Mancera INTENSE Instant Crush

Official Image via the brand

“Mancera Intense Instant Crush is the newest iteration of the ever-so-popular Instant Crush. This intense version strengthens the sweetness by adding a salted caramel accord for a richness that is a step up from the original. The leather accord is rich and exotic while the vanilla pod accord in the base prolongs the sweetness for an almost gourmand experience that is sure to last many hours on skin. Mancera Intense Instant Crush is a perfect balance of rich, exotic, alluring, fascinating, and enduring“. –Steven Gavrielatos, Video Contributor

A note from the brand: This unisex scent leans masculine and commands attention without ever needing to chase it.

    As usual, I appreciate the rundown Redolessence gives in his videos. Everything from how certain notes are attained for perfumes, to comparisons to existing perfumes and how these scents can fit in your collection. Love how he is also very honest with his reviews. I haven’t spelled the original Instant Crush, but the way Steven explains it sounds very interesting.

  • Gtimothy78 says:

    Steven is always clear with his reviews and gives excellent details. He comes through with that exuberant energy!! Really looking forward to this Intense Instant Crush!!!

  • nicogutz says:

    One of the content creators I actually enjoy watching whenever I want to know about a new fragrance, he always has a thorough review that why I enjoy STEVEN’S YOUTUBE REVIEW.

  • Bran J says:

    Heavy and powerful fragrance. Leathery sweet and salted caramel. Sounds like a unique bomb for the gregarious fragrance connoisseur. Seems very rich and a long lasting scent profile.

  • willwillwilllwill says:

    I owned tbe original instant crush, and it was an instant hit in my heart. Steven is the perfect salesman, he can sell water to a fish. The way he explained the fragrance and details into the prefumer behind it made me do my own dive into the world, making me enjoy fragrances just as much as everyone else. I love fragrance blogs, so besides the giveaway, I’m glad he sent me your way. I also followed you on Instagram, my handle is tweakin.mane. I hope to see more bold manceras come out soon, and hope to see Steven review them as well.

  • Amy Stewart says:

    I’ve never tried a Mancera fragrance but I am just starting my perfume collection

  • SHardy says:

    Steven provided an in depth description of the fragrance. It was as if I could smell the fragrance through the screen, although I have never smelled it before. I am going to have to get my nose on it. Thank you for yet another amazing review Steven.♥️

  • djlonyc says:

    Mancera Instant Crush is a favorite of mine with its luxuriously sweet aroma and have been looking forward to exploring the depth of the “Intense” version. I’m truly excited for the leather accord and would be very interested into diving head first into a more masculine version of the classic. Nothing better than a sweet, bad boy fragrance to enhance my scent portfolio and take my style to another level. Thank you for this wonderful review. It has enhanced my interest into one day wearing this fragrance out in the world.

  • juancho02 says:

    I have been a subscriber to Redolescence channel for over a year. For me this is one of the top perfume review channels out there.
    His reviews and recommendation are always spot on. Very elegant himself, always projecting trust and knowledge.
    I have bought great recommendations based on his reviews and they have been great

  • Jantina says:

    This is a wonderfull fragrance, very different. I did smell this in the store and received a very small sample. I love this fragrance and would love to wear this and have it…

  • Sal says:

    Steven does an incredible job of describing this fragrance. Can’t wait to try it and appreciate the opportunity to win a bottle. Thank you!

  • ALT ATTITUDES says:

    Not sure what happened to my post so trying again, sorry if this is a duplicate. I liked how Steven went over the flavor as a stronger scent and mentioned that the rose was not very powerful at all , which was a concern to me. I TOO WAS BORED WITH THE ROSE Aoud frequency! .Looking forward to trying this and including it in my collection of over 35-40 MANCERAS

  • Carolyn says:

    Steven, you’re awesome. You describe fragrances so well I can almost smell them. Mancera instant crush was the first perfume I tried.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    Mancera fragrances will always give you this: long lasting fragrances at a great price. I’m glad they’re continuing the Intense line with their best sellers and making them last even longer. A spicy and leather mix with sweetness and rose it’s the kind of scent that will work on any weather and any time of year even though Steven thinks this will work best in the fall/winter. Redolessence always relays the meaning behind a scent and I like that this one gives an air of mystery and a clandestine smell. I follow CaFleureBonOfficial on IG and my handle is Ramses.d.perez. I’m located in the USA.

