Just purchased this at Saks here on 5th Avenue- NY. The only common note with the original is the citrus. Not at all a carbon copy of the OG. Intense also seems perfect for all seasons, except high humidity. Weather in NY is getting warmer with cool nights, and Intense Boise is universal for most temperatures. Very adaptable scent.
Just got mine after a very tedious process. I ordered from their EU website, had it delivered to UK then had it delivered again to Middle East. I like the intense version more. It’s stronger, the fruitiness in the opening stays longer than the OG and the dry down is definitely woodier. Mancera is a very attainable niche house for me and I love every fragrance I blind bought from them.
I'm about to blind buy Intense Cedrat Boise as well. The online retailer I will be purchasing from is in another country which is about 200 miles (or 350km) from where I live. I've used this online retailer before so I am confident they will deliver just like they did in the past.
Wow. I’m wearing the OG on one arm and the INTENSE on the other. I also have them both on scent strips. This is such an accurate descriptive review. Initially I couldn’t tell a difference but as they’ve dried down and I’ve listen to Sebastian’s review while smelling-- his review is absolutely on point.
I enjoy, very much, "Aventus"-style fragrances. I haven't tried either of those two Mancera fragrances, but I'd certainly like to try them. I own and enjoy: Nishane "Hacivat", Mont Blanc "Explorer", and Armaf "C.D.N.I.M.".
@@holygrapie "Hacivat" might have been reformulated, but it still smells good. If one were to buy it now, they might end up with a very potent batch or they might end up with a batch which is not as strong as another one. You should sample "Hacivat".
I’ve blind buy cedrat original due to the hype around it , and i’am not a big fan of it , but the description that you gave for this one looks like a version that i could like , but this time no blind buy haha
Took me a while for it to grow on me! Give it a chance. It's my only interest of the house. But do give it a chance! Perhaps smelling Hacivat or Creed could help put Cedrat in perspective.
That vanilla note on the original was just too overpowering. I'm glad you said it's less w/ the Intense - I'll definitely have to get a sample first of this one for sure though, just in case!
Looking forward to getting this, the original is one of very few in my entire collection where i have had multiple people asking what it was to buy it! Great video
Thanks Brutha , I really love Cedrat Boise I put a big dent in it last Summer and look forward to grabbing it when it comes down a bit .. I really like the idea of Oud in it ! Cheers 😎
I have the original, but I was excited to try this one. The first one just doesn't last for me. Only thing is I have so much left that getting this new version probably doesn't make sense until I finish the original.
Depends on what you want the fragrance for. I found that in my collection I had too many cool/cold weather options and only a couple that really work for the summer. Those two, like Cedrat Boise, are really year rounders that I choose to wear in warm weather. Intense Cedrat Boise is too potent to wear in the summer. Start sweating, and you are going to choke people out.
I’m wearing the intense today and I don’t think this will be as popular w/the general population or younger folks, it’s not mass appealing. However I think fragrance enthusiasts will like it more. It’s the Cedrat Boise for enthusiasts.
