Red Tobacco Intense: Mancera


375x500.84246.jpg




--------------------------------------

×Tested this today. This is more tobacco and less incense than the original. I smell more fruit (apple and pear) in the og. I really don't smell any pear in this.
This 1 kinda has a suede like essence too.

Vanille des Afriques Intensivo: Ormonde Jayne

:dead:

I don't smell a drop of vanilla.
This smells like parmesan cheese and ancient spices. :dead:

These British devils had to make the fragrance with Africa in the name smell like the Olive Garden kitchen. :scust:

Chris Collins is a Breh, and I've heard great things about both fragrances below. Need to acquire pronto.
Anyone have experience with these?

Never see his stuff on sale or decants, so I haven't messed with it.
African Leather is considered a modern classic. For me, the cumin is a bit too strong.

I definitely go mind blank when I see the name.

Will cop in the next batch!

Prada L'Homme
or
Chanel Allure Homme Sport?
Prada.

I like it. It's an easy grab for me.

Honestly I'd probably tell the average person to just get Bleu de Chanel. But if you want something a little different...because blue fragrances are everywhere...Prada isn't bad as an alternative people can find at any mall.

This was a blind buy for me last year, took a couple of wearings for me to come around to it but its nice. Best way I can describe it is calming and cooling with that Rooibos note. The opening is peppery and there's something that comes off a bit smokey, but that does subside fairly quickly with the bergamont and tea. It's worth a sample, I'm not sure if CC does this every year but last year around thanksgiving a bunch of bottles were $50 off on the site.

I'm quite familiar with Rooibos tea so It'll be an interesting note to try recognize.

wore my Mercedes Club Black decant today, and it smells amazing and last all day without the scent wearing off.

I'm eventually going to cop a full bottle
