Mancera Instant Crush Review + Crush on You Draw

Mancera Instant Crush Review

Do you remember your first crush? For me, his name was Gary and I was 6. I couldn’t believe I liked him because he was always tugging at my hair and I had to fight back the tears, (I kicked him in the knees when he called me “Tire Girl) but then he went to kiss me. People, like fragrances grow on you and then boom… you can’t stop thinking about them, and in the case of perfume wearing them.That was the case with Mancera Instant Crush.  I had read about it but was skeptical as I thought it might smell like something I had tried, but it is distinctive.  It opens with a big burst of sparkling citrus spiced just right with saffron. What I enjoy the most about Instant Crush is the creamy sandalwood base and that sexy sillage at the base.

    I love Hindu Kush as being a Hindu myself i had to buy that and I never regret it. Mancera instant crush seems a perfect perfume as Sebastian mentioned it has Mandarin and Bergamot along with Saffron. Anything with Saffron catches my attention instantly. Plus vanilla and coconut

    Like Sebastian even I find the name of the fragrance bit catchy and me being 80s kid would love to own one of this bottle too

    I am from USA
    Sunny

    Thanks for another opportunity to win something, you guys are great

  • fazalcheema says:

    Instant Crush also seems inspired by the east with notes like Saffron. However, it also keeps in mind the current trend for fresh so infuses fresh notes with sensual warm notes. My fav. from Mancera is Cedrat Boise. I am in US

  • Darian Alexander says:

    I have tried a sample of Instant crush from my local retailer here in New York City and of all the fragrances I’ve come across in that Boutique of exclusive masterpieces, Mancera Instant Crush dominated my thoughts and senses. I don’t even remember how I got home that day. My previous favorite from Mancera was Wild Candy before I depleted the bottle. I was so excited to see Sebastian’s new video on ‘Instant Crush’ and he did the fragrance absolute justice and could not have illustrated the fragrance any better.

  • C K says:

    I really enjoyed Sebastians review and especially his description of the dry down and the sillage. I haven’t tried any Mancera fragrances but do have a sample of Cedrat Boise on the way! I would love to win this because it sounds amazing the notes r right up my alley and I really like fragrances and want to build a collection but dont have much money to do so. My first crush was in 5th grade and she became my first girlfriend! But after that happened we barely spoke besides on the phone cuz we were so shy about it lol. Thanks for the giveaway and for your hard work. From CT USA.

  • Making Perfect Scents says:

    Sebastian’s reviews are done in a way that you can understand and get a feel for a composition. Ever time I have purchased a fragrance from his reviews, its been great.
    Mancera has several great fragrances and it’s hard to have one favorite. I enjoy the most Red Tobacco and Cedrat Boise…

  • Headhunter says:

    I just started my journey on Niche fragrances…and this one sounds like it’s going to be a hit from this Fantastic house of Mancera☀️

  • Tyler J Sweeney says:

    I’ve recently started exploring mancera (cedrat boise and aoud blue notes) and I’m obsessed with what I’ve tried so! I’m curious to keep my adventure going and with Sebastian mention the trail and sillage on this one I am beyond intrigued!

  • Oscar Villalobos says:

    I’ve never wanted a vanilla frag as much as this before. As always, Sebastian makes me excited for a fragrance that I’ve yet to try. I’ll actively be looking for decants or samples of instant crush.

  • Ethan Toledo says:

    I like how Sebastian describes his fragrances this one he described as sparkly like “fireworks” in the opening. My favorite mancera is Cedrat Boise as common as it is. I want to have a new favorite from this brand since it’s hard for me to find the right price of the fragrances from the line that I like.

  • Xochitl says:

    I have enjoyed many manceras…this review has got me interested in getting my nose on instant crush

  • leah nunally says:

    The only Mancera fragrance I have tried is Cedrat Boise and I really like the woody notes in that one. I have wanted to try others just based on the quality of Cedrat Boise (which I believe was recommended by Sebastian in another video). What I liked most about this review was the way he describes the sillage from this fragrance. How each of the notes leave a trail that draws people to you. I really want to try this one because it has so many notes that I love, basically all my favorites.

  • john lowery says:

    Sebastian always tells how the fragrance smells the emotions it invokes. I’ve only sampled Mancer’s rose chocolate parfum, which I loved. I’d be over the moon to own a bottle of Instant Crush.

  • Emmanuel Boansi says:

    +I enjoyed the part about the creamy Woody dry down that’s to die for if I win it.
    +My faorite Mancera is Hindi Kush.
    +I will be glad to win this bottle because of sillage and the sexiness.
    +My first crush was called Sandra and I met her in middle school sucks we didn’t get to be in a relationship.

  • Civil says:

    I enjoyed his descriptive words. I love cedrat Boise and would love to try instant crush. The ginger sounds fun!

