SOTEvening: Mancera Amberful
The first of five Mancera decants sent over to me by the one and only @Thomas Chavez. This has been on my radar for sometime but haven’t gotten around to trying it until now. I don’t know why I waited so long because it’s great. This will be my initial impressions since I’ve had it on for a couple hours. I’ll update longevity and projection later. Right in first spray I could tell it’s a beast projector and man was it spicy to start. I got a big hit of the pink pepper mixed with the bergamot and yuzu. It’s not a spicy in the traditional sense since to me it comes off a lot more fresh. That spiciness lasted a good 30ish minutes. After that open the spiciness tones down a bit and gets slightly powdery sweet from the amber wood and violet. I was expecting a lot more of an amber scent to it because of the name. The name deceived me lol they should’ve named it Hint of Amber. So far I’m not picking up the cedar or oak moss but I’m sure it’ll peak through soon. I’ll keep you updated.
