Collection: Mancera

Why Mancera suits a first discovery set

Mancera has a reputation for strength and longevity, which makes it the ideal house for a first set of 2 ml decants: each vial lasts far longer than you expect. A good starter kit is Red Tobacco for its saffron, cinnamon and smoky tobacco, Cedrat Boise for a clean, citrus and woods daytime option, and Instant Crush for a vanilla gourmand with spice. Decant Sample lists 14 Mancera references, nearly all unisex.

Vanilla, sea air and more

If vanilla is your thing, this Mancera sample range is unusually generous: Coco Vanille is tropical and sweet, and three further vanillas run from rose cream to dark and smoky. For summer, French Riviera is citrus and sea air, and a minty oud keeps things fresh. An incense heavy option covers the darker end, and Red Tobacco Intense is a denser take on the bestseller worth comparing with the original.

Sizes that fit a powerful house

Because projection is high, 2 ml is a full test and 5 ml covers a month at one or two sprays a day. Reserve 10 or 20 ml for the Mancera perfume you wear on repeat. Every Mancera decant is hand-filled from the original bottle in France, with standard shipping to any European address at €4.95 and free from €59.

Mancera decants: frequently asked questions

Red Tobacco or Red Tobacco Intense?

Red Tobacco is already strong, with saffron, cinnamon and tobacco that last all day. Red Tobacco Intense pushes the darker, smokier side further and suits very cold weather. Most customers find the original enough; try 2 ml of both and decide with your own nose.

Which Mancera decant is safe for a warm office?

Cedrat Boise. It is citrus, blackcurrant and clean woods with excellent longevity but a more polite trail than the gourmands. French Riviera is the other daytime option, lighter and more marine. Both work well at 5 ml as a dedicated desk scent.

How many wears will I get from a 2 ml Mancera sample?

At one or two sprays per wear, which is all Mancera needs, a 2 ml vial covers roughly ten to fifteen wearings. That is more than enough to test a scent through a fortnight of real life before choosing a larger decant or a bottle.
