Just love the opening and mid notes. It’s crazy how I get subtle woody and leathery notes from it apart from the dominating lemony and fruity notes. Smells really really nice to me at least.
It is a very good fragrance and smells expensive. The price is also very good!
@@ChadSecrets definitely! 💯
The only area it lacks a bit in is its performance.
Also, it’s great how you are active and engage with the comments. I hope you keep growing 💯 All the best!
most underrated fragrance youtuber, straight into the point and honest reviews, keep up the grind
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you 🙏
After seeing white Musk, I'm wondering how the black musk will look like💀
Yeah i wonder haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My bottle of club de unit intense found the floor so used the opportunity to get myself an upgrade to citrate Boise hahaha great review!
That's quite a great upgrade to be fair! I hope your floor smells good at least 😅
Thank you for watching!!
Hey man I just have to say this is one of the most well done reviews I have ever watched for a single fragrance. The editing, points brought up, and thoroughness were next level. I’ve watched hundreds at this point and would put this one in the top 3. You sir, have just earned yourself a subscriber
That means a lot to me thanm you so much! I put a lot of efforts into my reviews, and i am glad you appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for subscribing
Great review. Definitely agree, nothing like Aventus. I have both, & I’d personally reach for Creed before this. For me, I get a 🍋 dominant scent. I picture me snacking on a piece of lemon cake, or pastry.
Over time, mine has changed to less lemon smell. It gets richer smelling
The first time I smelled this, it gave me headaches, I really though I wasted my money. But then I tried it again a week later and I was surprised of how good it is. On my skin at least the smoky aspect is very prominent. Thanks Chad.
I was not blown away with this one at first. This new batch didn't smell good until a month later to me but now i really like it! Thank you for watching!
Exact same for me, that smoky muskiness keeps me sniffing and sniffing myself!
The smoky aspect is what keeps me wearing it…if this wasn’t smoky it would be too feminine for me personally.
Not gonna lie i hated it the first time i tried it. Was about to give it away until a friend said let it sit for a few weeks and retry it. Well only twi weeks later i used it again and man that stuff is awesome.
This is worth the price.Every penny
Is that true I bought one and it has a really harsh opening like rubbing alcohol. I'm not sure I got a fake but it's like that.
Just got mine yesterday and I wasn’t crazy about it either in the beginning . A few hrs later I smelled it on my skin and I changed my mind.
I was really disappointed when I first tried my new bottle of cedrat Boise. Anyhow, I stored it with my other citrus perfumes as I brought out the Winter fragrances. As Spring is approaching I recently wore CB as my scent of the day. Well, what a difference in performance! Defo a keeper now it has decent longevity. Defo let your bottle macerate.
100% this. It's crazy how mine even shifted in scent profile after i came back to it after a while
the smokiness in the later drydown made this fragrance for me. i love it, its so comforting.
I know what you mean by comforting. It's one of my go-to's
I used to think the whole maturation argument was totally bogus. Having owned a bottle of Cedrat Boise for a year I’m blown away with how much this has changed. It is so rich now that I can’t wear it is in heat. It’s a completely different fragrance. Absolutely fantastic and one for life for me.
Yes, it is absolutely changing over time. My juice color even got a lot darker
Received mine yesterday an I tell you this scent is awesome, definitely getting a back up bottle
I love this stuff. I'm tearing through the bottle
What can you say about the performance? Do you think it's kinda weak?
@vanhelsing1143 imo definitely not weak. It only got stronger over time. I will let others weigh in though 😁
@@ChadSecrets what batch do you have? I think the newer batches are the only one availble here in the philippines
@@vanhelsing1143 he shows the batch code in the video. I just got my bottle 3 days ago and it's the same batch.
Your production quality is superb
Thank you! I try my best 😁
I've been binge watching your videos and I can say they're made so great, it's very formal yet still fun engaging. The editting is nice, a short shots of the ingredients to the actual thing is so good. The pronunciation is on point! Keep working hard, you earned a sub I'll be watching more of your video! And I'm planning to get my first niche as a student, gonna earn for it this is on my radar as well as with Mancera Instant Crush. Thanks for the review!
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you for watching my content 🙏
I just got it today and i love the opening, its sooo good but being the first fragrance that i have with leather it might take me some time to get used to as it seems a little to strong.