  • Chuckg says:

    My favorite Mancera is Cedrat Bois. I love this brand but it’s really hit or miss with me. Sebastian’s description of the “creamy coconut “ is a real plus. Love coconut in the dry-down. Thank you for the opportunity. Kentucky, USA

  • INYA says:

    Saffron? Ginger? I’m all in! Sebastian, thanks …. added to my wishlist. I enjoy Red Tobacco and Hindu Kush! My first crush had blond hair. The girls and I chased him around the grade school playground. ;D

  • Linda says:

    If Instant Crush smells anywhere close to what I imagine, I will love it! I am intrigued by Sebastian’s talk of the ‘trail’. This sounds like the perfect summer and happy scent, with a little mystery. I live in Connecticut and we need a niche style perfume shop nearby, so perfumes can be experienced in person.

  • nmcnick says:

    Sebastian- I loved your video! I always enjoy your content. I actually didn’t know Montale and Mancera were sister houses which TOTALLY makes sense. I always enjoy hearing information on the houses and your knowledge of fragrance with these reviews. I actually haven’t tried any Mancera fragrances but the notes of Instant Crush sound amazing. This fragrance is definitely one that I would love to have just for the accords alone. I’d also love to try this house out.

    Thank you for your giveaway and review!

  • Dami says:

    I haven’t tried Mancera fragrances before but I like the idea of a citrus spiced with saffron laying on a base of smooth, creamy sandalwood. I still remember my first crush when I was 14 years old… Thank you for the opportunity! I live in the USA.

  • Richard Alley says:

    What I always like most about Sebastians reviews is rhat he describes the fragrances really well. TX. USA

  • saff1 says:

    Great review by sebatian as always. Would love to get my hands on this. My favorite from mancera is cedrat boise. From NY

  • Christie L says:

    I am a huge fan of Sebastian’s Youtube channel and love all of his perfume reviews and recommendations! My favourite Mancera perfume has to be Roses Vanille, it is so interesting as I never thought I would enjoy wearing a vanilla fragrance but the first time I smelled this perfume I was IN LOVE!
    Instant crush sounds divine, I am always a huge fan of saffron perfumes (my current saffron pick is Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat) and I am always looking for other unique perfumes. The blend of saffron, vanilla and sandalwood sounds like a dream come true! I always love Mancera perfumes because everytime I would wear it out, I can not stop smelling my wrist and it makes me so happy that people will come up to me and ask what perfume I’m wearing! I also love sharing new fragrances with people, and it is the easiest way to make new friends!
    I remember my first crush, it was a boy named Alex who lived two houses away from mine where I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia. I was around 10 years old, and we would ride our bikes around the neighborhood and play with his dog in the evenings before dinner. At the age of 10, I had no idea how crushing on someone felt and to hide my crush I remember acting really weird and mean around him (at one point running away whenever I saw him on the street). Ah, to be young and in love.

  • David Barta says:

    Sebastian described the different stages settling into a musky/woody scent that sounds so interesting. I would love an opportunity to win a bottle.

  • MarkyMark5d says:

    Mancera is a really underrated house. Their fragrances can be found on the cheap like under or around 60 bucks!
    Sebastian is a master reviewer and reviews fragrances and houses that no one talks about. It would be wise to check him out all you collectors out there!

  • Jeff G. says:

    Thanks for the chance to win. Loved the review and intro to Mancera! Sebastian always paints such a great picture of the scent. I had an instant crush on a girl in high school. When we finally kissed, her lips were softer than any I’ve kissed before. A memorable kiss for sure.

  • Bryant Worley says:

    What I enjoyed about Sebastian’s review, is the connection he made between the fragrance and John Hughes’ movies. That type of thing/visual helps to raise anticipation and desire. A favorite Mancera? Unfortunately, I’ve only tried 6 Mancera’s, and 4 of them blew me away. So, out of those 4, Aoud Blue Notes REALLY blew me away! And the reason I want to win Instant Crush, is because the combination of notes re eal that it will be really powerful smelling. Along with that, Sebastian assures that the sillage will be fantasmagorical….and who can resist that?

  • abbie says:

    gorgeous. love the note breakdown. i’d love to win to have my first mancera. this sounds like a perfect one to start on! beautiful. USA

  • Keoni says:

    I enjoy the experience of new smells/aromas. I’m always looking for a new signature smell. This could very well fill that void. I live in Hawaii and we have no place that sells or stocks any exciting fragrances. I would love to receive this beautiful fragrance. Mahalo

  • Doc2SmellG8 says:

    I always enjoy Sebastian’s reviews. The knowledge and descriptions are top notch. I like the way he helps you experience the fragrance without it being under of our noses.
    I don’t have a favorite yet, I am still within my first year of collecting so I just haven’t got there yet. I would love to win such an exciting sounding fragrance to add to my 60 or so bottles of quality fragrances. California

  • alexda275 says:

    I enjoyed the presentation of the fragrance, including the excellent notes. My favorite fragrance from the house now is Cedrat Boise. I would love to win this purchase because of the scent profile and the olfactory joy this would bring me. My first crush was a girl named January that I met in kindergarten.

