Mancera Intense Instant Crush Extrait de Parfum 120ml

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.. If you found the original too sweet or too metallic, this is the version that fixes it. If the sparkle was the whole appeal, sample before you commit. As an extrait, it also sits closer to the skin than the EDP while lasting considerably longer.. What It Smells Like. Leather first, sweetness second. Indian saffron and black leather open together and set the tone immediately, with Sicilian mandarin and bergamot flickering over the top for the first few minutes before burning off. What's left is a genuine leather fragrance rather than a gourmand with leather in it.. Moroccan rose and amberwood build the heart, and the salted caramel arrives underneath as a smooth, slightly savoury sweetness rather than a dessert note. Mysore sandalwood, Madagascar vanilla, oakmoss and white musk carry the long dry-down, where the oakmoss keeps the vanilla from turning soft.. 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. You wear the original Instant Crush and want it darker and less sugary. You're after something for evenings and occasions rather than every day. You'd rather a fragrance sat close and long-lasting than shouted across a room. How To Wear It. This is an Extrait de Parfum, so the oil concentration is higher and the alcohol lower than an EDP. It projects less in the first hour but outlasts almost anything in the range.
