I’m writing another review after using Cedrat Boise for over 3 months. It’s not nearly anything like Aventus; it has the fruity part, but that’s it. As its name says, it opens with a great citrus opening (hence the name Cedrat), which then transforms into woody and VERY fruity nuances; as the perfume advances, even more smoky nuances emerge for me, smelling like a less bright version of the perfume, in a good sense. Longevity on skin is 6-7 hours, projection is strong for 2 hours. When I first bought it, I didn’t quite understand the hype, but through use, I developed a huge taste for this perfume. Citrus and fruity bomb, versatile to no end. It seems like a blind buy if you want it to be your first “niche” as it was in my house.
Many people compare or liken it to Aventus, Hacivat, or Xplorer, and well, being a Fruity Chypre, I understand their references, but don’t close your minds; it’s a different interpretation. I’ll make a reference to car types: for example, muscle cars; they won’t tell you a Mustang is “equal” to a Camaro; they’re the same type/family of cars that share certain muscle car characteristics but with a different interpretation. Similarly, Cedrat Boise is Pierre Montale’s Fruity Chypre interpretation. Here, the name indicates where the interpretation goes: cider and cedar as protagonists. It comes out sharp with those citrus notes, feeling bubbly, especially the citrus cider (very peculiar). At 5 minutes, the base notes start balancing the fragrance; the cedar with a touch of suede persists throughout the fragrance’s life but plays with the fruit combo, especially the blackcurrant with the vanilla, which in the dry-down can remind you of Nishane Ani for that sweet vanilla with wood that balances it. All-terrain, a 4×4 fragrance where in the heat it stands out more, and wow with sweat/movement makes it project more.
The opening with citrus notes lasts almost an instant because I immediately perceive the leather smell, similar to burnt wood; pleasant. It evolves into a fruity and woody aroma framed by musk, which, without being the same, resembles ARMAF’s Club de Nuit Intense Man.
Just acquired, I can say it’s everything one could expect from this perfume. It does have an opening similar to Creed Aventus due to the combination of lemon and bergamot with the smoky woods in the background; however, while Creed stays in that dark wood, here a clean, slightly animalic but not difficult scent prevails, with a bit of leather, at least that’s what I perceive. Easy to like, ideal for practically any occasion, and with quality more than enough, which, given the price, is an important point to highlight.
After using it for several days, I can say that on my skin, it only smells like smoky wood after the opening, which is a bit lemony. It feels like good quality, and I imagine those with my skin pH are the ones who say it resembles Aventus. A good perfume if you like the smoky touch.
Total disappointment. I fell for the hype of many reviewers saying this was a safe purchase to start with niches. It smells like woods and nothing else; I don’t even feel the citrus opening at all, it doesn’t project, leaves no trail, and the longevity is average to mediocre. I have the bottle almost new; I’m definitely getting rid of it, and I truly don’t recommend it.
I’m writing a review. I own several perfumes—not many niche ones, but plenty of Arabic and designer scents. I don’t know what it was like before; now, it’s a fragrance that doesn’t bother anyone. You get compliments when you greet people after spraying it a few times. For me, it does its job (I think), it’s my work signature: 4×4 vibes, no nonsense, nothing to draw attention. Fruits and woods, according to the best of them, Perfume Man Andrés. Please, Hacivat, and honestly, I’m sticking with this one aromatically. That said, Hacivat was crazy in terms of projection and longevity, but when it comes to scent, I’m staying with Cedrat Boise. No beast mode and that’s a good thing!