  • Scented Waters 1 says:

    I like the fact that Sebastian compared Instant Crush to Hindu Kush. As of now my favorite Mancera is Wild Fruits. The similarity to Silver Mountain Water but slight fruitier aspect gets to me. In a good way lol. My first crush was Jessica Alba ‍♂️.

  • Carol Webb says:

    Sebastian’s reviews are always great, he always explains everything so well. I adore citrus scents, so I’m sure I’d love this!
    My first crush? A boy in the 8th grade, I was so very shy I never said a word to him.
    thanks for the draw, I’m in the US.

  • Lisa F Collins says:

    Sebastian is one of my top 5 favorite Fragrance Community YouTubers. His reviews are so honest and I know I can depend on his take. I don’t have a favorite Mancera because I haven’t tried any. My first crush…Bo Duke from the TV show Dukes of Hazzard.

  • drewactor says:

    Great review as always by Sebastian. I like a fragrance that leaves a nice scent trial and this one sounds like a winner in that regard. I have tried Hindu Kush and liked it so I am glad to see this one shares similarities with that and Aoud Exclusive, which I also enjoy. Also glad to see musk as a note as I have gotten into that note as well. In the USA and my fav Mancera is Cedrat Boise. Thanks for the giveaway.

  • lieback18 says:

    I loved how Sebastian talked about fireworks in the beginning of the video also The creaminess of the vanilla and sandalwood and the scent trail description really has me wanting to wear this one !!

  • juliaaaaa says:

    Would like to enter the giveaway! I love how Sebastian explained the evolution and how different notes play together. Sounds really intriguing!

  • Kyuu says:

    Mancera has a great many fragrances I enjoy so I always pay attention to their new releases. They always have great performance. My first crush was my babysitters daughter as a child ha! Thanks again! USA

  • gtabasso says:

    What you enjoyed about Sebastian’s YouTube review? I like when he talked about the John Hughes movies of the 80s. If you have a favorite Mancera fragrance: I do not. I have tried:
    Aoud Violet
    Choco Violet
    Black to Black
    Sand Aoud
    Aoud Cafe and think all are okay but not loves. and why you would like to win a bottle of Instant Crush (120 ml/ $180). I would like to fall for a Mancera and citrus with saffron sounds amazing. Who was your first crush? I don’t remember my first crush. Probably some actor on TV or a musician. So long ago now. I’m in USA.

  • rva3215 says:

    Sebastian Has one of the Fragrance channels on YouTube he is the reason I bought Cedrat Boise and I love it it’s my favorite right now and would love to try this one

  • rva3215 says:

    Sebastian Is one of the best YouTube Fragrance reviews and he is the reason I bought Cedrat Boise and I would love to try this..

  • Scott Wilbur says:

    I agree with Seb. Mancera has truly upped their game recently… Ahh, my first crush…. Woodhue by Faberge!

  • Nathank says:

    Sebastian said it was sexy that’s good enough for me lol, my favorite Mancera fragrance is Aoud Blue Notes cause I like fruit,
    I like how Sebastian describes fragrances and I would love to win this fragrance because I can’t always afford to feed my addiction lol. 😀

  • Eirik H. says:

    The thing I liked most about this video is the fact of Sebastian stating that this fragrance comes alive in the heat. With all these notes, I think it would be a great summertime scent that isn’t overly citric or aquatic. My favorite Mancera fragrances are Hindu Kush, Red Tobacco, and Black to Black. Thanks so much for this review and generous giveaway! I’m in Oregon, US.

  • Jehill99 says:

    Personally I love how Sebastian breaks down the different notes all the fragrance. He’s very descriptive and it always for some reason makes me consider gettinga decent to test. I only have Cedrat Boise from Mancera which I really enjoy, but I would like to win to help expand my scent variety and get more into the floral and rose type of profile. If you really want to know my first crush was Janet Jackson!

  • wildevoodoo says:

    Wow, the notes in this sound amazing. I love saffron and the idea of it mixing with the ginger and sparkly citrus in the opening sounds gorgeous! The milky coconut cream aspect of the sandalwood and vanilla developing out of and mingling with the rose sounds fantastic as well. I never would have thought to relate it to a John Hughes film title, but now that Sebastian says so, I can totally see it! Instant Crush sounds like an amazing summer fragrance that would also work in transitional summer-to-fall weather, and it also contains some of my favorite notes, so I’d love to win a bottle. I’ve been meaning to get my hands on Mancera Red Tobacco for awhile now as well, so I’ll go watch Sebastian’s view of that next. My first crush was a classmate from elementary and middle school! We told each other we both liked each other the summer after 5th grade, and we kissed later that summer. We were just kids and of course nothing ever came of it, but we still keep in touch sometimes! I am in the US 🙂

  • citizenkage says:

    My favorite part of Sebastian’s review was when he said the name brings him back to the 80’s and reminds him of old John Hughes movies. I loved that because I’m a huge movie buff and I love movies of the 80’s. I love the nostalgia of it. Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck. These are all cinematic classics and I love that Sebastian referenced them. I’ve only tried a few from Mancera, with my favorite being Cedrat Boise. Instant Crush sounds amazing, and speaking of crush my first true crush was a girl named Laura. I’d love to win this bottle because I love a good sandalwood base with a nice sillage. Thank you for the opportunity. From FL, USA.