Interesting review, another UA-camr put out the same fragrance review today and basically said the opposite to what you said. He said, pineapple, more fruit and less woods. You mentioned no pineapple less fruit and more woods. I guess that's why fragrance is art. Each person can perceive it differently. Great review, I have the OG and I'm not quite sure yet about purchasing the new one. I love, love, love the OG.
No this is soft. I find both Cedrat Boise to be softer than Hacivat. But then again noses are different. I guess I can see the ICB does a little more than CB! :)
Thanks for the quick reply Hacivat is a great fragrance as I bought it for the fragrance that I will use for my upcoming wedding based on your reviews. I'm a fan of your rivews, keep up the great work.
I am a BIG fan of original and just bought a backup bottle and its performance is a BIG disappointment compared to my older bottle year 2019, the new is 11/2021..any thoughts on that??
Hi Sebastian is this man's or unisex i have never owned a fragrance ftom the house i have ordered this new one that you reviewed i used your link please let me know if its feminine enough i don't mind unisex as long as they not too masculine thankyou for you reviews on fragrance i enjoy your videos 😊
I don't like the original, the opening is great but on my skin that dies after 5min and it turns way too sweet and it reminds me of Axe Africa. sweet, fruity and spicy on my skin. Kind of cheap smell
The only Mancera that I've had the opportunity to smell is Sicily which is wonderful, at least in the opening. I wish there was a boutique in my city that featured the collection but alas, nowhere around here has them and I'm reluctant to blind buy them.
I’m glad to hear that people actually like the intense. I blind bought it, and I swear, it smells like lemon pine sol to me :(… So much so, that I haven’t worn it since I received it in the mail more than a week ago. Maybe it gets better in the dry down? Maybe the original is better….
I'm looking forward to this very much. Original CB has become kinda my signature warmer weather scent. Unfortunately, it's still not available anywhere in Czech Republic.
@@ianokay Maybe around 50 bottles, excluding back-ups, few niche, mostly the heavy hitters - Cedrat Boise, Red Tobacco, Layton, Reflection Man, Intense Cafe... and a few Guerlains if you consider them niche.
I actually compare Cedrat Boise more to Aventus Cologne, since it’s more a citrus with a woody backbone, putting it into the Cedrat Boise style, so much so I passed on Aventus Cologne lol. Looking forward to Cedrat Boise Intense though!
I already got the Chance to smell the Intense Vision, it is nice but to be honest for me it is not better then the og. So for everybody who already got a Bottle of the og, you don‘t Need the intense in my opinion. Mancera got a few other great fragrances, so take a different one.
Being honest - I have move on, from mancera. To more '' up market '', complex fragrances. if I can compare Boss to montage/mancera. They have diluted their house/name, with too many fragrances. I have about eight of mancera fragrances, they all have A theme running through them. The same note in ALL of them. If you like this house, then you are onto a winner. Even if you like it so much where you can just smell, recognise their smell. As I also was once a '' beginner ''..... We all have to learn.
Another intense. The og was strong enough. I guess it was reformulated and watered down to sell this intense nonsense. I wish rhey would stop playing these games if tweaking a fragrance and calling it something new. These perfumers have run out of ideas and are stuck on this rollercoaster ride of edp parfum extreme intense crap. Just leave the og with it’s good performance and come up with something unique after that.

