Today's SOTD was supposed to be a side-by-side comparison of Mancera Cedrat Boise and Cedrat Boise Intense. Unfortunately, my nose has decided not to cooperate. A few months ago, I picked up a sample of the original Cedrat Boise and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's a fragrance that gets plenty of attention, and I was curious to see whether it might eventually deserve a place in my collection. But as I continued reading reviews, I noticed how many people seemed to prefer the Intense version. Some described it as richer, deeper, and more sophisticated than the original, which naturally caught my attention. So I ordered a sample of Intense, intending to put the two fragrances through a proper side-by-side comparison. Today was supposed to be the day. Unfortunately, I've come down with a cold, and my sense of smell has apparently decided to take a vacation. I tried testing the fragrances, but I can barely smell anything. Not exactly ideal conditions for evaluating two fragrances. And considering how much more selective I've become about buying new bottles, the last thing I want to do is make a judgment based on a nose that isn't functioning properly. So the Mancera showdown will have to wait until I'm feeling better. The good news is that both samples will still be there when my sense of smell returns. And perhaps a few days away from testing fragrances won't be the worst thing in the world. Although I have to admit, it's a little frustrating to have two interesting fragrances ready for comparison and absolutely no ability to appreciate either one.