  • Augustus says:

    I’m super curious to try Instant Crush because I’m a fan of Mancera and this seems to be their take on the Baccarat Rouge DNA, which sounds very promising and Sebastian sold me when he mentioned the Hindu Kush connection! I love that one. Other favorites are Cedrat Boise on the more masculine side, and Roses Vanille which is my wife’s favorite.

  • Jesse Livingston says:

    I loved Sebastian’s review of this fragrance and it has me dying to try it! I’ve never had the luxury of trying any Manceras, so if I won this giveaway, I would be ecstatic!! But good luck to everyone entering this giveaway as well (:

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    No doubt we love your stile Sebastian .
    Instant Crush sounds really good with juicy citruses , saffron , mandarin with rose and coconut in the base. Beautiful.
    Oh good to know Instant Crush goes through a lot of stages too .
    Mancera is a house i really like , Aoud Lemon Mint i’m wearing right now.
    Happy owner of 120ml Choco Violet – a birthday gift form my brother. From the four Mancera bottles i own right now , Choco Violet is my favorite.
    My first crush wow I had similar story to the one Michelyn told us. My hair he never touched , but war pouring cups of cold water in my back.
    Thanks for the draw

  • abmillerhs says:

    My favorite Mancera is Cedrat Boise which I am lucky enough to own. I love how Sebastian breaks down and describes the many stages of Instant Crush as it develops on the skin. I’d love to win this bottle as it is complex and features notes of saffron, rose, and sandalwood which are some of my favorite notes. Can’t wait to get my nose on this one; hopefully sooner rather than later.

  • Ron says:

    I love the excitement and attention to detail Sebastián brings to his reviews. My favorite mancera so far is Cedrat Boise. I’d like to win a bottle because it sounds like something I’d really like.

  • Brandon Price says:

    Sebastian always has a way of making me interested in the fragrances he reviews. Instant Crush sounds very interesting and I’d love to try it.

  • Arturo Juarez says:

    I own Red Tabaco and Amber and Roses from Mancera. I love the quality of their products. I would love to own This one because I blindly trust Sebastian on his reviews, comments and great taste. Greetings from Ohio. Thank you.

  • Nima says:

    Thanks for making such wonderful videos. Really enjoy learning so much about fragrances from your reviews.

  • Ben A says:

    That sounds wonderful. Saffron + rose is a great combination. I’ve never had the opportunity to sniff any of Mancera’s fragrances, but I’d love to win a bottle of this. I’m in the USA. Thanks for the draw!

  • PatoLoco says:

    I enjoyed Sebastian’s description of the juicy citrus and sparkly silage. My favorite Mancera fragrance is Cedrat Boise. I would love to win this giveaway to experience the multiple stages of this fragrance. My first crush was a classmate in the 4th grade. Cheers!

  • hazelpex712 says:

    I liked how he described a fragrance catching someone’s attention, that’s the best whether you are wearing it or your attention is caught by another!

    I am not familiar with Mancera but the descriptions/review makes me want to check them all out.

    My first crush was Eric in elementary school, after we danced together at a Halloween dance. I wrote him a letter telling him all about it and he opened it in front of everyone and they all had a good laugh. :/

    Love the site!

  • ishy says:

    Thanks for this review of Instant Crush, Sebastian and Michelyn! A juicy sparkling citrus fireworks with a sexy sillage and creamy sandalwood sounds sooo good! My favorite Mancera is Hindu Kash. I love Sebastian’s taste in perfumes so I hope I win this. Thanks for this opportunity. – CA, USA

  • Mohammed says:

    I like Sebastian’s review, it is short, sweet, n informative as always. I do enjoy a lot of Mancera offerings. Cedrat Boise n red tobacco are my favorites. Hopefully I can get my hands on this one.

  • Michael Prince says:

    Sebastian, another great review of Mancera Instant Crush. I feel like I have an Instant Crush based on the YouTube Video and your review here. A perfectly blended fragrance that has a little bit of everything. A sparkling citrus and spicy opening, a floral heart, and a creamy, woody, sweet, and musky base. It sounds perfect and I am praying to win this giveaway. I am from the USA.

  • Barber82 says:

    I need this beauty in my life. Happy and uplifting multipurpose kind of fragrance , that’s how I feel about Instant Crush , after watching Mr. Jara review.
    My favorite Mancera is Black Vanilla, closely followed by Cedrat Boise. If you’re into fragrances, you know Cedrat Boise well, smelled it, or at very least heard the name, but I don’t get why Black Vanilla doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Smells so good , but almost no one takes about it .
    Of course I remember my first crush Elena. She’s a big shot in Lufthansa now , and I became a Barber 🙂
    Thank you all for the giveaway

  • Nick W says:

    My first crush was a beautiful girl named Michelle that I met in 3rd grade. She never would go out with me when I bugged her. A few years later I moved to a different school in the same county and I saw her in one of my classes. The bus routes had changed so she had to change schools. I thought it was destiny! So I kept annoying her with letters and stuff and she resumed rejecting me for the next year or two. Ffwd another 5 or 6 years and I ran into her at the beauty salon she worked at and she gave me a hug! We talked for a bit catching up like semi adults and I didn’t ask her out.. haha. I was just excited she hugged me. I guess she got over her fear of cooties. We both eventually married off and now we are in our late 30s and I haven’t seen her since I was about 19 other than on fb a few years ago, but I’ll always remember how big of a crush I had on her. Should I have asked her out the last time I seen her? Would she have turned me down then too? I still wonder what could’ve been. I guess we all do sometimes.