Which one do you like more?
How long does it last comparing to og?
So you couldn't tell immediately after spraying both of them on each arm that they smell completely different?? Wat. Lol.
I enjoy, very much, "Aventus"-style fragrances. I haven't tried either of those two Mancera fragrances, but I'd certainly like to try them. I own and enjoy: Nishane "Hacivat", Mont Blanc "Explorer", and Armaf "C.D.N.I.M.".
How does Hacivat compare to the rest? Is it its own beast?
@@holygrapie Hacivat didn’t work for me - could have been a bad sample
I got lemon, air, and alcohol
that was a Lucky Scent sample experience
@@holygrapie "Hacivat" might have been reformulated, but it still smells good. If one were to buy it now, they might end up with a very potent batch or they might end up with a batch which is not as strong as another one. You should sample "Hacivat".
@@holygrapie I agree with Wilbur.
The reformulated Hacivat is nothing special.
Cedrat Boise/Intense for me are nothing remotely close to Aventus.

This is perfect for my husband and he needs a new summer scent. I like the idea of the ore intensity. Thanks Sebastian.

Was it ? I thought that there was not enough of vanilla in it 🙈 tastes differ 😂
Phew it's out finally. Been counting the days. Does it work? I gots to check it out. I like your comparison very much. Thanks Sebbs.
Thank you for all you do. the patience, the time, the consistency and the quality of detail in every video. God bless you
Looking forward to getting this, the original is one of very few in my entire collection where i have had multiple people asking what it was to buy it! Great video
i have yet to add a Mancera to my collection - you might just now have convinced me to try this new one. thank you, Sebastian.
Nice video once again...I have the original...I will try the new intense version and see if it's will grow me me...
In depth review 👍. A part of me wants a screamer ( beast mode ) coupled with the complexity. Definitely, saving my coins for it.
Thanks I don't have either and was about to buy the OG after a sample........ Will go straight for the intense now!!
PERFECT TIMING!! I LITERALLY JUST GOT MY BOTTLE IN THE MAIL FROM SAKS ❤️
Thanks for your review, Sebastian! I'm sticking with the og!😊
Thanks Brutha , I really love Cedrat Boise I put a big dent in it last Summer and look forward to grabbing it when it comes down a bit .. I really like the idea of Oud in it ! Cheers 😎
I love the OG and had intended to buy a back up. I will definitely get the Intense once it comes out on discount.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
I just got my bottle of intense cedrat Boise in the post and I absolutely love it
Got mine today it’s my first Mancera & I blind bought it 😂😌👌🏾 Saks had it to pre order
I will buy a bottle as a backup for my regular Cedrat Boise bottle even if they’re a little different. Thanks for the review Sebastian!!!
No problem!
I have the original, but I was excited to try this one. The first one just doesn't last for me. Only thing is I have so much left that getting this new version probably doesn't make sense until I finish the original.
Had it sitting for a couple months. More woody, less lemon but very smooth sits closer to the skin. Lovely release by Mancera
The OG version = More FRUITY (Seductive)
The INTENSE version = More WOODY (Masculine)
Depends on what you want the fragrance for. I found that in my collection I had too many cool/cold weather options and only a couple that really work for the summer.

I ❤ it! Also Aoud Vanille... for a simplicity that few strong perfumes have.
Interesting to try the intense version find the OG pretty light weight.
Dear Sebastian, Great review I have not been disappointed by anything this house offers. Thanks a million
My pleasure!

They don't make an extrait and make it stronger by adding fruits now do they? LOL!
@@ThePerfumeGuy no, they don't...and it was a first impression video so maybe he just needs a bit more time to fully understand it.

A perfume I'm exited to add to my collection. 😍
The original is amazing and I am looking forward to Intense
Yes excited for this.

Email Mancera and ask if Cedrat has been reformulated
Thanks for your thoughts 🥃
intense delvers what is expected from it. ts already beast and will turn hulk in near future.

I was doubtful to buy original,an ended up buying t d hermes givree,which I feel disappears quickly,guess wil go for it next week
I've been ready for this
I have 2 bottles that gets caught with the screw cap. Really annoying! The new sprayer is so much nicer too.
You mean the original cedrat Boise ? I purchased a bottle of cedrat Boise I think mine will be with the magnetic cap I hope it’s a good fragrance 🤓
@@ted_the_teddy6353 well is it?
i have had cedrat Boise, its amazing, thats all i have to say to that special parfum
Cedrat boise always in my collection but I'm very curious to try the intense one.
Keep me posted! :)
I own the original Cedrat Boise, does it go in the direction of instant crush?
When this is $100 or less I will definitely pick it up!
When do you think that will be?

in my country it costs 75-80$ for 120ml=)

