Since its release the fragrance from Mancera has been massively hyped and popular throughout the fragrance community.
The brand says;

Great video! OG Cedrat Boise is my therapeutic scent. It is so uplifting. Looking back I can't believe I initially did not like it, but it eventually grew into a love. To my nose the intense is darker and smoother.
Thanks for sharing that Ronald! Glad you like it. I have a few therapeutic scents myself.
Gerard, you have a very straight forward way to describe a scent that speaks to a lot of people. Thanks for this review. Cedrat Boise it has been one of those fragrances always on my list to buy and I ended up buying something else. This time you spoke to me. I pulled the trigger, thanks for helping me on making that decision. Keep up the good work.
I'm happy Victor and that means a lot. When I started the channel I thought that I would do my best to speak to the things I was curious about and what would help me decide. There is a lot of information and trying to not over complicate it was a priority for me. It helps to know you are getting that from my content thank you.
Well said. He's really good at delivering his message. He has perfected the art. I'm glad the algorithm brought his channel to my feed, I'm subscribing asap.
Hey Gerard. This has been one of my favorites for a while. I have the screw on cap also. Never had a performance issue with it either. My wife really likes the way it smells too. Thanks for the video.
You know it!
I have a sample of both and full bottle of Intense. Both last all freaking day on me and project the entire time. I go anosmic to almost every fragrance I wear, but not this one. It smells freaking amazing and started my Mancera and Montale obsession. To me, it's a must have. You could have one or the other or both for summer and winter. Both are year rounders though.
Can't argue with that Benjamin!
Nice review love the video G stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks my man!
Gerard, another great fragrance review. I do not own Mancera Cedrat Boise but I should probably buy the fragrance. Thanks for reviewing the fragrance.
Thanks Ed!
Very dialed in review- hype free, sincere and accurate.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Nice content man. I totally agree on the performance issue ck shock they say lasts 3 hours for me all day 8 hours I might not smell it but others do.
Thanks my man
Good afternoon great video! I think I suffered from the overhyped when I first smelled this. I didn't get it. But over time I see it's purpose. Its a everyday wear in nice weather for me. Love it.
Great point. It’s so hyped that I can see that. Glad it grew on you.
Just got a bottle of this a few weeks ago for the summer, I've always put it off as it was billed as an Aventus clone and I thought it'd be redundant but, this fragrance is excellent definitely room for both!
Totally agree Carl I own both happily!
I have and enjoy both. In my opinion, the Intense is fuller, richer, slightly darker, and less fresh. I actually prefer it to the original as an all around scent, but I still use the original in the summer since it's a little more bright and uplifting. It's similar to the relationship AdG has with Profumo. They're different, but there is a clear family resemblance.
Great info thanks for sharing. I will be trying it.
Completely agree with your opinion regarding the performance of the twist cap vs magnetic cap. I own the twist cap and tried the new one with minimal differences in longevity. CB has never been a beast mode fragrance 7/8 hrs avg longevity with both presentations.
I think that’s the case Roberto. I truly believe in terms of performance, there is just misinformation by reviewers in some cases.
It last 15 on my skin
@@robertjackson1860 15 mins or hours??
When I first bought this, the first 2 days all I could smell was the ashtray someone spilled lemon oil over. I kept wearing it and now it’s one of my favorites of all time. I get more compliments than any of my other scents. It surprises me because I didn’t like it at first but women seem to really respond to it. Magnetic cap btw.
Love to hear this. I get compliments as well.
That's exactly how I feel about the intense!
Same here, it smelled like a urinal cake ashtray out the box. Gave it a couple days and it smelled like walking through a cedar/christmas tree shop with a fruit smoothie
you experienced what they call the fragrance Stockholm syndrome 🫢
That's how I feel about Hacivat just replace lemon with Pineapple.
When I saw the title of this video, I thought for sure you were going to warn the viewers not to buy it, because it's been watered down... So glad to see that wasn't the case. 😊
You got it!
I have the old screw cap bottle that I bought years ago i think in 2019. Great fragrance. I love the leather woody vanilla dry down.
So good. I have the screw cap too
Bought the Intense CB only yesterday. Very smooth with strong citrus notes giving way to an amber, woody exceptionally smooth leather base.
Worn it twice, but yesterday I found I went nose blind to it within twenty minutes or so. Today, it seems much stronger and I'm able to pick up strong wafts of scent throughout the day, but not a continuous scent smell.
