Cedrat(the citron tree) is a type of citrus known as a large fragrant citron. It is used widely in Asian cuisine, traditional medicines, perfume, and religious rituals. Is Mancera niche or designer? The bright and sunny citruses keep on going through the rest of the fragrance and are joined by a touch of woodiness, soft leather(the same molecule you’ll find in Hugo Boss The Scent and Rasasi Shuhrah Pour Homme), and a peculiar watery quality without going into the aquatic territory. This scent gets a lot of comparisons to Creed Aventus. They really aren't anything alike. They accomplish similar things, but in completely different ways. Appreciate, or hate, both of them for what they are.

Mancera Cedrat Boise lasts a good 8 to 10 hours with very good projection and sillage. With reformulation talks explained, I cannot see anyone being unhappy with the durability. Mancera niche house was founded by Pierre Montale in 2008, an ode to the Art Deco movement, and a desire to create modern interpretations of scents from the past by using only the finest and precious ingredients.The performance on this one is excellent. I use 1 spray for work and 2 sprays for everything else. It's incredibly versatile. I can see this being worn for any occasion or season. Be careful on the sprays though. This one is deceptively strong at times. I can sense every note listed in the bottom notes. By the time the fragrance has dried down(a couple of hours into the life of fragrance), the scent is warmer, creamy(sandalwood), and gets more serious as the oakmoss becomes more present. You know it is a big deal if you smile each time you spray a scent that takes you down the memory line, and I’ll tell you everything about it.

The heavy crystal glass Art Deco-style flacons are custom-made by Italian manufacturer Luigi Bormioli, best known for his style and artwork are often compared to Renaissance. Thus, if you found that your favorite fragrance isn’t as powerful or deep as before, it might just mean it has been reformulated to abide by the industry rules of allergen exclusions, and thus, finding an alternative and safer ingredient. After owning Mancera Cedrat Boise 2013, 2015, and now 2020 batch variations, before I start with the actual review, I have to say a couple of things regarding all the talk about reformulations that have seemingly surrounded this fragrance in the recent years within the fragrance community. Tiziana Terenzi Orion – is a fruity woody fragrance released in 2015. The main notes are Pineapple, Birch Tar, and Cedarwood. The lasting power is 10 – 12 hours with great projection.You know, how more often than not you go to the perfume shop, try something new and it gets you by its enjoyable top notes and after 10 or 20 minutes gets plain and boring? Yeah, me too. Mancera's Cedrat Boise is a niche composition mixed from high quality ingredients and targeted at the consumer who wants to wear something out of the ordinary. Pierre Montale is the genius behind this memorable creation. Niche scents, such as this one, offer an appreciated change from designer products. They are made by perfumeries that concentrate in this area rather than larger fashion houses. However, some of these small-scale businesses have now been acquired by large enterprises. An Olfactory Palace Mancera was born later, when some of our customers mentioned a discomfort with using aluminum bottles (they wanted to know how much juice was still inside) – but just when we launched Mancera, everyone began to love Montale! PIERRE MONTALE If you are not a woman(ladies also wear Cedrat Boise), the fragrance shouldn’t announce you before you enter a room anyways.