  • Lara Anderson says:

    Really looking forward to trying this fragrance. I liked Sebastian talking about what beautiful sillage it leaves from the rose and woody heart notes. Right now I have Mancera Roses Vanilla and love it but need more experience with Mancera fragrances. My first crush was on a girl named Linda and I think I was 7 at the time. We played “red light, green light” on a naval base in Japan. Great memories!

  • Ruben Lopez says:

    I currently don’t own any Mancera fragrances and by the review that Sebastian describe Mancera Instant Crush it sounds like something I would enjoy.

  • Jessica says:

    This sounds incredible and right up my alley. Mancera is quickly becoming my favorite house. Great review!!

  • Daryl Gathing says:

    I always enjoy the reviews. What I liked best is how he explained it. He has a very calm demeanor and I feel like he does the review simply for the love of fragrances. My favorite is cedrat boise and I’d love to win this bottle bc its a gorgeous bottle. Also if it smells half as good as he described it I think I’ll definitely enjoy it. My first crush was grammar school. Her name is Vita. It was instant infatuation from me. Funny story. I saw her at a restaurant when I was in high school. We chatted for a couple minutes as I was leaving. She mentioned she stayed on some street I never heard of but I knew it was on the east side of Chicago. (Only bc I was familiar with the western streets) anyway. I wrote this woman a hand written letter, got on my bike, and peddled 3 hours searching for her. I went to people’s houses on the different blocks asking if they knew anybody by the name of (not going to mention last name) I went on one porch and was greeted by a dog..!! I slowly backed away. Thankfully I didn’t get hurt. Looking back on it it seems a bit stalkerish and booty wise AT ALL..!! but, I was in love… And I was determined… I have no regrets and I look back at my little adventure with a fond memory. I’m just thankful I was safe and it was a beautiful day out. Lol. Anyway, that was my first crush. Lol.

  • K414n4 says:

    My first Mancera’s that I’ve tried was an instant crush, that was Vanille Exclusive I got hooked, bet this one would be the same. Love the way Sebastian describes this scent with such details and links to other fragrances <3

  • Dave Lewin says:

    Sebastian is always so detailed in his descriptions of the fragrances. the discription of Instant crush is so amazing can’t wait to put my nose on this one. Black Gold is one of my favorites from the house. Hope to start a mancera collection!

  • gathinda says:

    I meant to say “not wise” my phone typed it “booty wise” lol. I should have proofread.

  • andres135 says:

    To be honest if I win Mancera Instant Crush
    It would be my first perfume from the house of Mancera fragrance and what I enjoy about sebastian’s YouTube review is that he has great advices on colognes I would delighted to win Mancera Instant Crush

  • Vincent Espinoza says:

    Mancera coming out with another classic? That seems to be the way Sebastion is describing it. Hope to sample soon.

  • aud604 says:

    Lovely! Mancera is an interesting brand – red tobacco is a surprising fragrance, very nice. This one does sound pretty sexy. Sebastian is a master of capturing and conveying the essence of the fragrance. Thank you for the review and draw. My first Crush was She-Ra! lol USA.

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    I’ve had a chance to sample this one and it’s really fantastic. Sebastian’s review is great and it definitely reminds me of Sensual Instinct but they are distinct enough to have both. Based on his review it looks like I’ll have to try Hindu Kush as well. I’d love to win a full bottle. Thank you for the draw and review. I’m in the US.

  • virgilio herrera says:

    I realy like the way sebastian review fragrances he have a way to realy let you know that fragrances are more than just a product, that they are a way of art and make me feel that i own a piece of art whenever i buy something that he recommends… my favorite mancera is aoud lemon mint… and i guess my first crush was my babysitter my mother tells me i was in love with her….

  • tooka81 says:

    I enjoyed his review, and how he talks about how the name is fitting for the fragrance because you instantly full in love with this scent. the Mandarin and the coconut creaminess that comes from the combo of sandalwood and vanilla, this fragrance seems like a great fragrance for the summer or anytime and I would love to try it! I do not have a fave Mancera fragrance, but my first crush was Johnathan Brandis.

  • riddlemo says:

    I would love to win a bottle of instant crush to be reminded of my first crush in the first grade, who had the bluest eyes and puffiest blonde hair ever. Nostalgia. (Commenting from USA.)