  • Kash says:

    I am a huge fan of Redolessence (Steven), I watch his daily videos and value his opinion. I own the OG Instant Crush so this Intense version with the combination of leather and salted Carmel will definitely be a crowd please. I can’t wait to get my nose on it.

  • Greg Graham Sr says:

    Salted Caramel, sounds mouthwatering. Thank you Steven and Cafleurebon, Twisted Lilly.

  • Doubleoh says:

    Instant Crush was one of my first Mancera fragrances. That one started me down a good rabbit hole of adding scents from this house over the years. Once I saw they started adding Intense Cedrat Boise and Intense Red Tobacco I just knew this was gonna be next and I have been waiting. Steven mentions that it is a scent for someone who knows exactly what they are looking for from a fragrance and that is me. He also mentions it is so rich and super spicy and loud. SIGN ME UP!!!!

  • Pierce Coffey-Craig says:

    Redolessence has helped me with 1 blind buy before and it was great – would love to keep growing my collection and would appreciate the bottle very much – 16 with 11 bottles in my collection right now – loving it all, thanks for reading!

  • Maestro says:

    Mancera’s Instant Crush has long been a favorite of mine, thanks to its opulently sweet allure. Now, I’m eager to delve deeper into the Intense version—especially intrigued by the bold leather accord and the promise of a more masculine twist on the original. A seductive, bad-boy fragrance with a sweet edge would be the perfect addition to my collection, elevating my style to new heights. Thank you for this fantastic review—it has truly inspired me to experience this captivating scent in the future. Greetings fro NY

  • Patricia Douglass says:

    Thank you for this beautiful review. I love how you describe Mancera Intense Instant Crush as rich, exotic, and alluring — it sounds like such a captivating twist on the original. I also really appreciate your honesty about it not being something you’d wear every day. It’s refreshing to hear a genuine perspective like that. Sometimes those scents that aren’t for daily wear end up being the most special — reserved for when we want to feel a little extra fascinating.

  • Suzann Adams says:

    This scent combination is exactly what I love to wear. Thank you for the giveaway!

  • Suzann Adams says:

    This scent combination is exactly what I love to wear. Thank you for the giveaway! Stevwn’s comments and review has made me want it even more.

  • Annika says:

    I haven’t tried the original Mancera Instant Crush but the salted caramel accord seems to add a summer carnival/boardwalk vibe to the Intense version. The rest of the notes sound exotic and rich and reminds me of a sultry desert inspired scent. MD, USA

  • brentm says:

    Nice review Steven! The original is very cloyingly sweet to me, with the added notes to the intense version, it sounds more interesting to me. Would love to give it a smell and compare it to my original! USA

  • Rae McGuire says:

    I’m newish in the perfume game. I found Steven on YouTube and love how he describes the scent and who would be interested in that fragrance. He definitely makes we want to venture out and try new perfumes. And this fragrance seems like something me and my husband may enjoy together!

  • Maryjean says:

    Mancera Intense Instant Crush sounds great. Love the notes. Steven’s reviews always help me with picking so many fragrances. USA

  • samozain1 says:

    As a fan of the original I was interested in this version.. Steven explained the difference in detail and I find that I would probably like this version more. The description of amping up the good aspects of the original like sweet caramel and leather makes this perfect.

    uSA

  • Danniel says:

    Steven said this is more focused towards Eastern sentiments due to it being a strong and spicy fragrance and that means I’ll probably enjoy it. Creamy rich and exotic? I’m in for sure. I’m in the USA.

  • Jourdan says:

    After watching Steven’s review I must say that I’m really hyped for Intense Instant Crush. I don’t just want it…I NEED it

  • Andrea Cerrato says:

    Came here from steven YouTube video. I got a sample of the original and want to buy it sooo bad but now that there’s a new “intense” one ??? I might order a sample 🙂 good luck everyone one on the give away! But fingers crossed

  • MicheleR1919 says:

    Love Steven’s review on Mancera’s new release of Instant Crush Intense! When I discovered Instant Crush the O.G, it was love at first sniff. In his review her really stressed how much spicier this intense version is. Can’t wait to try it!!

