The orris root gives the smokey vibe. For those that don't know, it is the root to the Iris flower. It gives of the powdering/waxy lipstick/makeup bag smell one gets from DHI. The way it is blended with the woods and floral notes creates a very unique vibe to anyone in your scent bubble or silage wake. I LOVE this scent and it a top contender when I want to make an exotic and worldly impression. The intersection of money, taste and class that only comes with years of diverse life experiences. This review was spot on!
i´ve tried it 2 days ago ... gorgeous, luxurious .... i´m done with all the designer fragrances since i´ve been trying niché fragrances .... mancera, montale, serge lutens .... quality ingrediences within .... no synthetic mess inside
Outstanding review! I'm a big fan of Mancera and Montale fragrances...and this one is in my scent wheelhouse and on my Christmas list, for sure. You better believe it!
The oris root gives of that smokey vibe. To my nose it adds more of a dry chalk vibe than smoke. I LOVE this frag and can not say enough about it. Its a real exotic shape shifter so you are 100% spot on when describing how much it changes. That rose and violet combo??? good Lord, it is so good. 10/10 hall of fame bottle in my collection. Have you tries Aoud Violet? I feel I may really like that one as well but cant find any trusted noses that reviewed it.
Blind bought this and Red Tobacco off of your reviews and both are freaking amazing. Black Prestigium gives me slightly the same vibe that I get from oudmazing which I also love.
I've only had a small amount of time with this fragrance line. However there are a few that have caught my attention. I'll put this one on the list to try. Great review homeboy.
I like your spirit! This is next on my “to get” list from the house of Mancera. I already have Gold prestigium, and after listening to your review of black prestigium, I’m sold and I’m gettin it Done!
I now have both in my collection! Gold prestigium is the winner for best scent! So you wanna ask me why? Ok because Gold prestigium is the better smelling frag! It’s smoother, and better blended! Best frag in the entire house of Mancera in my opinion. However, black prestigium still smells “Great” and I really like it!
Yes I have a few montale frags! As of right now my favorite one out of the 4 that I own is called “So Iris Intense” it’s an extrait de parfum concentration! You have to love iris to appreciate it!
I don’t have even close to the fragrance collection that you have, but, I have the same mindset I will wear some opulent smelling stuff in 100° weather and I love it I would wear it to the gym and love it I wear it when I teach yoga and love it I just love your videos and your attitude By the way you always pick really good music and it seems like you have good taste in a variety of music as well
Yeah life's too short to be saving your best for only special occasions . I wear all my best stuff to work and everywhere else . Co worker said to me i shouldn't be using my best most expensive frags to work. I dunno man some people don't get it .
You've hit the nail on the head, this frag is the real deal! It metamorphosis in an unusual manner! For serious fragheads only if you like your frag strong bold rich and deep. Its sister, Mancera Black to Black, is equally stunning and are my favourites from this marvelous house
I own it. I don't experience the scent roller coaster. On me it is very linear, a heavy leather frag with orris/violet/Turkish rose combo. Super heavy leather. I don't smell any Oud, patchouli, musk or spices--these added notes would have been great to smell, particularly Oud, but on my skin they did not stand out at all. In addition, the bergamot did not hit me either. It would have been really welcome to get a refreshing hit of citrus. The amber adds sweetness and "syrupiness". but the smell of it gets mixed with the leather. The wood scents...very little also. For a short moment during the first hour I detect sandalwood very distinctively but then it dies down after the first hour. After that I don't get distinctive woody scents. This is a flowery and leathery oriental perfume, with the orris/violet leading the rose. It smells nice and sophisticated, but it is not a testosterone laden perfume. The leather is elegant and refined, which I welcome because I don't like the rough animalistic and raw type. However, refined leather always smells like women purses to me, which is what this perfume smells like. So it is slightly feminine. See similar comments on Fragrantica. Very long lasting. You must like leather and florals to like this juice. I personally was expecting more Oud, patch, and woods, but Prestgium disappoints me in these departments. I think Black to Black would have been a better choice since i was hoping for more Oud and less leather.
Mr. E, This juice by the house of mancera sounds like one I may have to try out.. I've one from this house that's a paris exclusive you might like called " Aoud Lemon Mint". Ask rajur real deep kool about it. I blessed him with a full bottle some months back. Thanks for your fragrance insight. Very much appreciated. Best. A2 !
A little late to the game but I'm loving Mancera .. Right now I'm torn between Black Prestigium and Black to Black .. these are often referred to as being similar .. Kind sir, please if possible can you let me know what you recommend if I wanted just one of these two?
This is my biggest blind buy and first Mancera. I know I will have to get to know this scent with baby steps but I like the challenge and I knew the risk ( like it or hate it )
1st I wanna thank tha 'Scented Sifu' for shinning light on this gem. If you're not up on this, ya slippin'. Real Player'ish..! Among my most recent acquisitions and a certified bonafide 'showstopper'...!!! Tighten up ya Game and Stay winning!