Great review) best regards
Thank you for the review 😊
@The Perfume Guy can you please make a video on the bear fragrances between the price of 100-200 usd?
I don't like the original, the opening is great but on my skin that dies after 5min and it turns way too sweet and it reminds me of Axe Africa. sweet, fruity and spicy on my skin. Kind of cheap smell
Not everything is for everyone!
Same impression and experience here. Gave it away .... Not for me or my skin type.
Great review you could make a TOP 10 fragrances for mothers day plzzz
I might like it. I don’t like too much fruitiness in fragrance but I like citrus notes. I adore ambergris and oak moss.
Very Nice Sabastian!
Niceeee seb
👏🏾👍🏽👌🏾🕺💯💣🔥💣🔥
So many upgrades of famous Fragrances are coming this year. I'm waiting for Gris Charnel Extrait de parfum. The OG is so gorgeous
OOH yes.
The only Mancera that I've had the opportunity to smell is Sicily which is wonderful, at least in the opening. I wish there was a boutique in my city that featured the collection but alas, nowhere around here has them and I'm reluctant to blind buy them.
Which is better for a woman to wear?
I am going to buy the intense version since I do not own the OG
Pls make a video full video on mancera melody of the sun 🌞
Just found out about intense and already own and love the OG…going to blind by…can’t go wrong with this house…great job as always Sebastian…
I like the og more but heard that it was reformulated should i risk it and buy the og?
Unfortunately this one still does not appear as one of the options in Mancera's sample and travel sets though.
obsessed with cedrat boise....
Dude, u r my frag. god!
More power in mancera cedrat boise intense✌️✌️✌️
I love the original, and curious to sample this
Which should I get specifically for summer/high heat?
get the Intense!
I hope my next quarterly bonus is good. 🤤
whats your opinion of 'Silver Blue' by Mancera? There isn't alot of reviews on here of it
I haven't tried it? :(
great one, underrated
Cedrat Boise BLOWS away Aventus
A great comparison with the original.
Thank you.
I’m glad to hear that people actually like the intense. I blind bought it, and I swear, it smells like lemon pine sol to me :(… So much so, that I haven’t worn it since I received it in the mail more than a week ago. Maybe it gets better in the dry down? Maybe the original is better….
i got it its really nice
THAT LINK DOESNT WORK where can a grab a bottle?
This sounds wonderful. Curious if there are any scents that you’d rather like more in milder version than intense. May be a list :)
I think that the pineapple accord, i.e. which is in "Aventus"/"Aventus"-style fragrances, is one of my favorite aspects of perfumery history.
There were pineapple accords before Aventus.. it was not the first
@@pradeep_sekar which scents? I’d be willing to go down the rabbit hole
The original Cedrat Boise is a masterpiece, definitely picking up the new one.Thanks Sabatian for all of your hard work.
My pleasure! Thank you for your support! :)
I have the original is the new different enough to have both ?
Yes it is
Off topic.. Seems like your favourite Dior Homme Parfum has been discontinued globally 😕
No longer on Dior France/Europe website
Oh wow! Sad day upon us. I'm buying up bottles on my trip in June!
@@ThePerfumeGuy If you are able too.. yes, deww ittt 😀
So which one is sweet? 🤣
Why my bottle of intense cedrat boise got eau de parfum on the bottom if it supposed to be extrait
That's strange cause mine says Extrait De Parfum! Do you have a fake? Or did Mancera change the concentration?
i think mancera just fucked up at the beginning, saw multiple with the false "print"
Always found Cedrat to be too synthetic for me....
Which one is more suited for a woman?
They are both unisex and both lean masculine!!
Pls make an updated Molton brown video.
Made a perfume with good strength.
Then cut it half after some time.
And then made "ANOTHER ONE"like INSTANCE or something.😏🤙
True but ,we all run out and buy it therfore the colonge company gets the last laugh 😆
I wonder how this compares to Elysiuim from Roja
Not identical. This is more in line with something like Aventus.
💙💚 Sounds interesting 💜💛
Mancera fragrances are excellent. 👍👍
I'm looking forward to this very much. Original CB has become kinda my signature warmer weather scent. Unfortunately, it's still not available anywhere in Czech Republic.

I don't see an accent on the E in BOISE. So, and maybe I'm wrong, doesn't that make the pronunciation "BWAZ"?
I like the bwazay!
Bwaz wouldn't make any sense in french. There should be an accent on the final vowel.
No accent necessary on capitalised letters in French
I hate that Cedrat Boise was good because it made people think anything else from Mancera was worth even considering.
I know , instant crush smells like puke 🤮
@@NEPALESE.AMERICAN like puke? It actually smells like vomit? Grow up.
I would tend to agree, there's a few great ones and a lot of bad ones.
@@NEPALESE.AMERICAN It's actually absurd to me that reviewers pedaled it as smelling like BR540
