In fact they're very similar save for the addition of lavender and tonka that are in Addictive Oriental. I don't think I would like it on a woman, but of course tastes differ on that and everyone can wear what they like. I'll be honest, I imagined there would be more mint in a fragrance with "Mint" in the name, but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes. The oud is tightly woven into the citrus and almond notes, and I wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't mentioned in the name of the fragrance.

This is my first niche fragrance and I'm looking forward to getting more mancera fragrances in the future especially if they are all as good as this one. The fragrance consists of notes like amber, leather, musk, vanilla, jasmine, vetiver, oud, patchouli, pepper, Mandarin, coriander, almond, and lemon. Simply exquisite Manceras take on a blue fragrances with a twist the oud is minimal and not pungent at all just adds a oriental tone to the composition.I purchased this scent recently thought it was a good scent bcs of the reviews and áll, but as soon as I sprayed it and smelled it I didn't really like it.

Where I am from we have very unpredictable weather in the summer so atleast if I put on ALM I know it will suit whatever the weather. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons. Too bad, because the bottle is a feast for the eyes, the durability of this fragrance is second to none! Animal or all too artificial Aoud nobody has to fear here, but from my point of view one is exactly at the interface between light and sweet smells with a very light dark impact - somehow everything is present at the same time. The oud in this doesn't feel apparent until I compared it to L'homme Ideal, now it's something I can notice a lot more.I don't detect much oud or mint so the name is misleading as apart from the lemon and almond the next most prominent notes to me are the Amber and vanilla. Very unique fragrance, it's fresh and woody but not the usual wood notes that in most fresh and aquatic fragrances. 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.

It takes sometimes few days, sometimes few months but they will get their power, and even the smell will change a bit. Excellent performance in signature Mancera style - and this does smell like Mancera with reminders of other Mancera scents. I both like and dislike things about this, I love how the opening smells and the dry down is unique smells like nothing else. Younger crowds will be right at home, and the playful nature of the composition suggests that from the first spray until the dry down.Once your purchases have been delivered to the specified address and signed for, they are no longer covered by insurance. To create Addictive Oriental, Morillas used a hefty dose of Paradisone, an aromachemical similar to Hedione, which creates a very expansive and airy-sweet floral diffusion. I must of ate five hundred almonds in my life and one thing I noticed is almonds, to me, don't have a smell.