I also bought Montale "Sensual Instinct" at the same time, and this seems like a beautifully smooth rose, musk, vanilla scent that's utterly beast mode.
They both sound great Phil.
Got this earlier this year, €80 for 120ml. My first niche scent and I love it! Great video, Gerard 😊
Thanks Frank glad you enjoy it!
You sir are doing it right, Cedrat Boise is a great intro to niche. Be careful my friend, it’s an expensive hole to go down. One day, you’ll find yourself paying $400+ for a big ass bottle of Oud Wood, instantly fall in love with the scent, then need to reapply it fifteen minutes later 😂
Probably my favorite. Great stuff. I'm even getting the intense even if it's redundant.
So good!
Did u get the intense? If so, how is it?
Great video 📹 Brother
Thank you!
Out of my 200 bottles, this ties for my most-complimented, along with Reflection Man. Sadly, they both have the same usage, seasons, etc..
I had to make peace with the froot loops (I still can't spray it on without that association). No denying it's women who flock to it, and my wife's favorite. All scent being subjective, nothing smokey to me here, just cedar/sandalwood, and far in, the most tame, lovely suede.
Great description Jonathan. I still want a bottle of reflection man but I can see what you mean.
You have that Boston accent Gerard. Looking into this as my first niche fragrance.
Yeah Muzi its thick haha. My IG handle is boston_accscents! Great first niche.
I’ve got the magnetic cap and pressurized atomizer. I get great performance. Also as far as scent, I get soft lemon, woods, and lots of leather.
All this
I wish I got more leather but still love it!
Yeah same for me. Got lots of leather on my skin.
@@Ezzad96Have you tried using moisturizer?
I have both Cedrat Boise and the intense version, the intense is just darker smokier, but similar to cedrat boise, think of it as the night time / winter time version of cedrat but ill say the notes are about 90% the same the 10% is the darkness, smokey, a little less bright, less fruity. but similar.
Thanks for sharing Jaime this helps!
I've had a bottle of this for around four years, I have the screw on cap. I agree if you smell it and try to break down the scent it is a vanilla, lemon, and smoke scent. To me it always gave me a creamsicle kind of vibe. I like the scent a lot but I tend to always reach for something else in a time when it would be good (Aventus, Elysium, Afternoon Swim). I own around 100 bottles at this point and it would probably be ranked around 20 for me. I get amazing projection and it wears a long time for me, especially if I spray clothes. Remember to hydrate and if you have dry skin, use a moisurizer or moisturizing body wash. You can scratch your own skin and see if you see a white line for a simple test.
All fantastic points Nicolas. I’ve wanted afternoon swim for awhile now maybe I should grab for summer finally.
@@gerardgeorge It's a comfort scent for me. Reminds me of a fresh bowl of oranges, sitting by the pool, with a drydown of a light musk. Performance is not great on that one though so don't come for me lol.
What’s your top 3 in your collection if this is #20?
I have both Aventus and Cedrat Boise. I have put one up and down one arm and the other up and down the other arm to compare. Cedrat Boise on my skin and clothes smells better and lasted a lot longer than Aventus. I can smell CB on my jacket still 2 days later. I sprayed them on each arm again when I first caught your video on my tv and I keep wanting to smell CB bc of the smokey woods and slight vanilla and bright lemon. To me Cedrat Boise is the clear winner. If you wear Aventus I would say buy a 10ml of CB and compare them on your skin. Curly scents has CB as her favorite men's scent and Curly fragrance has it also in her 10 every man should own. For the record I have a number of Creed fragrances like Green Irish Tweed, Millesime Imperial, and Silver Mountain Water. I enjoy those very much, but did wish they lasted longer and especially for the price. I just personally enjoy Cedrat Boise much more than Aventus. And at $75 vs $275 I can go pick up a bottle of PDF Layton with the money I saved.
Gerard you opened a can of worms I believe! Great stuff as always my friend.
Hahaha I may have opened a can of worms! All fantastic insights. I find CB to last on clothes as well.
Great video! I got mine just yesterday its a 2022 bottle, but I have my doubts on it. For me it smells nothing like fruity notes, all I get is sharp citrus. I dunno whats wrong with my bottle though its my very first niche. Do you think If I let the bottle to mancerate, would that bring out the fruity notes in it?
