MANCERA PARIS - Intense Instant Crush - Eau de Parfum Unisex

About this product

Why It's Escentual. The most useful thing to know about Intense Instant Crush is that it isn't a louder Instant Crush. It's a different fragrance wearing the same name. Black leather leads from the first spray, the bright sugary sparkle of the 2019 original is dialled well back, and the ginger has been swapped out for salted caramel..

Top Notes: Black Leather, Indian Saffron, Sicilian Mandarin, Bergamot. Heart Notes: Salted Caramel, Amberwood, Moroccan Rose, Indonesian Patchouli. Base Notes: Mysore Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla, White Musk, Oakmoss. You'll Love This If. You want a leather fragrance with a sweet edge, not a sweet one with leather in it.
