Kl_stein refinement of the finest ;-)
Our Verriss-King of all people praises this fragrance with the words "soft, invigorating prelude to a mild grapefruit". The wrong world? ... Yep, because as far as the opening of this mancera is concerned, I think it's more like other descriptions that speak of a "spotlessly cleaned kitchen" and "citric overexposure". The best thing for my "taste" is Soulmates, who speaks of a "razor-sharp citrus brick". And I say it openly, my first impression was Kl_stein :-/

But chamber, chamber! What is not yet, can still be (see title).

After the first 5 minutes, which are full of aggressive citrus-synthetic and really violent, the note "sea water" after its calming and about another 10 minutes increasingly contributes a beautiful aquatic - everything else than brackish water, which is so often perceived under this term. And after the plutonium grapefruit has cooled down to about 50% at the beginning of the second hour, Wave Musk actually becomes more and more balanced and better. So it is best to take a closer look at the refining process, which refers to the entire fragrance process:

From the first to the last moment, this Mancera undergoes an amazing development, and thus its wearer makes a most interesting journey. Let's ignore the first 5 minutes during which one better stays in the house, one is soon permeated by an invigorating aquatic freshness that actually reminds of a beach holiday and smells quite natural. So from the second hour on Wave Musk becomes even better, milder, softer and more balanced. Also then a slightly hay-like note plays along, or should that already be the seaweed? No matter, because at the same time the impression of driftwood and sea salt is created. This is the finest in aquatics, further enlivened by the citric freshness of grapefruit, whose synthetics no longer play a major role. Then, from about hour four the wave smells quite fine, maybe the musk will be there too? ... But here now no more rhyming, only further amazement please very much: After 6 to 7 hours, the already wonderfully soothing Aquat turns completely in the direction of a mild seaweed, which can really be smelled 1:1 out of here. Together with the meanwhile very steamed but still slightly diffusing citrus freshness and the musk, a very harmonious beach feeling melange results in the final 2-3 hours ... Who would have thought what would result from the first seconds of this fragrance?!

So this mancera is a phenomenon, but unfortunately it has a problem: as soon as you have the Kl_stein association for just a tiny moment, it happens to him, because you just can't get it out of your head and rate Wave Musk a note worse. But that would be unfair, so I tried to make this nasty term unrecognizable ;)

Conclusion: after a crass start, an unusual but exciting fragrance is soon to be seen, which is definitely worth testing. Wave Musk is a pretty good fragrance, which is a must for aquatic fans, but I would also like to warmly recommend this fun to everyone else. Because that's really a

Great musky aqua with terrific durability
3 years ago I have already written a statement about this Mancera. After 3 years, he has now wandered into my collection. Doesn't happen often that a fragrance makes it after such a long time. I liked this one a lot before, but obviously not what I was looking for at the time. Anyway, Mancera is one of my absolute favorites, especially since they are easy to wear in everyday life. The good thing: The durability convinces me with almost every fragrance and can therefore be worn easily in everyday life, without running around with travel atomizer. In addition, you get modern unique fragrances but also good classic fragrances in a great bottle packed in a cool Mancera bag. Many come off here rather moderate due to alleged synthetics. A matter of taste. A bit of synthetic usually has to be with fresh fragrances if you want to get good performance. In addition, you get the 120ml at upscale designer prices, similar to Montale.

With this Wave Musk should be as you hear the name already rather Aquatik fan. On the whole, however, you can wear this well in everyday life. Many aquatics seem partly something out of place in everyday life, because they already have this holiday-sea vibe. This Wave Musk is very balanced and a great casual and everyday/job wear companion. It's very unique and I can't confirm the Pacific Rock Moss as a fragrance twin here though it might appeal to the same crowd: Young, modern, good-humored. This Wave Musk I find also clearly more unisex than PRM, which is for me rather masculine. This Wave Musk stands both equally well, whereby many ladies rarely wear Aquaten.
In terms of scent, you should test this fragrance. Even if in the comments a lot of praise comes it is split in the statements. I must say: Grade the top note is very special. Extremely loud, intrusive, also somewhat synthetic, but very unique. Here you do not have the feeling that you have smelled this already felt 1000x. In the opening you get a lot of tart grapefruit, herbs that give a slightly greenish touch and musk that is actually perceptible throughout the course. Not a heavy animalic musk, but very smooth. After the pyramid white musk, which I usually like better than this typical old-fashioned musky touch. The somewhat penetrating top note subsides after 1-2 hours and you get an extremely smooth aquatic. Very maritime with great aquatics with salt and wood. Even if the fragrance is well perceivable this part has from the heart note a very mild touch with pleasant aquatic. You can say you get what's in the pyramid without any really nasty surprises: Citrus grapefuit, greenish herbs, seawater with salt,driftwood and algaey seaweed, mild orange blossom with lots of light musk. The currant is very restrained. For me, a coherent creation with habitual but uniquely opening. As I said: due to great performance perfect for daily use. A working day he should exist, which is quite unusual in the freshness and Aquatik genre.