Give it time Sameh. Initially the lemon will be strong to your nose since you are probably used to smelling designers. You’ll begin to identify more notes and accords the more you wear it and test it.
Nice review and I LOVE that scent but unfortunately sold my bottles (twist on cap) a few years ago and also had a lengthy debate over performance on UA-cam with another fraghead. MY BOTTLE lasted about 45 minutes of projection and 2 - 3 hours longevity. I put it to the test and about 2 hours before my wife got home from work I went ham, bout 20 sprays in the back room and closed the door after. When she got home she could barely smell it off skin. Tried it again some time later (a month or so) same result with multiple people over at the house. I think Mancera had a bad batch or two, some people were victim, hence the intense version now. Just my opinion but I do like your reviews and respect your opinion for sure. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing Robert very interesting! Appreciate the support.
I guess you bought the fake just return it back
@@keneferdinand9761 K
I don't have the OG, just the Intense but from what I understand, they are very similar except a touch of oud in the Intense. I've seen the same complaint about the Intense as the OG, that it doesn't perform well. I think you explained it well, people tend to go nose blind to it. I think either is fantastic, and Aura Fragrances has the OG for $65, which is a total steal for 4 ounces!
Yes I've heard similar things about the intense. Great price for that on Aura.
About the twist cap vs magnetic cap, I emailed Mancera and said that they indeed changed the cap but never reformulated Cedrat Boise since its their most popular fragrance. It makes sense of why would they shoot themselves on the foot by ruining something good?
My magnetic cap CB lasts 8-10 hrs on me, will easily buy another bottle once I finish mine.
Curious about the Intense as well.
Thanks for the info Carlo good stuff!
They ones who complain forget that they need to let it sit around for a month to make it better
Great job
Thank you!
This is one of the few that I would consider essential (Dior Homme Cologne, Spicebomb Extreme, NR Bleu Noir EDP, any BdC, GIT, and Cedrat Boise. 🤷♂️), absolutely a solid daily driver in spring. I bought the Intense, meh, a touch of designer-ish oud and eternal longevity. It would be redundant to own both IMO.
That is a fantastic list.
Coloration is also much different from the older reforulations to the later ones. Newest ones have a very light yellow to the older ones with a more richer yellow, it even shows in the og photos that haven't even been updated lol
Have you had a chance to try the intense yet? I just don't want a completely different scent haha!
@gerardgeorge nah, but I've heard it's more well-rounded, smoother. Performance isn't much different from the pre-formulations. Reviewers are recommending the intense more now since of the reforulations... hope that helps?
thank you for the review! How do you think, is it better than "Bleu de Chanel EDP" or not? What should I go for?
Bleu is more clean and fresh everyday wear. This is too but it’s more unique and I like it better. Bleu is safe and generic but smells great. I personally like this better but your personality and what you like matters too.
@@gerardgeorge appreciate the response. Thank you for the advice and have a great day!
It was one of my favorites a few years ago & I honestly would prefer club de Nuit intense,just because it last longer on my skin!Buuut, with that being said, I wouldn't buy Boise again, after buying Crafted Oud from Maison Alhambra!!! Definitely my favorite for spring this year!Creamy lemon with musk & florals.Literally smells niche but is really cheap for the quality!
Sounds great Jackie!
i got 5ml decants of cedrat boise and afnan supremacy noi. The performance is amazing on my skin and i really like the smell of them both. The only hard thing is deciding which one i will get a full bottle of.
Man I understand the dilemma. The best advice I can give is don't make a decision until you have finished both decants. Wear both in as many situations as possible and at the end of the day you will be pushed towards one or the other. Choose the one you like and not what you think others will like more.
@@gerardgeorge i completely agree. Both my brother and my mom said the afnan noi smells better but i enjoy cedrat boise more at the moment. I can always get them both if i cant make a decision :D
Man I love Cedrat Boise. But it seems like I'm the only one around me. Not quite a complimented fragrance for me, but that's it, I wear it for myself.
That’s all the truly matters Dakota. Thanks for sharing it’s a good point!
I definitely go nose blind with Cedrat Boise original, I've just got the intense and IMO it's definitely different to the OG, I don't seem to go nose blind to it yet but not worn it consistently yet..👍
I still need to try it for sure.
Love Cedrat Boise!
Same Jim!
