Velvety soft rose petals blended with citrus and sweet fruits create a light, fresh effect. That fruity sweetness reminds me of a faint hint of tuti-frutti gum, and combined with the rose, it makes me think the name is a mistake; for me, this should be called “So rose.” I see it as more feminine than unisex. The downside is that its fruity sweetness smells like many other perfumes (like CK Women EDT, Juicy Flowers, Erba Pura), but as a rose lover, I loved it from the moment I tried a decant and couldn’t resist buying the 120 ml bottle.
Excellent aroma with great longevity. There’s nothing quite like it.
Excellent scent with amazing longevity. Nothing else compares to it.
So Blue is floral and fruity, reminding me of the Pleasures perfume. It has a strong opening; on my skin it lasts about 6 hours before fading to a subtle scent, though it lingers a bit longer on clothes. I understand it’s unisex, but in my opinion, this floral leans more feminine.
I’d describe it roughly as fruity-floral. Performance is excellent, lasting around 8 hours on skin. It’s unisex with a feminine lean. It contains rose and fruits worth checking out. If you’re a man who likes to smell like a macho man, this isn’t for you. But if you’re a man or woman who enjoys fruity notes with sweet roses or simply loves canned peach notes, you’ll probably love it.
I tried it with decants of four Mancera fragrances a friend gifted me: Aoud Lemon Mint, Cedrat Boise, Lemon Line, and the one that captivated me most was So Blue. I agree with the previous review: although it’s unisex, it leans heavily feminine due to the aquatic notes, rose, musk, and peach. On my skin, it has exceptional performance. I haven’t been this fascinated by a fragrance in a long time; it’s so eager to be on my wishlist for this summer season.
I perceive it as very unisex, with rose, aquatic, and musk notes, and among the fruity ones, I definitely detect the peach that lingers all day. It’s a great option for summer, though too feminine for my taste. In the end, I ended up selling this fragrance because it felt too feminine and simple; I didn’t want to own something I wouldn’t wear.