  • Peter G. says:

    Never ever seen a Mancera where I live. However, I did enjoy Steven’s professional review.

  • yankeefan83 says:

    I really enjoyed Steven’s YouTube review of Mancera’s new Intense Instant Crush—his breakdown was both informative and engaging. What stood out most was how clearly he described the differences between the original and the intense version, highlighting the richer amber and spicier nuances that make this release stand on its own. His enthusiasm felt genuine, and I appreciated how he took the time to walk through the opening, heart, and dry-down phases with such clarity. He made the fragrance come alive through his words, and by the end of the video, I felt even more excited to try it for myself.
    I want my comment counted twice. Thank you. @_king_chrisx

  • SmokedJDL says:

    Steven’s detailed breakdown of Mancera Intense Instant Crush was flawless. It particularly helped me understand the complexity of the notes and overall how the fragrance smells.

  • Herardo Reyes says:

    The spiciest fragrance I currently own is probably Azzaro Most Wanted by Night

    And in second place…. a clone…
    Asad by Lattafa!

  • scentlover_95 says:

    The only “spicy fragrance I currently own” would probably be by Azzaro Most Wanted By Night

    And maybe… Asas by Lattafa!

    I also enjoy Ferragamo’s UOMO
    (Nice leather/Coffee/tonka/vanilla fragrance)

  • ianbradleyandrews says:

    I liked the original and this sounds like a hit also. Stevens reviews are the best because he always talks about performance. I’d love to win this and live in Indiana.

  • Sevual26 says:

    Never owned a Mancera product, but would enjoy this being my first example of a company I see/hear a lot about.

  • Shafiq Roshaisam says:

    I love the Mancera house, it’s niche yet offers a diverse range of versatile fragrances. I’ve followed Steven for a while on my fragrance journey, and he’s a fantastic, knowledgeable reviewer. Thank you!

  • Tino says:

    Great review as always Steven !
    I have tried the original instant crush and I loved it but the way you presented how the notes are in this new intense version Specifically leather (one of my favorite note in fragrances) Makes me really want it. It’s right up my alley. Like the mysterious vibe it gives ~

  • Michael McCormack says:

    I’m a big fan of the brand Mancera and I really like the original Instant Crush. I am very curious how this smells and I would love to wear it in the fall.

  • Stephen Dovidas says:

    Steven is the premier fragrance reviewer with the perfect level of detail on each fragrance he covers. He paints a picture that is so clear and transportive he is one of the few whose opinion I trust enough to blind buy from. (Even though he always cautions to sample it first.)
    Intense Instant Crush sounds like the Fall fragrance I have been looking for! I love a great spicy warm fragrance and have been looking for a leather scent to add to my collection and this sounds perfect. @cafleurebonofficial in Insta with @sdovidas

    I’m in NJ good luck to all

  • mmerline says:

    I haven’t tried the original Instant Crush, but the addition of salted caramel in the Intense version of this fragrance sounds decadant. The “spicy-sweet DNA” works best in cool weather, so a sweeter style is a good match for the stronger concentration, and the leathery sandalwood-rose at the core of this fragrance. Steven said he would “Have to be in the mood to wear” this; I dig strong and opinionated.

    I’m in the USA. I follow @cafleurebonofficial as @mmerline.

  • Kathy Tucker says:

    Redolessence described Mancera’s Intense Instant Crush as super gregarious and I was sold! Instant Crush was one of my first crushes in the fragrance world, and I love saffron, leather, suede, labdanum type fragrances so know I will need Mancera Intense Instant Crush in my life! Thank you, Twisted Lily (where my first purchase of Instant Crush and Cosmic Pepper happened!) for this opportunity!

  • jennapark says:

    This sounds beautiful. Instant Crush is an amazing fragrance. Steven’s reviews are always honest and thorough and that’s what I love about him. I am a fan of Mancera’s scents because of their longevity and boldness. According to Steven this is no exception. I do love a rose oud, i understand what Steven is saying about it getting a little boring. What catches my attention about this is the notes saffron, leather then salted caramel rose and vanilla. I also trust Steven’s description of a confident loud spicy going out fragrance which is something I’m looking for in the fall. I’m from Pennsylvania USA

  • aditu says:

    Steven’s description, as usual, makes me really want to try this fragrance! What captured my interest was his characterization of this as having spicy-sweet DNA on a base of leather, where the sweetness is more dense and rich than fluffy and candy-like. Sounds great for an evening fragrance to lend an air of mystery and self confidence. I am in MA.

