Ohh yhhh Mancera fragrances are literally my new vibe sitting here waiting patiently to hear your views on the Manceras!👍😉

I’m waiting for my Banana Republic Dark Cherry to arrive, I can’t wait! I love a good sweet oud, I think I will purchase the Mancera Precious Oud :) thanks for the review x

I enjoyed this haul very much bc I love manceras and montales. And you are very beautiful

Wild Python on my skin reminds me of Carnal Flower 🌸. Big compliment getter. Velvet Vanilla on my skin reminds me of Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy. I concur on Instant Crush, too masculine on my skin.

I picked up several of these as including the Alien Taste of Fragrance and the Nina Ricci! So good! Great haul!

Hi Yana, great video as always. You were lucky to get Cruel Gardenia and I cannot be happier to get Gucci Alchemist garden Tears of Iris. What a stunner. I also received a sample from Xerjoff Mamluk. This fragrance is so intoxicating, I fell in love with it at a first spray. However, I had to wait quite a while since it was out of stock. I finally got it last week. Xerjoff packaging is out of this world. If you like caramel and jasmine combo I would recommend for you to look it up. Good luck.

I'd love to try the MPO & Banana republic dark cherry & oud those two sound amazing.l have mancera wild candy though ,it's lovely also.this was an amazing haul. Beautiful fur babies 😍 TFS 🙏🏼

Omg i love your fur babies. They are adorable 🥰🥰

Sweet pick ups beautiful, enjoyed the show and tell. ❤️😘

My favorite so far from Mancera is Holidays and Montale Arabians Tonka(my fav, both are completely different from each other)

Omg, how much I appreciate you!

looks like u got another great haul , glad to hear you liked that montale thats a very hit & miss house with me

The Wild Python on my skin reminds me of Malle Carnal Flower. Big compliment getter. The Velvet Vanilla on my skin reminds me if Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy. I concur on Instant Crush, masculine on my skin.

omg I'm actually wearing Instant Crush right now as my SOTD! 😂I have a little decant and I've been enjoying it. It sounded intriguing to me on its own (I somehow didn't realize it was considered a dupe for BR540, which I haven't tried and I'm not really drawn to). Instant Crush didn't immediately strike me as masculine but I can see where that comes from. Personally I'm really liking the ginger, saffron, amber, sandalwood combination. I still enjoyed your review of it. Fair points! It's so funny how everyone's reactions and tastes are so different. If you want to sell that bottle I'll take it off your hands, haha. Great haul! Also PUPPIES!! ❤️

I have both Instant Crush and BR540. They are very similar on my skin. I wear them in FL in 70-80F weather so maybe temp makes a difference.

Yaaay! Always enjoy watching ur posts!! Luv the L'extace Rose absolu as well💕regular basis these days...I haven't touched any of MFK perfumes. Since lockdown I haven't been going anywhere special to wear them. Otherwise sad Instant Crush disagrees with you,body chemistry really plays in....I must be acidic. Instant Crush projects quite floral-sweet on me

I shopped that same mancera sale on fragrancebuy. I only picked up sicily and velvet vanilla. Almost picked up instant crush but I'm glad I didn't now. Sicily reminds me of a grown up niche version of tommy girl. Sicily is my favorite of the 2. Can't wait to wear it as well.

Instant Crush is the best! Buy little sample 2-5 ml. It’s the sexiness perfume ever. Starts tiny bit masculine, but in dry down is amazing

I was lucky enough to snag the taste of fragrance alien from fragrancebuy as well and I was sooo excited to find it. I actually never smelled alien EA nor the original Alien but I fell in love. Also got the Nina Ricci l'extase absoulte as well as a blind buy was very pleased with it. After trying both mancera and montale I agree that montale has a bit of an edge on montale by not being so synthetic.

Aoud black candy, wild candy and wild cherry are my favourites from Mancera. Choco violette is ok too, reminiscent of Nutella. Really want to get my hands on aoud lemon mint and aoud orchid.

Love me some Yana and her beautiful doggies! I have a German Shepard and a Russian Shepard. They are both rescues and I have times that I’m not so sure who rescued who.

Great fragrance haul! I have to thank you for recommending fragrancebuy, I have found great deals on some rare gems from their website...I have been considering buying instant crush but am so grateful to you for your honest review. I also totally agree with your review on Nina Ricci Rose Absolue, I think it’s a nice fragrance but certainly not a dupe to oud satin mood, and am happy I got it for a good price from fragrancebuy, many sellers have raised the price to around $200USD (simply because FK made it)

Nice haul! Sicily is one I wanna try. I actually like Instant Crush lol and luckily don't get the nasty note u described, trying to forget about it so I don't pick it up next time I wear it lol. Maybe Montale Sensual Instinct would be better for u and if I remember correctly it has some coffee too and rose that gives it a bit of a similarity to Intense Cafe. As u mentioned ppl say those 2 smell like BR540 but not really there is just a vaguely similar sweetness maybe. Ive not heard anyone talk about Cruel Gardenia so enjoyed hearing about it, sounds great and what an awesome find! Take care and thanks. - Colin

I really recommend you try Mancera Aoud Cafe. It is the perfect woody, smokey, Black coffee and a beast of a performance as well. You get the just the slightest hint of sweetness. It is the perfect coffee scent for a woman Who knows what she wants.❤️

Hahaha I had a similar reaction to Instant Crush last week. 🤣 But to me, it's really is just a slighly less tolerable BR540. I sprayed it on a scarf, and when I put it back in the closet, everything in there smelled of the stuff (and still does!). Ditto with Oud for Greatness, except that perfume is simply untolerable to my nose. BR540 + dank chemical wood. Great to see you picked up Pi Extreme though! I literally got it just to layer with since the original is a pretty complete fragrance on its own. That Nina Ricci is really nice too. Not a bad Valentine's day scent! ❤️
