The Mancera perfume to try first is Cedrat Boise, a woody citrus built on Sicilian Lemon, Bergamot and Cedar that community voters pick for spring and fall. If you want spice, Red Tobacco is the tobacco-led choice for winter nights, and Coco Vanille brings coconut and vanilla to summer days. Every perfume here is filled from the original bottle into a 3ml or 10ml decant.
How to choose between these Mancera perfumes
This guide covers ten of the Mancera perfumes 10ML stocks. They were launched between 2011 and 2023, and they do not smell alike: some open on citrus, some lead with warm spice, and three are sweet scents built on vanilla, coffee or coconut. The Mancera page lists every bottle. This guide helps you pick the one to wear first. If you are choosing without smelling anything, how to choose perfume without smelling it explains what to read on a notes list.
One way to choose is by mood and season:
- Citrus first, with wood or herbs: Cedrat Boise and Cosmic Pepper, both voted for spring and fall.
- Warm spice: Red Tobacco, with tobacco, and Instant Crush, with saffron and rose, both voted for night and for the colder months.
- Sweet: Tonka Cola, Amore Caffe and Coco Vanille.
- Marine and citrus: French Riviera, voted for summer days.
- Fruity florals: Sicily and Jardin Exclusif, both voted for summer days.
