I took my time with this one. I wanted to pen my review after testing it out in different scenarios. Is it the best from Mancera? The short answer is no, I would still go for Cedrat as that one is a compliment magnet. However, saying that, if you want to try something different, this is surely worth shelling $280 for. It's sweet and gentle to start with as the amber in it acts dominant in the opening notes but when it settles it has that nice sombre stench that is not overpowering or in your face but would defiantly get you the compliments.