Who is looking for a really very authentic Aquatik fragrance will find here rather less. Nevertheless, a nice gentle Crowdpleaser, which already stands out

Aquat of the Champions League
After "Red Tobacco" convinced me the house Mancera again with the fragrance "Wave Musk".
Mancera was born in 2008 and is quite known for quite persistent and silagekräftigen fragrances. Also with Wave Musk has succeeded quite well, especially if you consider the fact that this fragrance is the fresh-aquatic style.

But from the front:
Already as the fragrance in its gold-colored, really appealing outer packaging arrived with me, my anticipation was increased. At first you might want to think, the color gold does not fit so at all to a fresh Aquaten, but maybe it does, let's wait and see!
After opening the package you meet the next great detail.
The fragrance is wrapped in a gold-colored sachet that makes a great impression haptically and visually.
The overall package immediately seems more high-quality, the joy continues to rise.
From the bag you then finally grab the Wave Musk. A manceratypische bottle, which also appears high-quality and visually appealing.
Conclusion: Successful design and marketing

As a big fan of aquatics and fresh fragrances, I had this fragrance after a tip immediately in my sights.
The preceding comments are already very accurate in their description of the fragrance and rightly awarded "top comment".

The fragrance starts with a very dominant citric. Often one connects the whole with the quite often encountered lemon DNA, here, however, not. Here it is clearly the grapefruit, although less natural than synthetic, yet not disturbing to my nose. There is less of an aquatic DNA to be perceived in the first few minutes. Mentally, I thought: "Where should this please be an aquat, where is the sea, the maritime note and Co.".
I admit it, I'm impatient, but knew at the same time, since the tip came from a nevertheless very experienced Parfumo, which is definitely still developing!

And so it is. No 10 minutes pass and the fragrance develops magnificent notes that can be clearly assigned to an aquatic. The sea water with its slightly salty note is perceptible, but also woody components come to light. If you wait a little while, so join also the seaweed-like odor composites.
And all that, from minute 10, in an indescribably soft, pleasant and friendly composition, for which the very angehme incorporated musk should be responsible.
I must confess, musk and my person, that is such a thing.
But I can reassure anyone who has similar ambivalence to musk. Here you do not have to worry, everything very well matched and skillfully combined.
By the way, you can not get rid of the citrus. Over the entire course of the fragrance, the grapefruit clings stubbornly to each phase.

I could imagine that even people who are not necessarily on Aquaten, find here a fragrance that could also be pleasant and wearable for them.

Persistence of this fragrance is really extraordinary for an Aquaten.
The silage is also not to be underestimated, just with 1-2 sprays more he can bring quite potent radiance with him.

For me Wave Musk is definitely a fragrance that belongs in the Champions League, whether it is enough for the gold medal?

A spray of summer vacation
Beach, sea, sunscreen. All this and the associated joie de vivre contains this Mancera. A perfect summer / holiday fragrance that does not just want to make you fresh with lemon. The musk in the base makes it soft and velvety.

#TrippleS "Signature-Summer-Scent"!
Mancera's "Wave Musk" is an aquatic-green freshie, which has a very familiar and pleasing DNA - for me, the opening reminds me a little of Acqua di Gio "Absolu" meets - "Profondo".

On the other hand, with its rather green-dominant opening interplay of citrusy-spicy notes and the sea salt-seaweed-musk impact, it is again relatively unique and different!
As the fragrance progresses, the citrus and, above all, the seaweed/musk mix fade away or rather fade into the background and a pleasant creaminess is added for me, which, however, always remains fresh/refreshing in the basic tone!
All in all, the wheel hasn't really been reinvented, but it does have something of its own and therefore absolute signature potential - especially for spring/summer!
The sillage and longevity are for me personally - actually in the usual Mancera quality - really top, especially for a fresh fragrance!

This is a high pitched ozonic clean soap musk bomb. Somewhat watery and white fresh floral. But it's a musk bomb. Very nice. 8.5/10

Wow, this smells like a fresh, wet grassfield at the italian or french riviera. But literally grass though, it's weird, not worth it imo.
