Citrus from Sicily on record, the rest on your skin
This is Mancera Cedrat Boisé, a perfume by Mancera, offered here as a sample. Its pyramid, as recorded, runs from Citrus from Sicily, Blackcurrant and Cold Spices down to Woody Notes, Leather, Oakmoss and Sensual Vanilla. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Citrus from Sicily, Blackcurrant and Cold Spices: that is the listed start of Cedrat Boisé. Give it a moment on skin before you form an opinion. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
Cedrat Boisé continues with Aquatic Jasmine and Leaves of Patchouli in the heart. Notice whether this stage feels like a change or like a smooth continuation on you. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
For the drydown, the listing names Woody Notes, Leather, Oakmoss and Sensual Vanilla. This last stage is the reason a single short test is not enough. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Testing it
We have no tags that say when Mancera Cedrat Boisé fits best, which leaves the choice to you. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Who Cedrat Boisé is aimed at is not on record with us. If Mancera is new to you, a small vial is a calm way to get acquainted. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
You learn more from three wearings of Mancera Cedrat Boisé than from thirty opinions about it. We decant from the original bottle and label the vial ourselves. Mancera does not make or endorse these samples; it is not an official brand sample. 120 ml is the size of the full bottle; the sample is the small step before it.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Cedrat Boisé from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
On record the top notes are Citrus from Sicily, Blackcurrant and Cold Spices. How clearly you notice them, and for how long, differs per skin, so check in the first minutes after spraying.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
We list 88 perfumes by Mancera as samples. You choose 2, 5 or 10 ml; we fill the glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it ourselves. In our shop Mancera sits with the niche perfume samples. A few small vials tell you more about a house than one large bottle chosen on a guess.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