That's understandable. I feel like the leather in this is well balanced, so you will get used to it quickly. Im not the biggest leather fan myself, but i did not get bothered by it here 😁
Been wanting to pull the trigger on this for a while. I live in Florida so I think this, over the intense would fit well.
Thats a very good choice. I have worn this in Miami and it was great
Just got my first Niche Cedrat Boise and Oh it really smell amazing 🤩 so so good, no idea performance yet, need to test 😎
Let me know what you get! I realise it gets stronger over time. I love it
I am not the biggest fan of this fragrance but there is indeed quality to it. Enjoyed the video though.
I know you ain't a fan of the aventus style, but absolutely good price for the quality here. Thanks for watching my man!
If you’re looking to try another Mancera I would highly recommend Aoud Lemon Mint. It is a SUPERIOR fragrance!
I really look forward to finally trying this one out. Looks like something I would really like !
Also give Sicily and Amber fever a try! Amber fever to me is manceras BEST gourmand. This stuff is so smooth and boozy and creamy!
I’ve owned this for 2 years. Bought it because of what I’ve heard on line. Didn’t really dig it. Wasn’t really that strong or memorable. I tried it last week for the hell of it. I really like this scent. It’s pretty good. Haven’t stopped wearing it. It gets compliments. Maybe it macerated. I don’t know lol
It's actually weird because i wasn't impressed at first with my bottle, but as it sat around and got stronger, it also got better
@@ChadSecrets same here 💯
Got the same batch. Fruity opening with slight smooth citrus. Drydown is mostly woods and vanilla. $80 on Jomashop
That's a pretty great price! You liking it?
Love it.
Please keep the videos coming 🔥🔥
Thank you! I definetly will be 😁
When it comes to performance I think it has a lot to do with the better atomiser. With the crappy old bottles you got coughed on a small area, and when you smell there of course it's stronger because there's a ton of oil on a single spot. And it lasts because it cannot evaporate.
With the pressurized atomiser you get a very even spread on a larger area with the same amount of oil. While it may seem that on the skin it's weaker, it can project in the air this way much better. You know, where it's supposed to be .
Thats a very good observation. You might be right about that
Yes wearing it today actually
I will be wearing it today as well!
Love the videos, would like the background music to be a bit lower.
Understood. It was a bit loud on this one. I'll figure out why for future. Thanks!
After trying the Cedrat Boise and Aventus back to back, I can say that Cedrat Boise is no clone of the Aventus because it is more imposing than the Aventus. The one I received was also a magnetic cap.
I definitely prefer this to Aventus
What year?
Great video man!
Thank you for watching 😁
Hey Chad, keep up the good work man, i never comment on anything for any reason but your channel is really good, straight to the point, nice humour, well edited and honest. Have you ever tried dior homme sport 2021?, i have several niche and designer fragrances and for me that one is a 10/10 and one of my most complimented fragrances by women, a review on that one might be good. keep it up brother, love to see the channel grow💪🏻
Hey, thank you for your support. That means a lot to me! I try my best to improve where i can!
I have tried that fragrance and really like it. I plan to get a bottle soon for that warmer weather. I will make a review of it soon!
I really adore this stuff
Me too, I will be wearing it again today!
My gfs favorite on me. Its one of the few she wont let me get rid of (i love it too though so i dont mind)
I also prefer the screw cap
hey so im looking into trying it, and might buy a sample. or would you say its a safe blind buy and just buy a bottle (theres a few online that arent too expensive)
Id say its a pretty safe blind buy since its mass appealing. Its strong though for a freshie so start light. Id suggest looking for a screw cap option first
Ordered mine yesterday, awesome review!
I appreciate you watching. I hope you like it!
What would you say your favorite Mancera frag overall is?
I really need ti think about that. Its possibly this one!
I've watched all the reviewers with similar taste as mine on this but never really ( I NEED THIS) fragrance... That being said ,last night I got a discount code for $65. I picked one up from JS for a dumb reach as I didn't need a beast mode and preferred fresh over intence for my preference.. And the price was good !!!