  • Teresa says:

    I always enjoy Sebastian’s reviews…enthusiastic,no-nonsense and no snobbery.I love Mancera Velvet Vanilla …I find Mancera’s to be very high quality and well worth the price and the names are particularly inspired. My first crush…also at age 6, was a sweet classmate named Andy….only the first of many un-requitted ‘loves’ until I met my husband of 41 years! I am in the US and would undoubtedly love Instant Crush.

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    Never tried anything from the House of Mancera but hear a lot of good things. Sebastian’s excellent review, along with many others, have me intrigued to try this juice.

  • JHans17 says:

    Citrus, saffron, and sandalwood concoction sounds divine. Sebastian always picks the best fragrances; I would love to try this one.

  • snehme78 says:

    I own a bottle of Cedrat boise and I prefer it over creed Aventus and Im very happy with house Mancera, Sebastian is definitely my favorite fragrance reviewer and I have trusted his nose on many blind buys, keep up the good work Sebastian and keep them coming Mancera/Montale

  • Diana D says:

    I loved Sebastian’s review! This sounds so gorgeous! I’ve never owned any fragrances from the House of Mancera. But this on would be a perfect scent to start with because of those spicy, woody, earthy notes. It sounds like it has so much depth and richness. I’m already getting geared up for the cooler weather to come and this one would be perfect to kick off Autumn.

    I loved that his description, it’s what makes me want to win.
    Juicy citrus, a light trail of leather, rose and woody accord and vanilla to balance it out? plus the compliments that allow you to connect to people

    Im excited

    Reposting because I haven’t to registered previously!

    I am a huge fan of Sebastian’s Youtube channel and love all of his perfume reviews and recommendations! My favourite Mancera perfume has to be Roses Vanille, it is so interesting as I never thought I would enjoy wearing a vanilla fragrance but the first time I smelled this perfume I was IN LOVE!
    Instant crush sounds divine, I am always a huge fan of saffron perfumes (my current saffron pick is Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat) and I am always looking for other unique perfumes. The blend of saffron, vanilla and sandalwood sounds like a dream come true! I always love Mancera perfumes because everytime I would wear it out, I can not stop smelling my wrist and it makes me so happy that people will come up to me and ask what perfume I’m wearing! I also love sharing new fragrances with people, and it is the easiest way to make new friends!
    I remember my first crush, it was a boy named Alex who lived two houses away from mine where I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia. I was around 10 years old, and we would ride our bikes around the neighborhood and play with his dog in the evenings before dinner. At the age of 10, I had no idea how crushing on someone felt and to hide my crush I remember acting really weird and mean around him (at one point running away whenever I saw him on the street). Ah, to be young and in love <3

    Great review Sebastian. Love the notes first off. Secondly like the way you talked about the saffron and spicy nuances mmmmm. Thirdly aromatic, trailing, fireworks, creamy. Just wow. Sounds like perfection in a bottle. I’m probably the only one who loves Mancera Aoud Black Candy but it is by far my very favorite. I would love Instant Crush just for the saffron, mandarin and white musk alone but also I know this would wear beautifully on my skin. I love these scents that flick you olfactory senses and you can’t stop thinking about it.

  • Mark S. says:

    I love Sebastian’s detail of notes, almost like a script of an upcoming adventure. Today I’d say Cedrat Boise is my favorite for the season.
    I’d love to win this because where I live, nearly everything is a blind buy and 180.00 is a bit of a gamble.
    First crush? That would be my kindergarten love Linda of course! She was a bit of an instant crush.

  • Mark S. says:

    Let’s try again, it seems my first comment went poof! No sillage at all!
    Another great review by Sebastian that unfolds the note progression like some yet to be seen movie. My favorite Mancera would be this season’s favorite from them Cedrat Boise. I’d love to win this because where I live, nearly every purchase has to be a blind buy an 180.00 is a bit of a gamble. Note selection sounds great, but compositions can make or break it.

    My first crush? Why that would be my kindergarten dream Linda!
    Come to think of it, she was an instant crush too.

  • Curt says:

    My first crush was my babysitter. I was 8, she was early twenties and amazing looking. Sparkling blonde and a wardrobe that seemed to consist of airy, cotton tops and short, faded denim shorts. Pretty sure she was summer come to life. Great description of Intense Crush by Sebastian. I prefer Mancera’s line to Montale. Love Red Tobacco for its brash, in your face opening. Please include me in the crowd hoping for a win here. Thanks to CaFleureBon and Europerfumes for the opportunity.

  • Argenis juarez says:

    What I tend to love about Sebastian’s reviews is that he (at least for me) perfectly describes what it smells like.

    Sadly, I haven’t had the chance to try any mancera fragrance yet.

    I’d like to win it because this ingredient list sounds right up my alley. The creaminess Sebastian brings up is something I feel that my collection is lacking

  • Gig84 says:

    Instant Crush ? What a name.
    Spicy , woody , creamy I like a lot. Throw some vanilla and saffron into the mix, and we have a winner in Instant Crush.
    Mancera do have a lot of fragrances, and I’m a bit new to the house despite the fact I own 3 120ml bottles- Aoud Black Candy + Roses and Chocolate + Sicily, and 2 decants – 20ml of Aoud Orchid and 20ml of Pearl.I’ll get a full bottle once my decant is gone. Pearl is my favorite one.
    My first crush was the kid next door.
    Beautiful draw thank you.

