I also didn't own any mancera because I was biased in the fact that almost none of the Montale line appealed to me. The smoke and incense or frankincense, and lack of freshness made me really want to understand why it was so expensive.

The longevity is beast mode I recently acquired this and it works great for the day and I could see this as a clubbing scent if you want to stand out.In summary, this fragrance is dominated by lemon and citrus notes, with oud being just a minor note.

Very unique fragrance, it's fresh and woody but not the usual wood notes that in most fresh and aquatic fragrances. Now that I've tested a handful of fragrances from both houses, I come to one conclusion - the label doesn't always live up to its promises and: less is sometimes more! r/fragrance is an inclusive, adult community for discussing finished retail perfumes and other scented personal and home-care products.The "musty" fades with time, as does most of the lemon, and you're left with an earthy, soft, peppery mix that still has something fresh about it.

It is a nice fragrance, although I could not detect either lemon or mint when I first sprayed it or even later. This doesn’t mean it is a weak scent at all but is something to be considered if you want a strong-performing perfume.

Then in about 20 to 30 mins the base comes into play and the scent transitions into something much more heavy and dense.I'll definitely have to give it a proper wearing after a few days and hope I don't get as nose blind again - but on first sniff I'm honestly left scratching my head a bit. Got this right around 2 weeks ago and, out of all my Manceras, this one is what I've been wearing the most. Longevity and projection are exceptional and this very easily could become my favorite mancera purchase. There is something cool about this fragrance and I think that’s why it has mint in its name, but I don’t get any mint from this whatsoever.