That price is VERY good. For that kind of quality i would say a steal
Im in love with it by what i have red and seen i hope to like it when i buy it
If you ever do get it, let me know what you think!
i will
@@ChadSecrets
sweet black currant , undertoned lemon and cedar present but thats it high class granpa smell in a way, its good but not great aventus way better. also nothing like aventus at all at all
To each their own. I would take this over a modern aventus batch anyday
There's a nasty note to it that turns me off. And I still couldn't understand what people find in common between Cedrat and Aventus, completely different scents
Definitely, they are different. It's in the style of aventus but you are right. And not all scents are for everyone. I understand if you don't like it 😁
I agree, I get it too. In my case I feel it dries my throat, I swear to God. Although I l'm spraying this, it feels like I'm drinking it, can't reality explain it. Every single time I, spray this I get something quite synthetic that I find annoying, but I ignore it for the first 30 min and then I get to enjoy it.
I really like this scent, sadly there is some note that choke me the first minutes. So I rubbed after spray on my arms.
I just bought it the day before yesterday and there is something that makes me feel sick toy stomach in it and whatever the note is that smells off, it's also in 724 by MFK
Got a sample of Cedrat and It smells like Club De Nuit to me, I agree tho, there’s something about it that turns me off initially
After the first half hour to 45 minutes it does smell creed aventus , but, softter and with a little twist. Take quite a while to go through the dry down projections. But worth its price for sure.
Yeah, i personally dont get that but it's all subjective 🤷♂️
@@ChadSecrets I just sprayed it on my forearm almost 2 hours ago and at least to me it starts out a softer aventus. It's starting to shift through it's dry downs now so I'll wait and see what it morphs into. But definitely a high quality frag for sure.
@@ChadSecrets I'm in the tropics, about 90 now, so maybe it's progressing differently in the warm weather, But I purchased it regardless 😀
@@cowboys68 i will have to try it in the high heat to see for myself! I like this one a lot regardless 😁
Its like 36°C here with tropical humidity, is there any chance that i can rock this baby during the day😢,
also do le male le parfum😊
Im working on that review for sure 👌
And i dont personally think it would be best for that weather outside it could be a bit much.
Something like versace man eau fraiche would be great!
Fantastic video, but I don't believe that "maceration" is a real phenomenon with fragrances. The 2022 magnetic-cap batch that I have definitely performs worse. It's pretty bad, actually. That being said, I actually think it's a better-blended fragrance. So there are some pros and some cons with this one, IMO.
Well, that's fine. You dont have to believe in it, but i have experienced this many times with my fragrances. Including with this one 🤷♂️
My batch personally is anything but bad and has actually gotten stronger and darker in color since this review. That being said, it could be a quality control issue with this one.
Thanks for watching!
@ChadSecrets The fragrance itself is really nice, and again, it seems to be better-blended than the older batches. It's just the performance that I'd describe as below-average and certainly worse than in previous batches. But, I'm always open to having my mind changed, and I don't plan on selling the bottle. We'll see if it gets better with age.
Maybe the Intense version replaced it? I have a 2022 magnetic cap version and is weak as hell. I thought I have a fake but it's real. The color is light apricot with hint of green...i'm very curious if it turns darker. I let it sit now. The old formula was strong, multiple comments from strangers in the past. But here is the thing. My very first cedrat boise bottle i bought in 2015 and at first i couldn't smell it either...later on it was different in performance . This happens with fragrances..like my dior eau sauvage parfum is a beast now, same with Aventus Cologne , very loud believe it or not and many others.
Nice videooo,can you make a video on azzaro the most wanted edp ?
I can definetly do it! Thanks for the suggestion
Waiting for that one and also oud lemon mint
I'm excited to get that one! Heard some great things
same here lol, been hesitant as well to buy Instant Crush, just because of what people say . do you have Instant Crush? and if you do would you say the reformulation rumors are true?
Nah dont belive that reformulation rumor. Its just new bottle style and they are producing the fragrances quicker so they need a little time to "macerate"
Its a bit feminine leaning if you are okay with that
Nice video. Earned a sub
Thank you for subscribing 🙏
Yes I just got this 3 days ago. ❤after 2 samples given
It is a very good fragrance!
How was it?
