Decanted Sample of Cedrat Boise by Mancera

It's a nice fruity and woody scent. Lasts a decent amount of time. It's just not anything to write home about for me. Maybe that's because I really like Monteblanc Explorer, so that's what I prefer to get that dna. I do want to try the intense version next!

Too much cedar. Not to my personal liking. So glad I tried this in a decant rather than a full bottle!

Very strong opening then a nice fruity dry down long lasting. Not masculine to me

What I get from this is:
1) Smoke
2) Woodsy
3) Lemon
In that order. I view it mostly as a cooler weather scent/evening scent but could be worn most of the year. It lasts 8+ hours, with 3 hours of pretty strong projection. I was somewhat disappointed as I've heard it hyped up as truly groundbreaking but to me, it's just OK.

Luvin on the cedar mix with a more tropical lemonly aroma join later by a light vanilla all in all this is a very unique union of some of the best to inculcate in to a fragrance. Ican't detact any hint of aventus

The first time I smelled this I was blown away! I don’t think I’ve ever smelled a scent like this before. I nicknamed it the “dirty citrus ashtray”, but it’s in a good way. Has a smoky vibe with this beautiful citrus. Every time I wear it I just get so relaxed . 11/10

Sweet fruity woody opening with a hint of smokiness. Leather/vanilla/wood really come forward and take over the show in the drydown. It's not an Aventus clone. Bought a bottle on sale after running through this sample and have gotten several unsolicited compliments. Projection works really well for me. Longevity around 7-8h on my skin.

Its a decent fruity fragrance. There are better options

Seems to be alittle overhyped, I like the dry down more than the opening and reminds me of CDNIM/Aventus

I mostly get a mildy synthetic, fruity leather from this. I think it's unique enough to not be considered an Aventus clone, though it certainly could have drawn inspiration from it. Somewhat unisex vibe, and feels suitable for casual daytime occasions in spring and summer. Worth getting a full bottle if it's on sale.

Really good frag,it is more of a mellow aventus..little juicy and fruity ..great one for summer

Smelling it initially on paper, it is extremely sharp. On skin however, it is much more mellow. Maybe my nose isn't mature enough, but it is definitely very similar to aventus. I prefer aventus, and for the price you're paying for the mancera, I think you'd be better off with CDNIM.

Ok scent in the opening…. Dry downs a bit dusty.

cedrat boise - (5/10)
- just not very good
- immediate - not bad, smooth, fruity (lemony), kinda light, not spicy, not peppery, no bite to it.
- Might not be "manly" enough for me (40 m), maybe a young guys scent.
- wife says its not good.
- theres a slight woody scent which is good.(4/10)... but overpowered by the fruity scent (7/10)
- reminds me of ultra male

People compare this to Aventus, but I think this one has a character all its own. Its spicier and greener, and the woods you get from the dry down are absolutely fantastic. Just one spray from the decant made me want to go out and get a bottle.

They say Cedrat Boise is the gateway to buying niche fragrances because it's a great frag for less money.  I didn't like it.  I've smelled way more designer fragrances that are better than this and 1/4 the price.  Sorry but this one is a pass for me.

It came off as kind of synthetic to me.  It wasn't horrible, but it's not worth the purchase imo.