  • NiceVULady says:

    Loved listening to Sebastian’s take on Instant Crush. I love the sandalwood combined with the saffron and citrus. Mmmm. I’ve sampled Hindo Kush and Cedrat Bois and really them. I’d really love to win this. Thanks so much for the chance. I’m in the USA.

  • adinfl18 says:

    I love how Sebastian spells out the opening, top and base notes of the scent and how excited and thrilled he is about this fragrance. I don’t have any parfums from Mancera yet, but I think I fell instantly in love with Instant Crush.
    I’m in the U.S.

  • Jwhdz1 says:

    I love sebastians review. I appreciate how thoughtful he is with his reviews, how he describes the notes,how it opens up amd blooms in the heat and the feelings the fragrance invokes. I love that he uses another fragrance as a reference point so that it gives you a clear idea of what to expect. I dont own many manceras, but from what i do own, id havw to say that I’m currently very taken with aoud lemon mint. If love to win this fragrance because it sounds like it would be right up my alley and I know that I’ll be able to put it to good use while enjoying every moment. I am in the U.S. Thank you!

  • Azarias says:

    Sebastian has always been one of my absolute favorite reviewers, he’s definitely on my top 5 if all time list. Been watching his videos for years. He has a great nose, and is very well known in the community. In this review, just hearing how describes the note breakdown, compliment factor, and performance, I immediately wanted to try this one out! Mancera is an excellent fragrance house with a vast selection of unique, very well made, quality fragrances. My favorite Mancera fragrance has to be Aoud Lemon Mint. It was hard to find, but well worth the journey. The vetiver and citrus in Mancera’s Aoud Lemon Mint blew me away! I’ve never tried Instant Crush, but watching the reviews and reading the reviews online, it sounds like the perfect fragrance for me. I love the notes. I always expect the best from Mancera, they never disappoint.

  • Amirpasha says:

    Citrus notes along with saffron! That is an absolute delight! I love how he explains all the notes!

  • jeremyn87 says:

    Sebastian is usually pretty descriptive with the fragrances and concise. This sounds like an interesting fragrance and pretty dynamic. Like the citrus notes at the top paired with the more creamy notes as it develops. I’d love to try it, especially since I don’t find them in stores too often.
    My fav Mancera might be Aoud Lemon Mint. My first crush was probably a neighbor (unless Cindy Crawford on TV counts).
    Im in the US. thanks for the draw

  • IvanVelikov says:

    My first crush was a dark skin , green eyes girl 3 years older than me.
    Fireworks to go off i like i lot.Just like Sebastian i’m a fan of potent fragrances , with strong projection , and sillage . I’m happy Instant Crush is not only super pleasing , but performance is great too. Rose, saffron , sandalwood in the base. I expect nothing less from Mancera , i’m intrigued. I also appreciate the smell changes a lot.
    My favorite Mancera? Aoud Cafe and Cedrat Boise both i own, and love equally.
    Thanks for the review and the great draw

  • Caliwas says:

    Sebastian has an amazing ability to take notes and explain how the perfume actually smells. I would love to win this sexy sweet fragrance to smell sexy. My favorite Mancera is Cebrat Boise. Thanks for the draw. I live in USA.

  • GennyLeigh says:

    The only Mancera I’ve tried is Hindu Kush which I enjoy a lot. I love foe Sebastian describes the development of a fragrance on the skin. I almost felt like I was experiencing it myself. I would love to win a bottle of Instant Crush. It seems so uplifting.

  • Mike Alexander says:

    Sebastian’s review was informative and made me very intrigued about the new fragrance. I am new to the house of Mancera and think that Instant Crush would be a great fragrance to “get my feet wet.” My first crush every (and still is) is Jlo. Let’s see if Instant Crush can beat her haha.

  • David says:

    I love John Hughes movies, especially “Pretty and Pink”! I would like to wear Instant Crush because the trail sounds do bright and sparkly with the citrus, then smooth with the rose and sandalwood.
    I haven’t tried anything from Mancera yet.
    I live in the USA.