I own both a twist on cap and a magnetic cap and I can confirm that the twist cap is much stronger, it is more oily and projects better. The scent is almost identical but the longevity is definitely not.
Thanks for sharing!
I thought Cedrat Boise was a little overpriced for what you got and I got the dupe, Cedrat Essense from Paris Corner for like $25 and it was much more worth it. Then I got to try and the Intense version and I did feel that was worth it. Same scent, a little more intense, a little more refined, a lot smoother, and lasted until the next day on my skin. The bottle I tested was at a Scent Bar and was halfway done and clearly macerated a bit, so keep that in mind.
In my opinion, if you have neither, either go for it and get the Intense or save some bucks and the Paris Corner Emir. The original is just a bit redundant with the Intense. That said, if you have the original and don't want to try and sell your bottle or something, just hang onto what you have.
I think that’s sound advice Danny. I’ve heard good things about Paris Corner.
Wow! I saw this comment at the perfect time, I was really considering buying this or a similar scent and I’m going to Paris next month, thanks
The intense isn't as loud, a bit darker and more mature. The overlap though means it's not needed though if you have the OG. Maybe get a bottle when you kill a bottle of the OG
That's what I'm thinking. Will probably grab a decant at some point as well.
I really enjoy this the og with the cap. Great performance and longevity. Don't ask me whether it's screw on or magnetic cause it makes no difference imo
I would agree Colin cap doesn't matter.
I definitely get the ashtray.
You aren’t the only one David
I’ve never smelled this (that I can remember anyway), but I’m looking to get a decant of the Intense.
Let me know what you think Janet.
The intense is great , just got it today in the mail (tester)
Leans masculine imo, and smells
Quite nice
Not great with notes so I can’t explain . Just a nice one id say 👌🏻
I brought this back in February because of all the hype on UA-cam about this fragrance. Not going to lie when I got it I was kind of disappointed. Didn't smell nowhere near as good as people made a seam. Don't get me wrong it's okay but that's about it. I actually started to layer it with latafa' qaed al fursan
Interesting combo might need to try that!
I bought it, I only get mature lemon and smoke at the end. The first time around opening reminded me of Acqua Di Parma Colonia, sort of 70% there.
Thanks for sharing my friend!
Same here, lemony/citrus, then for me im getting light smokey with a hint of brand new car tires.
Can you review jil sander background and is there a scent that is similar to it?
I will check it out. Haven't heard of it.
I use this as proof that there is no such thing as a blind buy. When the sharp opening sweetens a little it's okay for me, but as it dries down on my skin, that woody-leather-muskiness is not pleasant to me. It works better for me in high heat -- I find the citrus-sweet vanilla pops a little more for me and the woody-leather-spicy base is toned down. But I'd rather wear Elysium or a clone of Elysium when I want citrus blast that dries down to sweet musk. But I will wear this still if there are enough consecutive 90 degree+ days because I do not like repeating fragrances and I only have so many that work in really high heat.
I understand completely. Funny enough there have been moments where I get a good amount of leather but I don't remember the circumstances.
Gerard, you might like the Intense, but I don't think you'll want a bottle, because it is very similar. Definitely sample first. On my skin, it was stronger on the woody-leather-spicy notes and the citrus was toned down. I know you're a fan of those notes, but for me, the Intense was stronger on the notes I don't like and weak on the ones I do.
Thank you for this. Will definitely sample it.
Bought 120ml for €55
Its great
Favorite with bleu de chanel edp
Absolute steal for that price!
cedrat boise was my first and still is my signature scent and there is definitely a difference between the 2 caps. my first bottle of cedrat boise was the twisty cap and my 2nd bottle was the magnetic cap and the twisty cap has a creamy finish on it, not sure if its vanilla or something, but the magnetic cap doesnt have it. i thought i needed to let it sit for a while, so i did and the mag cap definitely smells better after letting it sit for a couple months but it still doesnt compare to the original twisty cap unless the vanilla smell comes up after letting it sit over a year or something because my mag cap still doesnt compare to the couple drops left of the twisty cap that i have left. my twisty cap also has a stronger projection and lasts longer, not confirmed but just from my experience and my nose.
maybe i got a bad batch, but my 2 bottles are definitely different.
the intense has a stronger lemon and wood smell but it still doesnt have the creamy finish that my twisty cap cedrat boise has that the mag cap is missing
There was also a window of time where they went from mag to twist back to mag. Makes no sense they would screw with the formulation at the time but who knows what they are doing. If you ask the brand they say it was never reformulated.
