Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I tried it half an hour ago and it’s already almost gone; it sounds more like moisturizer stuck to the skin. I don’t get what’s going on.
I love Ariana, it’s very original. If you know Montale or Mancera perfumes, you won’t have any trouble with its strong opening, character, and presence. It has good longevity if you apply the drops correctly. I recommend it 100%, greetings.
It’s a beautiful perfume, the first one I bought from Mancera. I expected a stronger oud, something more in the Arab style, but it’s simply a very soft and feminine rose scent. It should be called ‘rose bouquet’ or something like that. I repeat: it’s gorgeous.
This is a perfume with a lot of character: at first it shocks you because it’s different, then it hooks you. It’s a beast in projection, ideal for winter. In enclosed spaces, it’s intrusive and would suffocate those around you due to its strength. It’s for sophisticated noses; few will understand it. It’s elegant for men and women, it empowers a lot, I label it ‘I’m the boss’. Be careful, I’m going strong. The oud is balanced with rose, jasmine, and cedar; the peach is noticeable at the start but then loses strength. If you’re thinking of buying it, do it for three reasons: original, powerful, and extreme longevity. From my Mancera collection, it’s the one I use for night outs or high-stress work meetings. Keep up with my pace.
I bought it blind after a deal on a popular website at a ridiculous price (53€ for 120 ml). I thought it would be a ‘beast’ as they say on Fragrantica, but it wasn’t for me. Its rose and oud scent is very relaxed, not very sweet, not very spicy; I perceive it as more masculine due to the cedar and that sober, discreet tone. I expected much more and I think I’ll gift it or try layering it with vanilla to give it more flair.