  • Hasib says:

    Would love to try this one and own a bottle. Most have been liking it. I love Cedrat Boisé from Mancera. Haven’t explored much from this House. Sebastian seems to enjoy this one. Thanks, US

  • sandeeptiwari77 says:

    Haven’t tried a Mancera fragrance yet, and this one would be good to start with. A sillage experience on either end of the trail is the fun part of this indulgence and that’s what intrigues me about this review. First crush ? She knows. That is the beauty of the first crush, it happens once and the memory of it is never stays with you forever, indelible. Incidentally she used to wear Singapore Girl, something not many would have come across here in the US.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I like that it comes alive in the warm weather. I don’t have enough warm weather fragrances in my collection so I would love to win this. I love saffron in fragrance and food. Most of Sebastian’s favorites I enjoy. I recently got a sample of Rose Greedy (I requested Rose Vanilla, but it was out). It is my first whiff of Mancera. I really enjoyed it. My first crush was probably 45 years ago and I cannot remember a name. Thanks for the chance. USA

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Watching Sebastian review I was instantly reminded of 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.
    Again can’t help it – Pastry Chef is coming forward .
    Favorite Mancera without a doubt is Aoud Black Candy . Love the lakritz candies accord in it. Worldwide most use “lakritz” , but in States it’s known as licorice .
    Appreciate the review , and the giveaway campaign
    USA

  • Nasrat Dernaika says:

    Based on the description that Sebastian gave, I wonder if this overlaps in anyway with Colognise Safron from Nishane. I’m really looking forward to try this one. I live in Boston.

    Cheers,

  • kb1993 says:

    Sebastian never disappoints when it comes to giving a detailed thourgoh review! I like his comparisons and the way he describes the drydown sounds wonderful. I have not had a chance to try any mancera fragrance, unfourtualely my budget is pretty much nonexistent lately. So that is why I would love to win after seeing the review I’m dieing to try this but know it will be a good while before I can.
    Thank you to europerfumes, cafleurebon, and Sebastian for making this giveaway possible!

  • Cornelius Thompson says:

    I enjoy the description of Mancera Instant Crush by Sebastian on YouTube. I thought he makes me curious to try this cologne.

    I had to think hard about my first crush. She was a girl about 10 years old, as I was 10 years old, named Shameka Jack. She would twirl her fingers in her hair and laugh with a cute girlish grin. I would watch her for hours. One day I mustard up enough courage to talk to her. She was so sweet and nice. I was smitten.

  • cwoody says:

    There’s been so much hype around this one! Really looking forward to giving it a try. I appreciate Sebastian’s elegance when describing a fragrance. USA

  • Onyinye says:

    I would love to win for my mom, today is her birthday. As usual, I enjoyed Sebastian’s description of this fragrance and how he describes the notes and what he loves about this.i don’t have a favorite Mancera perfume.
    I live in USA.

  • LORI LAWS says:

    Excellent review by Sebastian and his descriptions are always on point! I love fragrances with saffron notes and this one sounds like a winner. Having a sandalwood base, the vanilla, and great sillage I am all in for. Thanks for the giveaway and I live in the US!

  • WaltherP99 says:

    Thank you Europerfumes and Cafleurebon for this draw , and of course Sebastian for the review .
    I had the pleasure of smelling all new Mancera and Montale fragrances last month in France, and I have to say all are really good. Precious Oud will get a review here , I’m sure.
    Undeniably there’s similarities between Instant Crush and Baccarat Rouge 540 . Denying it is beyond absurd. I have to clarify something, Instant Crush is NOT BR540 clone! They are similar to a certain degree, but not the same. There are not twins, not even brothers, but more like cousins.
    I presume both brands are using the same fixative/aroma chemical. Instant Crush is thicker, fuller, spicier and there’s some fruity nuances in the base . Sebastian gets Coconut, I get litchi . To me Instant Crush is more manly, performs better, and it’s cheaper. It’s just better.
    As i said i love the house – own 10 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.
    I do follow all of you on IG -Cafleurebon , Sebastian, Europarfums and Mancera.

  • VeganZ1 says:

    I just really liked how honest and detail oriented his review was. He brought in comparisons I had no thought of before, but it made me order a sample as soon as the video was over.
    I suppose I don’t have a compelling reason as to why I deserve to win a bottle, other than I really love niche fragrances but can never afford to purchase a bottle. I’m a single dad with a kid in high school so the most I can do is buy samples and figure out my likes and dislikes from there.
    I would really be honored if I was chosen!

  • Kedric says:

    As always, Sebastian’s vids are concise and well produced! I really enjoy several Mancera frags, including Cedrat Boise and Black Gold. In this one, the saffron and sweeter elements seem particularly interesting and I would love to win the bottle. Intriguingly named, too!

  • Randy Herron says:

    Sebastian has probably become my favorite fragrance reviewer. I’m really interested to get my nose on this and potentially add it to the collection.

  • rherro12 says:

  • Blake O'Connell says:

    I agree the recent releases have been pretty good and I would love to give this one a try.

  • Hendrix Wilson says:

    New to your channel and I absolutely lol your take on different fragrances.
    Thank you for a chance to win.

  • Jay says:

    This fragrance seems so intriguing to me. I do not own any mancera fragrances so it would be a pleasure for this to be my first one.

  • Alan says:

    I have never tried a Mancera fragrance but the feedback from reviewers make it very tempting to check them out

  • Jesse Lee says:

    I loved the sample I had of Hindu Kush, and knowing Sebastian’s taste I think that I would love to win this. Mancera is such a great.

  • Ron says:

    Awesome review as always! I’m new to Mancera and so far my favorite is Cedrat Boise, but I’d love to get a chance to win Instant Crush!