@@gerardgeorge every fragrance store employee that carries mancera that ive asked said its all conspiracy but i have the 2 bottles side by side to compare it and they're different and curlyfragrance said that they reformulated too so make of that what you will. but also the sprayer changed too so it might be the sprayer spraying a more misty spray on the magnetic cap vs a more juicy spray on the twisty cap that makes it spray for spray less concentrated
@@gh0stfacej0ker great point regarding the sprayer
My signature for years ❤
Perfect signature scent!
@@gerardgeorge Absolutely 👌🏼
I’ve just sampled the intense version. I think they both have their place.
Though, I’ve grown so fond of the OG and I’m sticking to it.
Never ever, have I had so many compliments, from one fragrance.
I bought a new bottle two months ago and there’s no) if any), difference from the one’s that I bought years back. Just to clarify 👍🏼
Looking for a new signature. Finished a bottle of Montblanc Explorer, looking for something of that sort for daily wear to school, work etc. So Cedrat Boise came to mind. Have not tried it, is it blind buy worthy if I like Explorer? The regular or intense? Mancera is kinda hard to get your hands on where I live. Cedrat Boise Intense is unavailable I think, but the OG is available for like $120.
OG is more than serviceable as a daily driver. I think you would like it if you like explorer. It’s a bit richer with more depth but easy to like.
Aura Fragrances online $65.00 for 120ml.
I just got my cedrat boise today and it says 2013 on the box does that makes a difference if it's that old?
If it was kept under good conditions it should be fine. No direct sunlight or extreme temps. Great find where did you get it??
I just received my 15ml travel spray today. First niche I've smelled. I guess I'm just not there in my frag journey. If this is beginners niche idk if I'll ever get there 😂 I'll stick to designers for now 🤢 I'll take Eros all day everyday over this lol maybe one day I'll get there but definitely not today
Hahaha I totally understand. You'll get there don't give up on it just yet!
I bought the new bottle because I had only 20 ml decant of the older one which i had mostly used up... maybe 6 ml left.
Side by side there is a big difference in projection. The og pushes out right at the start much better. Both smell similar up close but og just projects better by alot. Now I doubt a😊nosmia is playing a roll when i have them both on at the same time, but maceration might?
They both still get decent longevity just one sits closer to the skin.
I have a conspiracy theory that when the intense came out they cut some corners on the new bottles of CB to justify people buying the newer one as they did lower the price of the og right after release. Hopefully, I'm wrong and it is just maceration.
Very interesting.
CBI is great!
I prefer it over the OG
Thanks Josh! Hopefully I can do a side by side soon.
I've just got the intense version sprayed only 5 times yesterday on face and neck, trained at the gym, showered, slept, this morning could still smell it i don't dare do more sprays I'd blow peoples head's off 😂
Hahaha I gotta get my hands on the intense and do a comparison.
I bought this a while ago, i like it and get good performance but i never reach for it from my collection im not sure why
I have my favorites too Douglas but at the same time have this channel so I try many different things to talk about even though many days I feel like wearing the same thing out of convenience!
You have to like leathery facets with synthetic vibes. I have a decant due to the hype but the aventus dna is superior when I want to have a fruity masculine smell.
I love both but I agree.
BRrooo I'm iN lOVee with the Cedrat bois intense bottle I will eventually purchase the reg I love it so much I have a magnetic cap lol my shit is strong aF & Iike I say I really lOVe iT ....
Sounds 🔥🔥
Went for Red Tobacco even its really different but since I have to mailorder I didnt wanna gamble which bottle Id get. May try Intense next.
I have Cedrat Boise and Tonka Cola. Red Tobacco may be next.
How’s Tonka Cola Jim? That one sounds nice .
I can’t remember what red tobacco smells like. Gotta test it.
@@gerardgeorge its got a similar vibe as Enigma. Not as polished, but still similar.
@@gerardgeorge Just be careful. Its really strong and stays on you for ages 😃
I want to try this! Is it safe to buy from online discount stores or from big box stores?
Aura has it for $65 right now
Yes online discounters are fine.
I love cedrat boise❤
Good stuff Mizan!