@@vanhelsing1143 TBH and Fair. I believe that the reform is not the same potency as original
i find this one very similar to Terre D'Hermes edt! im only choosing one of them so im at crossroads now. TDH seem to have weak longevity on my skin tho
I see what you are saying. I have both but fo not think they are redundant to each other. Both are amazing
I got my mancera yesterday, december 21 batch
I tested some testers from 23
It lasts like 5,6 hours on my hand, and even 12h later I can smell it
When i spray it on my shirt, i feel it projecting for 4 hours
Its a very good fragrance i like it a lot
If a fragrance tends to induce anosmia does that negatively impact how you score the fragrance? I wear fragrances because I enjoy smelling good - but with Boise I stop smelling it not long after application.
I dont let it affect the score because i usually expect it from stronger scents. Ill just test other ways
I got two crew cap bottles of the Red Tobacco, but I don't know if they are early or late versions of the screw caps, as I assume there are different batches made before they changed to the magnetic cap. I have heard rumours the 2019 bottles had gotten toned down a little, and the magnetic caps came sometimes in 2020. Sometimes a reformulation can be good and sometimes bad and even really bad, making them unrecognisable -- in which they should NOT call it by the same name !
Completely agree. My red tobacco still very potent. I may do a video comparing them in future just to make sure. Sometimes fragrances are left unrecognizable by reformulation left smelling like a cheap rack store clone of the original. It's unfortunate
I brought Red tobacco 3-4months ago and received one with screw cap. It was not that strong for first few days. I left in the shelf few weeks and got it macerated. Oh man…it is nuclear now 🔥
@@firozjebbar3516 interesting ! Maybe Mancera sometimes still uses the screw cap when filling up new bottled juices ? Also great advice about the macerating, as I have heard about this process before.
Hey I’m a smoker what should I buy for summer that my cigarettes scent doesn’t destroy it
It depends what you mean because the cigarette smell will linger through any fragrance
Hey, how long ago did you buy it?
And did you buy from FragranceBuy as you said, or from PerfumeOnline as in the screenshot picture you've shown?
I'm asking because I just bought one from PerfumeOnline and the last review mentions screwcap top, so I was hoping for that.
Thanks in advance
I bought from fragrancebuy. I think the perfumeonline screenshot was beacause it was sold out. Chances of getting screw top are very low
@@ChadSecrets yeah I figured but considering that someone left a review in 2023 mentioning they got an older version, I'll keep hoping for now haha. Cheers man
If the woody smell was less, it smells like 80% Aventus
I think personally they are quite different but to each their own! Way better price value than aventus for sure
I finally found good decant of Cedrat Boise after previously got low performance ones.
I like the freshness and uplifting scents.
I also bought decant of the CB Intense, but I think I got bad decant since it gave low performance. Or maybe got nose blind.
Which one do you prefer, CB or CB Intense?
I need ti spend more time with the CB intense. I havent compared them together yet but right now i prefer the original
Hey Chad, how do tou feel about this frag now, 9 months later?
@@VTun1ng i still really love it
@@ChadSecrets how long did it took it to fully macerate?
if i am to buy cedrat boise and wait a month or 2, does the projection and longevity improve with the scent profile?
Yes it does 👌
This gave me polo green vibes ngl wonderful opening but I did not enjoy the drydown very ashtray like I’m gonna let it macerate for a week or two and decide if I want to return it. (Costco 90 day return policy babyyyyy)
Costco has amazing return policy. Let me know if it grows on you as it did for me!
@@ChadSecrets hey chad ik its only been a day but my bottle of cedrat boise has already lost that prominent smokiness and I get a lot more vanilla out of it to me it smells like polo green’s spiciness mixed with jpg le male elixirs’s honey tobacco note I can’t really differentiate notes that much but the smell still definitely has that mature vibe to it but now has this playfulness of a young man. One spray on my left wrist in the morning at 9am i was able to smell the sweet woodiness throughout the day and its 6pm as of right now still going strong. I’m exited to see what its like after next week.
And that's the interesting thing about fragrances. Everyone will perceive them differently. That sounds like pretty good longevity to me!
Intense is better😄
Best as versatile? 🤔
Do you buy full bottles all the time or do you get samples? Shipping costs from US sites on samples just kills me. Trying to find a Canadian decanter for cedrat Boise has been tough.
