You are on to something, Matt. Love this one. I think it was the second Mancera I picked up; got it as a blind buy off eBay for a song. It never really got my attention as a favorite, but over the last few years it's gotten to be the one I gravitate to most often. Started by layering it under simple linear scents that just seemed too dimple or dull, but now I appreciate it's subtle charms and it stands on its own. Incidentally, love Red Tobacco but have been caught out with it when I really wished I hadn't - it's like waking up,with Superman's strength and crushing every hand you shake. Such awesome content, Matt! What UA-cam should be.
Great review, Matt. The thing for me with Mancera is that there are too many and the ones I want, or the newer ones, I can't seem to find. My favorites from the brand are the summer ones.
this sounds nice fair do's, will try get a sample, have tried most of the mancera's, one of my favs from mancera is the aoud......some of the mancera's do have a bit of the parisi about them in terms on longevity, some of them are well worth the money
I'm not the biggest fan of quite a lot of Mancera frags as many of them are pretty heavy on the "ketone" smelling musks in the drydown. However Sand Aoud is a very good creation. I really like it.
Hi Mat, strange, I got a bottle from all-beauty of this one. But noone can smell it on me, even if I spray lots on my clothes. Do you think they have duds sometimes? It's a screw top they sent me, maybe old, but still, should project a bit shouldn't it? (Even early on, people can't smell it, even in close proximity in a car for example)
That is very strange , I have used All Beauty many times with no issues. This is a perfume that people should definitely be able to smell on you. I would contact them buddy
Thanks for showcasing Sand Aoud. One of my favorites from Mancera and so overlooked. Hard to pick a favorite but you should give Hindu Kush a try.

Thank you for your lovely words buddy. Sand Aoud is a delight of a fragrance. I really like Kumquat Woods as well at the moment
@@QuestioningScents - I just acquired a sample of Kumkat Woods; look forward to hearing your opinion sometime in the future!
Its a beautiful and unique fragrance, very classy too. I love it.
@@LWNightmareSheriff I absolutely love it 😀
Well described Matt. Great to see another review from you.
Thanks mate and in glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully the technical issues are behind us and it's all full steam ahead 👍

Yeah I know what you mean there are bloody hundreds of them 🤣
Which mancera would you say sand aoud is the most similar to? I tried aoud exclusif on your recommendation and that one was amazing indeed!
Matt, fantastic review, thanks…
You are very welcome buddy

Agreed mate

Glad you enjoyed this one as well my friend
Smells a little like Azzaro Acteur?
I was just wondering where you were yesterday, and here you are!
I've been tempted by the lemon offerings from Mancera, do you have any reccos?
Lemon Line is a great one mate as is Aoud Lemon Mint
How does Precious Oud fare in the great scents that you cited?
Pretty well actually, precious oud is a decent fragrance
Lol….there is no escape! 😂😂😂

@@QuestioningScents OK thanks!
This is (almost) a beast mode niche, so this doesn't make sense
try kumkat
Is it blind buy worthy?
For my personal perspective, definitely mate
Wearing Red Tobacco u tend to see a lot of these faces🥴
