Of course, after spraying it on, the association came to me directly: That smells like Aventus. But the Cedrat Boise by Mancera is much more than that. I would even go so far as to say that the fragrance is not a twin of the most popular Creed at all, but just put it in the same fragrance family.

Immediately after spraying, you get a fruit cocktail in the nose that has washed. A fruit explosion! The black currant plays here clearly the main role and gives the fragrance a woody mood. But citrusy notes also emerge. In the course of the fragrance, it remains more or less constant, but drifts more and more into soft woods.

The durability is above average. More does not need to be said about it. He holds quite the whole day and you do not need to worry that he quickly evaporates. The fruit explosion in the opening is also likely to draw one or the other attention to itself, but the fragrance is of course in the course of time more and more skin.

For me, Cedrat Boise is a super spring and summer perfume. Due to its fruitiness, it is perfect in warmer temperatures.

And because it's so nice, the comparison to Aventus that many draw. As mentioned before, the scents don't have too much in common, except for the overall impression. Once you take a closer look at both you realize how different they are. Cedrat Boise is definitely fruitier to me, if not a bit sweeter. It's also smoother, softer, and doesn't tick as much. Aventus is more towards citrusy-smoky, and has more edge to it that you can also really like. Furthermore, the Aventus works for me a little brighter and CB a little darker. In the end, it's a matter of taste which one is better. For me, both do not make the other superfluous, because they are nevertheless different, and it is worth owning both.

Conclusion:
Cedrat Boise is a very strong, pleasing scent for warmer days that seduces and intrigues with its blend of fruits. The woods, which come out nicely in the drydown, drive it towards the woods, and that pleases. The scent is super tuned and perfectly balanced and I can see why so many like it. Translated, by the way, it means woody lemon, which I think fits quite well.

This fragrance was my first fragrance, after I have dealt with more intense with perfumes. And he has triggered in me what many others have not managed to do, and still does.

Immediately after spraying it on, you're already met with such a sweet and fruity blend that just the opening alone should make most fall in love. I would describe it more accurately as a fresh citrus fruit opening, in which the juicy apple clearly takes the main role and is responsible for the fruitiness. Underpinning it all is a bubbly citrusiness that logically comes from the lemon. It resonates in the opening but subliminally something slightly fresh, herbaceous, the mint, which comes along very successfully and fits perfectly in this combination. Also the base is already clearly recognizable, which later of course comes to the fore. And this is a sweet vanilla-tonka bean meeting of the very finest, which rounds everything off perfectly and gives the fragrance its mood.

Versace Eros is a youthful seducer who is not too shy for anything and therefore also likes to strut loudly and confidently through the nightlife. Because that's where he feels most comfortable and that's where his home is, in the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Eros has a good shelf life and a BOMB sillage. A very loud and extroverted fragrance, which likes to hit the dirt.

There's only one small snag for me with this fragrance, and that's its synthetics. He is unfortunately not the most natural. But despite that, he is an all-around successful Scent and in terms of price, in my opinion, unbeatable. Because he is a cheap designer, you must not lose sight of that.

Versace Eros stands out for me. It is not generic or even boring, it has that certain something to stand out and above all to please. Simply that certain twinkle in the eye. And therefore gets the fruity-sweet Extrovert a clear recommendation and is a fragrance that belongs in the collection.

First of all, I would like to clarify that this review will not be a comparison and vs race. Because it is obvious, clearly the Privé No 1 is a dupe to Christian Dior's Bois D'Argent. However, I haven't smelled the "original" yet, but I've been told that the scent is very, very close to BdA. So, that must be enough.

Now for the Privé No 1 Intense. I'll be honest, I sprayed it on for the first time and was immediately flashed. A woody, smoother but still clear and cool scent comes to your nose. With a lot of depth! I also find that it's hard to pick apart and describe this scent in detail. It kind of makes an overall impression, a damn good one! If you were to deconstruct it, the main notes for me would be resins, woods, some sweetness but very restrained, and something metallic. It just smells classy and expensive, which brings us to the next point. The No 1 smells like money. Really cash. I never would have thought of this before, but after hearing it once I thought, dude STIMM. To me, it's now the quintessential money scent.

Privé is perfectly balanced for me. No note interferes or goes down. Simply perfectly tuned.

Durability and sillage are in order. Not overly strong but also by no means weak. Good midfield just.

Conclusion:
The Privé No 1 has quickly become one of my favorites, however, if I want to wear it, I must have Bock on it. So it is not an "always walker". But if you appreciate him and intuition says: today he will be, then he is just hammer. For me, it's more of a late winter to spring scent. It has a certain coldness due to the slightly metallic, but also a warmth, due to the woods and the sweetness, which want to stand up to it all, but don't quite manage it. Thus, for me, it remains a scent that tends to be rather cool with nice resins to put in it. Simply good.

What else to say about this fragrance?

When you spray it on for the first time, you just think: WOW, that pleases. And so it should go most, no matter what likes and dislikes you have. This fragrance is all around round! Without corners and without edges. It is so smooth, so soft, almost pale, but still with substance, if that makes sense?!

Prada L'Homme is the epitome of "clean" for me. And no one should have problems with "clean". So it is the opposite of a strict animalic oud, which could well be polarizing. He is unobtrusive and above all: pleasing!

And that's reflected in other people's feedback. Everyone likes it. I have not yet heard from anyone: "I do not know, he does not say so to me". So in my opinion, compliments are bound to come.

In terms of sillage, you can't complain. He projects well, but not outstanding, which he does not want at all! Keyword: unobtrusive. The performance is also okay, so he does not last super long, but you can have fun with him for quite a while.

For me THE spring fragrance! I see Prada L'Homme on the first warm days of spring. Since he fits like a glove on the eye, and complements the sprouting flowers around you perfectly.

Conclusion:

Prada L'Homme is a clean, smoother and pleasing spring fragrance to feel good, with which you do not polarize, but draws people to his side.

This Guerlain is from the fragrance just great class. Immediately after spraying on comes the association: cherry! Although it is not specified as a fragrance note, you can perceive it quite clearly. But it's not just cherry. The fragrance is very complex and deep, and you can smell that already in the top note. The leather makes it very masculine and another big player, almond, resonates subliminally all the time. If I had to describe L'Homme Ideal EDP with a keyword, then it would definitely be "luxurious", because he smells super noble and has niche character. And at an affordable price.

However, there is a catch. The durability. The fragrance does not last very long on the skin and has significant performance deficits, which is also reflected in the sillage. However, this is with a squeezed eye just okay.

Nevertheless, the Guerlain is for me personally the perfect winter fragrance, if you want to smell unique. Because one thing is clear, this fragrance is unique and you will smell different than many are used to, and in a pleasant noble way. About the performance, however, you have to be able to overlook.

A very deep, fruity-leathery, masculine fragrance that I can only recommend to everyone.