The Intense version is super special,… last longer on the skin, beast mode in heat.
Bro I agree with you
Thanks brotha!
I wonder if the original does without the leather scent that the intense has. I hated the intense because of that prominent leather scent.
I think its subtle Chris at least on me.
Do you think this mencera better than club the nuit intense?
My personal tastes, absolutely.
Mancera cedrat boise Can we use this perfume in winter?
Yes! Has a smokey edge to it that makes this super versatile.
The bottle you have with you seems to be the one with the screw on cap, therefore it is an old bottle since as you know all new bottles come with magnetic caps.
Why is this important? Cause according to many other reviewers Cedrat Boise was actually reformulated recently (with the magnetic cap bottles), not only it doesn't perform the same, it doesn't smell the same either, I guess the only way for you to confirm or deny that would be to try one of the new badges.
If you ask the brand Luis they say it was never reformulated. Doesn’t mean they don’t smell different but that’s the brands stance on it.
I personally love the OG alot more than the intense. Don't get me wrong intense is still good but the OG was smoother and easier to wear.
Understandable I love it but I do still need to try the intense.
I suggest you buy Armaf Hunter intense
Still one I haven't tried.
Bro what kind mic are you using
So the mic is a Samson Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic mic. Lot's of value for this one. I run it through a rodecaster pro.
I bought one but I believe I've got the fake one. The projection is super strong, but after 5-10min you won't find a trace of the scent. I literally spray everywhere and a lot to see if it's me or the fragrance. Same with Sicilly.
The wave musk I bought it from different discounter, it stays little longer.
I have regular designer fragrances that are EDPs and last a lot longer.
I don't. I'm kind of confused and skeptical.
Interesting and definitely not normal. Where did you grab the poor performing ones from?
@@gerardgeorge Aura Fragrance
I LOVE Cedrat Boise. I have a newer batch and it lasts and projects. I have the magnetic cap
Love it Marcus thanks for sharing!
Same. I consider the magnetic cap version beast mode. I cannot imagine the version people say was even stronger lol.
Some lemon,most Sweet currant, leather finish, it's OK scent.
Still one of my favorites
I like the original much more than the intense version. The intense version doesn’t last any longer or perform better than the original. The main difference between them is the inclusion of an oud note in the intense version… and that oud note doesn’t seem to fit.. it smells odd and out of place with the other notes.
Yea I can see oud throwing the whole thing off and I like oud.
Cedrat Boise.. I have a twist open cap.. like yours. And my gf wear it.. she said more male ask for her number 😂
😂😂😂. My wife wears it as well
@@gerardgeorge perfume goes well in her line of work .
I got samples of about 6 fragrances when I heard about Mancera. I love the quality of the Mancera house, but Cedrat Boise and Gold Incense were not for me.
Amber Fever, Instant Crush and Tonka Cola are all awesome.
I STILL need to to try instant crush. I also need to try aoud lemon mint.
U should get some tester strips so u dont have to spray it in the air and waste it.
Good idea!
I have both and I don't think it's unreasonable to have both. The intense is really just as the name says. The longevity is what sets them apart the most.
The original is very good and has more of the fruity smell. The intense is focused more on the vanilla and is a lot more smoother than the original. Talk about beast mode, neither one is beast mode if you're scared to spray it. They are both non-offensive so I say spray away. Once you do that... Beast Mode achieved.
Great explanation Glenn. I know many will appreciate this!
😂😂😂😂😂 unlocking beast mode...and when the evening sets in the second wave of beast mode kicks in 😂😂😂😂
I tried the sample today. While I really liked the fragrance, especially opening which I found to be very smooth, it quickly disappeared from my skin. I sprayed some more after half an hour and even that was gone in another hour. It hardly projected. Where I live is really warm so it seems like it doesn't go well with warmer climates. Even though I was in an AC room, it seems if I have to get decent performance out of this, I will need 8010 sprays. In that way I am disappointed.
Oh damn you sure there isn’t some nose blindness going on? I agree projection could be a lot better but longevity was a long time on me. Well above average.
Exact same for me, can barely smell it after 20 minutes with my new 22 batch; what batch do you have?
i thought i caught a weak batch, (performance lasted abt 2 hours initially), but seems like my 2021 bottle gets better with time... i get a solid 5-6 hours, now. the maceration is real.
Sure is!
