Cedrat Boise

Cedrat Boise by Mancera is a bold, citrus-woody fragrance that opens with a vibrant burst of lemon, bergamot, and black currant, creating a fresh, fruity start that some compare to Aventus. The scent transitions into a more masculine, leather-and-wood-heavy drydown, with cedar, moss, and vanilla adding warmth and depth. This shift from bright fruit to rich woodiness gives the fragrance a dynamic profile, and it’s often praised for its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, though some note it fades quickly on certain skin types. It’s perceived as strongly masculine by most reviewers, though technically unisex. Performance varies: while some report 8–12 hours of strong projection, others find it fades within 2–3 hours, especially in newer batches. The fragrance is praised for being a high-value alternative to Creed Aventus, offering better performance and price, though not all agree on its similarities to Aventus, with many calling it an independent masterpiece. It excels in spring, summer, and mild autumn, ideally worn during the day or in cooler evenings. Some report an initial synthetic or overly sweet note that lingers, and a batch variation concern has emerged, with newer versions reportedly less powerful than older ones. The bottle is elegant, with a magnetic cap and soft packaging, adding to the premium experience.
