I have a 5mL decant from a reputable seller, and all the others I've bought from them have been spot on so I don't think it's that. The presentation is standard, but the scent's versatility stands out, making it suitable for various occasions. Even if others around me never liked this I would still wear it but that is never the case as I've gotten massive compliments from both sexes ranging from "and where are you coming from smelling all sexy" after a hug to "wow you smell so good. It is a perfume with a spicier opening, in which you can feel lemon, but after drying it becomes much more pleasant! This perfume extract opens with a sharp, zesty burst of blackcurrant and citrus, Cedrat Boise quickly lays down a sexy heart of jasmine and patchouli beneath the lingering fruity freshness, remaining lively for hours before slowly melting into a sumptuous base of cedar, sandalwood, leather, and musky oakmoss.

The leathery smell,however, could throw some people off as it has that "old man" scent so I would test it first. As time goes on into the wear, these two dimensions begin to intermix well and you begin to see the fragrance as one unified thing: a “heavy freshie” if you will. I see that Intense Cedrat Boise is just like the Parfum variants of Versace Eros, Yves Saint Laurent Y, Dior Sauvage, and Bleu de Chanel.

Mancera Cedrat Boise, a cold-weather marvel, impresses with an unparalleled scent and enduring performance. I picked intense Cedrat Boise a few months ago and I enjoyed it since my bottle of the OG was just about gone. However, if you prefer a more elegant and versatile option, Cedrat Boise might be the better choice due to its softer dry-down with sandalwood and oakmoss. As it dries down, the woods and leather seem to make an appearance but eventually on my skin all I could smell was heavy incense with a hint of fruit.

EDIT: OK, I wore it today, 6-7 sprays is pretty heavy and I'm on my 13th hour, rubbing my neck still can smell it on my hand, well 4-5 sprays should be just fine from now on. The difference that I can detect, is that the drydown stage has a more similar vibe to the pre-reformulation original CB. All I can say is if you think your bottle is not performing, let is sit for a while and I think you will be surprised. All in all, I am honestly impressed and I am surprised by the bad reception this has gotten, it's not mind-blowing but it is an honest to God "intense" (better quality) version of the original.They’re embraced by the citrus up top, which makes for a scent that is fresh, yet burly and masculine.

This is something that everyone should have and an easy grab for days you can't decide and need something to put on. Someone I know was shocked that I sprayed that much as they are 2 sprays max and wouldn’t reapply for the rest of the day.Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. I don't understand why Youtuve reviewers pump it (though it must be because they are paid to do so).