How long did it take for you? I bought a new 22 batch last week and I can barely smell it after 20 minutes with very weak projection, despite overspraying; Wondering if I got noseblind to the smell
To me, the Intense version isnt really good for summer. Cedrat Boise is an all year fragrance but shines best in the heat. To me the intense is just too strong. Its why I went with the OG.
This makes a lot of sense to me Jim. I think the OG is perfect for summer.
What batch do you have?

Screw cap
Never smelled the original but the one I recently tried had such a terrible opening I couldn't understand why so many people like. Seriously made me wonder if I got a bad bottle. Opening reeks strongly if synthetic lemon furniture polish which doesn't surprise me since tonca cola has a really strong synthetic orange furniture polish vibe. I guess their citruses are all like that maybe. And it does dry down into ashtray vibe that gets worse as the dry down continues. It's a no for me. My bottle is still full and I'm selling it.
Maybe you tried the intense? I haven't tried it yet.
@@gerardgeorge no. I don't have intense, just the regular cedrat Boise. Not a fan, especially of the ash tray smell that gets worse as it dries down.
would you recommend getting this or nishane ani x for spring summer?
Definitely this for summer. Ani for winter.
I just got mines for $65 bucks
Steal!
6k on the way!
Getting close!
The intense doesn't smell that different. The og is basically top heavy and the intense is base heavy.
Thanks for letting me know!
I have cedrat Boise intense. It doesn't last even 4 hours but then i smell it days after on my shirt. Im getting nose blind definitely. Cedrat Boise intense is more close to Nishane hacivat. I have both. They don't smell anything like Aventus. I have decan of Aventus and full bottle of CDNIM LIMITED EDITION. I couldn't tell difference between CDNIM LIMITED EDITION or Aventus and thats why i refuse to pay $200 for Aventus.
Totally understand. Some of these clones are just too good. If it works for you that’s awesome.
Cedrat has been significantly reformulated comparing to 2017 and even 2019. Don't buy it, it doesn't have all that parts for why we love original Cedrat. The new one is week, smells differently and projection is small. It's cheap smelling but for price as original. Mancera as all other re-formulators want to cheat on you.
I don't get that from mine but I don't know what year mine is from. Bought it like 2 years ago. Nothing cheap smelling about it and it lasts. Just like by decant from 2019 or so. No difference.
Thanks for letting us know. I think im going to buy a bottle in the near future.@gerardgeorge
Not true at all, mine is a year old and very strong.
You're being paranoid, fragrances don't get reformulated as often as fragcomm wants you to believe. This fragrance is still good
...Just bought a week ago,honestly am 100% sure is reformulated,not like the ones I had before.
Why do I envision you walking down South Boston with the "bros" yelling out to you, "Eh, "G," you rockin' the BWAH-ZAY today?" 🤔😆🤣
(GOOD review, BTW! 👍👏✌🙂)
Did you see me Mike!!!? 😂😂
@@gerardgeorge No, I was in the BRONX wondering why Aaron Boone was ejected from the game. 😕🙄
"No-mar!" 😆🤣😂✌

@@mikekisonu6825 I’m in
Everytime i wear it smells like i walked into a hobby lobby lol
Now I gotta visit a hobby lobby lol.
i haven't watched yet but i swear to god you better not say its weaker now than it used to be
Thank god we agree lol much love
Hahaha nope!
I tried this recently and was not impressed at all as it was just a strong lemon scent , nothing special compared to other citrus fragrances. Get Mancera aoud lemon mint instead which is much more exotic smelling and much richer.
This is one I've wanted to try for awhile Nazem.
4:12 performance
Thanks brotha!
Just found that tobacco &tonka banana republic!!! Shit is 🔥☄️🧯
Yessss!!! So good
Not really a fan of it .. smells to me a lot like those lemon surface cleaners lol
I hate aventus too so maybe just have diff smell taste but respect everyone’s as to why they like it
I think I’m more of a sweet frag or manly oud and nothing in btwn kinda guy
I totally understand. For me the lemon is buttery smooth but to your point, I don’t get a lot of sweetness. Very little.
My grandma and her ashtray
Ouch Nick! haha
@@gerardgeorge LOL... sorry bro, don't get this one but I dig your videos though‼️🤣🤌
OG easily better than intense. I’ve gotten “smells like old man” comments abt intense. Loses the magic
Sounds like a good example of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