Hey Eric I went to the Mancera website and they no longer have Black Prestigium available. I have checked online and the prices are retail or more. I use to could buy it for around $80. I emailed Mancera asking did they discontinue it but they haven't got back with me yet. Do you have a bottle to sell?
Holy tihs!!! On ME, they're not even close to similar! Wow! Well, that's just one more reason I love this game. Everyone's skin chemistry is different! Thanks for watching, brotha! :)
Eric I love your videos man keep up the great work I was just wondering how does this compare to aoud vanille and would you pick it over montale aoud amazing and again thank you bro!
I just sprayed 4 sprays and my wife and daughter are having a fit! they say that their eyes are watering and my daughter says it stinks! lol, maybe 4 sprays are too much.
@@Alex-eq7uh Hey Alex. Unfortunately, I never pressed any albums. These tracks are all on my upstairs computer, just sitting there. :( I never really did anything with them.
I'm not gonna bash FragranceX, or any other discount site. I have heard horror stories, and that's a gamble I'd rather not take. This is why I only get legit fluid from legit, authorized boutiques. Just peace of mind, for me. Osswald (NY), Beverly Hills Perfumery (LA), Lucky Scent (LA), Osme (MIA).
Eric I blind bought 8 fragrances because of your videos. Thank you. You are in the top 3 frag reviewers on UA-cam. You, Lanier Smith and Aaron Terrence Hughes are the best.
E Bruh, you’re not lying, this is a very beautiful very opulent fragrance!! I’m a little late getting my bottle as far as from when this review was made, but I’m happy I got it!! Remember I told you that I was going get Journey Man, well I went ahead and bought Tom Ford’s Noir De Noir and Initio’s Oud For Greatness instead!! I got both bottles for the low so I couldn’t pass that killer deal up!! Peace my Brother
I own and like a lot mancera gold prestigium, i would like to buy this one too but it has very simillar notes. What do you think are the simillar or diffrent? Thanks men
Good to see you back in the game, Sir. I know you've been less frequent producing your vids, what with being busy with the new 👪 family addition. I credit your mad unorthodox reviews (Notwithstanding, the awesomely speechless Fusion Sacree review, that I thoroughly,' tongue in cheekily' enjoyed) for stepping up my fragrance game. Happy Holidays to you and yours..... DONE!!!
@@Sahbomnim i dont know why you dont have more subscribers honestly, with the passion you put in, the grafting and the fact you dont talk about usual shit like creed aventus, sauvage is awesome.. btw your pools nice too🥋
I have bought this fragrance today. I dont know why, but i cannot like this. Is this too heavy? Or do i need to get used to it? I do like heavy scents, but this one, cannot enjoy this.
@@Sahbomnim damn after a week or so I cannot live without this perfume. I love it so much, one of the best in my collection definitely! How could I say such things :,)
I own black aoud from montale and its a grandmother rose from start too finish all rose they reformulated the shit out of it people please i repeat do not buy the newer formulation of black aoud by montale.. idk what it smelled like before but i watched reviews and it literally is all rose no other notes just rose it smells horrible theres an amouge fragrance i bought a sample and it was like flowers and old lady soap bars it was horrible as well and it was labeled towards men
I respect your opinion, man. As we know, fragrance is VERY subjective. If it's the rose that you're shading...I mean, if I listed all the fragrances 'marketed' toward men, with the rose note therein, it would bring UA-cam's servers down. Suffice it to say, the days of gender marketed fragrances, are on a precipitous free fall. So, if you subscribe to that contrivance....You'd better get 'em while they're hot, bruh.

Nadir Omara is Mancera Black To Black Oud-heavy? I like Oud but Black Prestigium doesn't give me any Oud smell., however nice it smells.

That music In the intro is awsome, what is it?
Nice review also!
Great review! Can you do your list of top Mancera fragrances?
I will do that. :)
Please do. I am really looking forward to that video
Great review my man!!
You painted quite the fragrance journey. I haven't tried anything from this House yet - do Mancera's typically change a lot after you spray it on?
Depends on which offering. Wild Rose Aoud is linear.
How much you rated from 1 to 10 ? What is the suitable time you can wear this perfume ?💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank You for that sample. One day soon.....gonna grab summdat!!
I just sprayed 4 sprays and my wife and daughter are having a fit! they say that their eyes are watering and my daughter says it stinks! lol, maybe 4 sprays are too much.
MACETON 😂😂😂😂 the only mancera I have in my collection that make my family gag is Mancera The Aoud.
MACETON 4 is to much. 2 is plenty with this
17-18 hours?!. Wow.
the music is so awesome, could you give the singers/titles?
Thank you, Alex!
