Decanted Sample of Aoud Lemon Mint by Mancera

Unique scent. Gave to my gf, I don’t mind the scent on her, but didn’t work on my body chemistry

I can be overly sensitive to loud fragrances especially if I have a headache. Well I got the sample in and decided that I wanted to smell it even with my headaches. This thing made me so nauseous. I’ll give it another try in a few weeks.

Enjoy this scent a lot. The oud is fairly subdued and the lemon mint and almost give this a fresh smooth smell. Probably going for a bottle of this. Feel this could be worn all year.

I think I have learned that Oud is not a fragrance for me.  This is You'd with a slight undertone of lemon and mint. Not for me.

The opening is not pleasent and it has a very strong mint smell which is off putting. The dry down is better, but loses it's freshness and is overall pretty bland. Not for me.

Opening is a warm fresh scent of lemon and mint. The almond is slightly noticeable, and black pepper helps the lemon be zingy.

About 2-3 hours later scent completely changes into its woody scent and the citrus/freshness completely disappears. At this point the scent isn't as strong as it was in the top notes, but I can still smell the oud, along with a musky vetiver. As the dry down continues, it projects less and the vanilla is left with a musky amber scent that isn't sweet.

The opening just about took my nose off. Very strong at the start. Dry down is much better. Grew on me now i like it a lot. Dont really get much mint though.

Definitely smells completely different to anything else that I tried but I just can't get behind it. Kindajsut reminds me of Vicks vapo rub. Maybe just need to keep trying it but I just think there are better summer options for sure.

The opening is wayyy too harsh and takes an hour to dry down in to a very mediocre scent. This gives me a headache and is unwearable for me. Smells like straight cleaning chemicals for too long.

Overall it’s a good scent. But the opening is so lemon pine sol that it’s just not worth it to me. If you can get past that first hour, you get a nice citrus, mint undergirded by creamy oud. A bit synthetic but it’s fine. Performance is great. Two showers to get it off completely.

This does not smell like a woody lemon drop on my skin. This smells like a pungent shitty lemony fabric softener that’s way too concentrated. Even in small doses, it smells too concentrated. The fabric softener quality is overwhelming and headache inducing. It’s sickening how strong it is. Definitely does not work on some skin chemistries.

Ok I'll first say when I wore it initially I almost hated it. The oud and almond note did not smell good at all to my nose. I like a lot of different profiles so I shelved the 10ml sample for a few weeks. Now after at least five additional wears this frag is probably going to be a bottle for me. I'm about half way through my 10ml and I consider it a very nice dumb reach type of frag. Can't say what has really changed with this frag but my nose has come to enjoy it. Not my favorite Mancera but a nice pick up for sure.

Wore it for an afternoon and it bothered me. It is an okay smell, but I can't stand it very long

Smells nice but be careful spraying it plenty of times because it’s strong.  Very good but not my favorite from Mancera.

Got this in the mail this morning and after 5 to 6 hours or so I had to buy a bottle. I get a light, sweet oud that has a sort of sour candy smell in the opening and smooth dark musky nuttiness in the drydown. Really interesting and definitely one that's a "try before you buy" fragrance.

Gave this as a gift to my brother. He is in love with the longevity and oud/citrus scent of this. The mint is light but the dry down on this is phenomenal. Great for the summer as it's not too sweet and super fresh. A little goes a long way.

THIS IS A GORGEOUS ALMALGAMATION OF SOME AMAAZING NOTES FOUND IN ANY EXPENSIVE FRAGRANCE. THE LEMON ENTERS WITH THE MINT JUST A STEP BEHIND. IT SEEMS TO ME THE MINT RUNDAVIEW WITH VANILLA FOR A CAMEO. THE OUD IS PRESENT BUT QUITE I CAN'T DETECT THE ALMOND. THIS PERFUMER WAS VERY COPIOUS WITH THE NOTES. THIS IS MY MUSE AS FAR AS FREGRANCES ARE CONCERN.

Please go lightly on this one unless you want to literally knock people out. Lasts all day and projects. For me it’s too sweet and heavy, and I don’t get a ton of citrus like most do. Maybe in the cooler months, but I’d never wear this in the summer

This fragrance is definitely out of the normal for me but it is really nice and strong! A little unsure about the oud for me but the almond gives it a nice creamyness. Last all day for sure.

The oud is present along with the fresh and bright lemon packing a punch that sits with you all day and into the night.  Mancera has a way taking something that sounds like it may not work and making it absolutely fantastic.  Great pickup on this one.

A new touch to the oud genre,very different but simple and safe..really balanced fragrance in my opinion.

Very sweet citrus, candy sweet, with some oud.  Too strong for really hot weather.  Careful on the trigger or they will smell you in the next county.

One of the more unique citrus fragrances I have ever smelled. It smells like a fountain drink bomb. I enjoy wearing it for its uniqueness.