Check Colognedecanted. He is a fellow content creator that decants out of canada. Myself i usually just buy the full bottles blindly, which i would not recommend
Great recommendation thanks! Any more tips you have are appreciated
Bro i am going to buy this but i am really not sure about the performance
Not every fragrance is a room clearer but i get good performance with this. It will comtinue to get stronger after you first spray
@@ChadSecretsthank you man. I appreciate this video
It’s pronounced Cedrat Boy Zee. I bought a full bottle last year. Loved it for a month until it started making me nauseous. It would be great if not for the heavy handed leather. The dry down becomes way too leathery.
It all comes down to the person wearing it, i guess. I found it very nice! I still have yet to find a scent that makes me nauseous, though
@@ChadSecrets it’s a problem that goes back to my childhood. I associate leather with being car sick in my dad’s car from the smell of the leather seats.
So Saydrah buozey
2 weeks of maceration would be enough for reformulated one or a month?
It doesn't really need to macerate at all. It will just continually get stronger and richer. 2 weeks should be enough, though!
@@ChadSecrets thanks chad.
Bro, can you make a review of Ra'ed Silver by Lattafa, I think it's a clone of something 🤔
I will be releasing a lot of clone reviews this upcoming year. Thanks for the suggestion. i can do that! 👍
@@ChadSecrets Thanks Bro, much appreciated 👍 keep video going 😎
How does this compare to the intense version
This one is fresher and more seasonally versatile. The intense is darker with heavier oud and leather. I haven't sat with it long enough to notice any other differences in terms of performance yet, though
hahahaha that white musk
Haha 😂
Mine is ungodly smoky
I cant wear it
Really? Does smoke usually pop on your skin or just with this?
@@ChadSecrets just with this. its only after a good 3 hours has gone by and it smells like i sat downwind of a smokey, slightly wet campfire.
I bought a tester of it.
Smells similar to Boucheron initially.
Really? Ill need to dive more into the Boucherons!
Which Boucheron would that be?, Pease enlighten us
Boucheron eau de toilette pour homme
so how long do u let the fragrance sit or maturate?
Mine got stronger after even a month. The notes almost shifted around. And it got stronger
not maturate..macerate..blending with a bit of air space in bottle created by using it..
I have the intense version of it and I have an question about it. There’s a bunch of sediment stuff in it and I know that may be normal with it being a parfum, but is it normal that it all settles down at the bottom of the fragrance?
I can not speak for the intense. But I know fragrances that have high concentrations that is possible at the bottom!
@@ChadSecrets yeah I think it may be normal, thank you for replying!!
I know its luxy problem but am i the only one ho be tierd on oarfum relly Quick 😅
Parfum
What you mean ha. You are tired of this concentration or tired of perfumes?
@@ChadSecrets no I mean when I get a knew parfum after 1 month I dont like that parfum anymore 😅
I dont mean you 😘
Sorry my english is not the best😊
How many days did you rest your cedrat boise
A couple months
I just bought my cedrat boise,2023 batch it's only been 2 days since I used it, projection and longevity is above average 4-5hours only do you think i want to sit it for a couple months to perform?
@ravengalang490 In my experience, the juice color will get darker, and performance will improve. Let it sit a bit, but just enjoy it and feel it improve over time!
Thankyou i will do🤘its very hot on our country i think its 47c🥵
Is it safe for blind buy?
Nothing is unfortunately
this one or cedrat boise intense?
This one for year-round versatility
@@ChadSecretswhat about the intense version?

How can a woman wear this?
Anyone can wear what they want. Nobody is stopping them 😁
Bro got jokes put Elon Musk for white Musk😂😂
Haha, i slipped it in there 😅
Do not buy!!! One of the biggest disappointments I have experienced. If I had to describe the contents of the bottle in one word, I would choose the word: nothing!! And this is nothing very expensive...
You buy a fake or something?

don’t buy new batches shit
I have a newer batch. And can say that newer batches are fine
How long did you macerate this when you said “let it sit for a bit”? Just curious.. 🤔🤌
I noticed it got stronger after a month or so. Could be less but thats how long i let mine sit
I have a collection of nearly 30 fragrances which include few other manceras and top tier designers. But i still reach for Cedrat Boise for the most.
This fragrance is such an easy reach. Matches pretty much every occasion. I'm in the same boat! 😁
