SOTD: Mancera Cinque Terre

Picked this one up recently as a blind buy because I saw some reviews which said it was like French Rivieria but greener and less sunscreen vibes.

I can see the comparisons slightly. This is much more up my alley than French Riviera. It starts of with lemon and rosemary giving it a nice lemon tree vibe. Not a candied lemon like Lemon Line a more natural and fresh take. The mid is all about salt and woods. Imagine sitting on the Italian Coast in an old beat up wooden chair that’s been battered by the sea for decades.

The base notes I can detect are definitely Tonka, Oakmoss and Sandalwood giving the fragrance a nice sweet green undertone. I definitely prefer this to French Riviera as there’s no sunscreen smell to it.

Typical Mancera performance with over 7 hours of total wear time. I had about 3-4 feet of projection for the first 2 hours then about 2 feet for the next 3. It became a smaller bubble after that but I could still smell it on myself. No one around to give me feedback today so I’ll just say it’s a blind buy win.

I still blame

@Thomas Chavez

for putting down the Mancera rabbit hole lol. So far it’s worked out.
