About this deal

The fragrance is available in 60ml, and 120ml Eau de Parfum flacons, and it is still available to purchase. If you are someone who is new to the niche game, this may not bother you, but it is past due time that Mancera upgraded their ingredients to a higher level, and my recommendation is that you shouldn’t smell their fragrances up close in the place where you sprayed them since they smell much better in the air around the wearer. Like I said, I really wanted to like it, but probably needs to be the right crowd and the right situation. I could imagine wearing this trekking the Inca Trail, or climbing an extinct volcano near Santorini, or even scaling the Atlas Mountains on a motorbike.

Actually it's perfect for Indian weather as it can persist for more than 12 hours no matter how much you sweat. While the sour fruit disappears after a short time, this spicy, slightly musty Oud/Patchouli sweetness remains for well over 10 hours. Lemon Line, Sicily, Black Prestigium, Aoud Lemon Mint and Cedrat Boise landed in my mailbox and to cut a long story short, Aoud Lemon Mint won me over the most out of all of them!Going in the opposite direction of traditionally heavy oud-based fragrances, the lemon influence lightens it up just enough to make it extremely wearable yet still carry the longevity we love in oud-forward fragrances. My two favorite notes in cologne are lemon and mint, so I thought I would go crazy for this fragrance and bought it blind. I actually started out with a 5ml decant sometime back and it got me so impressed with the first wear, I did the sprays in the office room and it filled the whole room and everyone was trying to see where the scent trail came from. This lasts on me even after a shower, will fill a room for the first few hours and will leave a sillage for pretty much it's entire life.

This could be to the subtler performance or the fact it isn’t as much of a compliment garner as you may believe by seeing just the notes themselves. The bottle, which is a feast for the eyes, therefore does not really go well with such a powerful hum, which, unlike the name suggests, is hardly bearable in summer.

As far as Mancera goes this is average in performance, good but not as good as lots of the other Mancera scents. 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 ideal for any season except for the summer, as it is too piercing and loud for the summer heat.I'll try to macerate it for 1 month since others have said that it helps particularly for citrus fragrances and i'm really hoping that will do the trick and change my impression of this scent. Aside from the fact that this fragrance makes absolutely no attempt to imitate other fragrances, it is also worth mentioning that no other fragrances managed to clone or imitate it, deeming Lemon Mint so unique in terms of DNA. At first i liked it, but after a few wearings the scent became tiring and screechy and the lack of naturals became too obvious and obnoxious. But 15 minutes in this transforms and the jasmine vanilla and patchouli show up mixed with the opening citruses.

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.With diverse environments and people and cultures exposed to so many wonders food fauna architecture style and feeling of society. I will give it to Mancera… their fragrances last but it was an unfortunate experience for me because the smell radiating off my arm was making me feel sick all day and I couldn’t get it off!
