. 

  • NiceVULady says:

    I don't have a favorite Mancera fragrance, but this certainly sounds fantastic.  I say this about all of Sebastian's reviews..they are specific and extremely descriptive.  This would be awesome to win.  Thanks for the draw and another great review by Sebastian,  I'm in the USA

  • jbasham says:

    I like how Sebastian describes and how he almost takes you through a sensory journey with his videos. This was no different. This combo sounds intoxicating. Spicy notes, the powerful oud, the softness of the rose. Sounds wonderful to me. Thanks for the chance 

  • billjon says:

    I enjoy and admire Sebastian's passion.  I do not have a favorite Mancera fragrance.  I would like to win because the description sounds so wonderful to me.

  • Karen says:

    I like the description of the progression of the scent over time. I also love rose and Oud. I only have 4, so I need to catch up. I haven’t tried Mancera yet, but it’s on my list when I end my self imposed ban on buying perfume.

  • Kyle Stevens says:

    I would love to get this. Black to Black and Aoud Vanille are the only ones I have 

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Thank you Europerfumes and Cafleurebon for this draw , and of course Sebastian for the review.
    Again a great job by one of the best,if not the best Youtube reviewer.I do follow Sebastian since the early days of his old channel.
    Cozy , spicy , juicy,  jammy , with  rose , oud , patchouli  and sprincles of vanilla – classic combination we all love.Sounds great – as a big Mancera fan i have to sample it.
    As i said i love the house – own 9 120ml bottles , and i want a lot more.Favorite Mancera fragrance….a hard one-depends of my mood.Right now i would say Wild Cherry , but tomorrow could be a different one.
    By the way my girlfriend LOVES Aoud Cafe on me.
    I do follow all of you on IG -cafleurebon , Sebastian, Europarfums and Mancera.

  • doveskylark says:

    I like the image of an explosion of spices leading  to a garden of roses. This fragrance, with its cumin and cardamom and a jammy rose, sounds like a real attention grabber. I have never tried anything from this house, but have heard Mancera fragrances last and last on the skin. 

    I live in the USA.

  • Charles M says:

    Sebastian one of the very best at breaking down notes. I'm a big fan of rose aoud and or oud. I have several and agree that the two notes make for some of the best smelling in the business and one cant have enough in their collection.  I'm really intrigued and looking forward to trying this near future. TY for entering me in this draw

  • LauraC says:

    A combination such as rose, oud, patchouli, and spices is certain to please! Even the color of the perfume is lovely! Thanks, Sebastian! (USA)

  • Ian says:

    I love Sebastian’s review of Mancera Aoud Exclusif because of the way he described the fragrance note by note. I sampled this perfume and fell in love with it. There are many Rose/oud out there but yet this one has its own personality.  The quality of the kid and the combination of amber, slices, vanilla and patchouli makes this perfume take on its own personality. I loved the this juice from the sample I tried. I wish to own it because I love oud, but here it is wonderful. But it is a little hard for me to afford. 

  • Eirik H. says:

    I totally agree with Sebastian's review that this a rose/oud to be added to anyone's collection. Having tried a sample of this from Luckyscent, I was quite taken aback by this luscious combination of roses and spices bolstered with oud and vanilla. Sebastian describes it quite well. It would be an honor to win this bottle. Thanks for such a generous giveaway Sebastian! Oregon, USA

  • Mwpahl1 says:

    This is an absolutely amazing fragrance and I would love to own it! I had the opportunity to smell it last weekend and had quite a visceral reaction to it(which doesn't happen too often).. an absolute masterpiece, though I get more of the oud out front then the rose. I am in Michigan, United States. Feel free to make me the winner!