  • Dwkr2525 says:

    Love the Mancera instant crush at my friends house couple of weeks back. Loved it, hope to get a bottle of mine

  • Saood says:

    I’ve been watching Steven for many years at this point and I have always appreciated his honesty. In a world full of paid off influencers, Steven remains unbiased, fair and objective. I always appreciate his insight and when he recommends a fragrance like Instant Crush, I know hes not just hyping it up for no reason.

  • goldenswan says:

    I have the original Instant Crush and it’s one of my favorites, so I’m really curious about this new Intense version. It sounds like they made it stronger and even better, which is cool. What I liked about Steven’s YouTube review is how clear and honest he was about what changed and what to expect. He made it easy to understand without overdoing it. USA

  • DirtyBlue95 says:

    I loved the breakdown that he gives with his reviews. I love the original and this one seems to be even better.

  • zibbyz says:

    I do love spicy, not so much sweetness, and I loved Steven’s throw away line of, but wearing fragrance is a crime! This one would be lovely to visit, maybe not to take home. Lovely review, good luck for the draw.

  • Keofis says:

    Hello Steven,

    Mancera is my favorite fragrance house.

    I brought the original instant crush about 4-5 months ago, I hope the intense isn’t a duplicate.

  • marilyn.jose says:

    I love Steven’s review because it was honest and he is very passionate about his content. The scent profile was broken clearly outlined who the target user for Mancera Intense Instant Crush. He is the only youtuber that I trust and subscribe to for fragrance related content.

    I just love Steven’s reviews. His descriptions put you in the mood. In this case, it was sophisticated. He knows how to describe a perfume. You just want it, when he is done. Thanks for the introduction. @stout.katrina on Instagram.

  • sunnysayz says:

    Spicy sweet scent, with vanilla, a salted caramel accord, and saffron in the opening, paints a picture of a bakery in a spice market in the Middle East. Always appreciate Steven’s no nonsense and honest delivery, with a clear breakdown of the scent, the strength and wearability. Can’t wait to try the Intense Instant Crush!

  • Amanda32828 says:

    Another awesome review by Redolessence, I absolutely loved Instant Crush by Mancera — the scent is incredibly long-lasting with a beautiful trail that always got compliments. I actually owned a bottle and used it all up, which says a lot considering how many fragrances I rotate through. Definitely one of my favorites!” Commenting from Orlando, Fl. USA.

  • markpjr says:

    I enjoyed how well Steven described the fragrance and made it sound absolutely heavenly. I hope to try it out soon!

  • foreverscents says:

    I haven’t tried Instant Crush, but it sounds like I have been missing out on an amazing fragrance. I am here for a heavy-hitting gregarious fragrance and Intense Instant Crush sounds like a spicy and rich fragrance with its caramel, rose, saffron, and leather notes. I love Middle Eastern style fragrances and I like a fragrance that is a bit mysterious, but also one that says “I know what I like.” Thank you, Steven for such an enjoyable review.

  • Angelika1 says:

    Based on Steven Review, Intense Instant Crush gives a bold and polarizing fragrance. If you enjoy rich, spicy‑saffron‑leather compositions with massive projection and aren’t sensitive to synthetics, it’s likely a standout choice for you. Really excited to smell it.
    Thank Steven for always be so good at what you love and share that passion with us. We learn a lot from you. From USA

  • Rodney Huynh says:

    I don’t have the original Instant Crush but this intense version really spark my interest. From Steve’s review, it’s spicier and bolder which is my style of fragrance. I like the combination of Saffron, Rose and salted cameral. It would be nice if I can win this; it not, I will wait until it’s available on discount sites to grab one.

    I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the review Steven!

    This really sounds like a cooler weather, modern, large projection, long life fragrance. All the notes in this are things in the popular category.

    Cheers from WI, USA