Well, like many others, this perfume was my entry into the niche world. Looking at the notes, it seemed like a perfect match for me—I was searching for a woodsy, vanilla-scented fragrance for summer, and at its price point, it was one of the few I could afford. I ordered the largest decant and gave it every chance. I had high expectations, and it completely disappointed me. From the very first use, it left an oily stain on my skin; it’s clear this isn’t your typical drugstore perfume—you have to give it a chance—but even on the first sniff, I frowned. It’s more ruthless than expected: I don’t detect any citrus at all, maybe a fleeting hint of lime’s acidity and a bit of bergamot, nothing noteworthy; the Sicilian lemon from a lesser fragrance like LB Summer Vibes makes it look shameful. Straining to smell the blackcurrants, but to be honest, I prefer AB’s Blue Seduction interpretation, which costs a sixth of what this does. This mix could simply be called Boise, or Cedrat BOISE-BOISE, so buyers know what they’re getting; the woody accord in the pyramid should step out of the screen to be authentic. That wood, which I understand is sandalwood, combined with those spicy notes, takes over the fragrance immediately and never lets go. The so-called spices are the worst: they aren’t aromatic, they aren’t pleasant, they’re vague and harsh, and they cause olfactory fatigue. What fruit is supposed to be in this? It declares fruity notes? It could just as well declare varnished or siliconed notes; it’s a rip-off. In the dry-down, it becomes more pleasant when the vanilla emerges, but it’s still nothing special; I’ve heard of better ones, and it’s not what I’d expect from a niche perfume. It lasts less than promised, about 6 hours on my skin; I had to ask for help to verify it because if I smell myself more than 3 times, I don’t feel anything, and no one has liked it. “Meh” is the best I’ve received when smelling it directly from the neck because it projects nothing. I live in a hot area, and below 35 degrees, I don’t even notice I’m wearing it; with heat, it projects a bit more, but there are designer fragrances that outshine it. I know many buy niche to stand out, but I think it’s good that it’s not scandalous because it’s not charming. They say this perfume is unisex, guys, not everything with vanilla is unisex; this perfume would seem like a scandalous drag queen to Matilda’s Director Tronchatoro, with apologies to the ladies who wear it. I read that reformulations had destroyed this perfume, and it must be the case, because I don’t feel like I’ve encountered that perfumery legend that was hyped so much. It’s a soulless perfume, a medley of mediocre notes that have already been done better in designer fragrances; as a perfumer, I thought I was leveling up in note quality, and instead, I found a new appreciation for my budget perfumes. No doubt it’s not for me; I don’t pay a quarter of what they ask for it, which isn’t even that much to be niche, which is praiseworthy. It’s a pity, I was really looking forward to this house, and now I’m a sea of doubts. 4/10. I don’t recommend it to anyone; as a community, we need to find new perfumes that act as gateways to the niche.
It smells curious, as if it wants to be woody, spicy, and fruity, but it’s a jumble in my nose that I don’t understand; it’s not for me, it doesn’t smell bad, but it doesn’t smell good either. In the end, I understood it better: it’s not something I like much, but it’s interesting. I tried Aventus for a friend, and on the opening, it reminded me of it quite a bit; I couldn’t check the dry-down. Let’s say Cedrat would be a lighter version and Aventus the one with more body and strength, with a better-executed combination of notes, which would make many say they don’t resemble each other, but the DNA is there. They could be alternatives to each other; it’s recommended to try first.
I tried a new batch and wasn’t expecting much. But surprise: first, the longevity (in my personal case) lasted longer than the previous formulation, and I like it more. Here, the fruity notes are more green apple alongside the blackcurrants, giving it a spectacular touch. The leather doesn’t bother and adds a more serious, formal vibe, making the fragrance more versatile; the vanilla part is probably the most calming, giving it a “unisex” feel. The projection is moderate but constant for the first 2 hours, then it calms down a bit but stays there… it’s a very well-rounded fragrance.
I was really eager to smell this famous perfume. Upon spraying it, I found a very familiar scent with a fragrance I bought blind 25 years ago and disliked because it was spicy, intense, masculine, serious, with a vintage touch: COLORS by Benetton Man, in a blue pentagon-shaped bottle, which I ended up hating after paying for it with my student savings. Both share key notes: lemon in the opening, jasmine in the heart, and sandalwood with vanilla in the base. If you can still find COLORS, you can get CEDRAT for a tiny fraction. This makes me realize that many trendy, relevant fragrances were completely inspired by previous scents.
When I first got it, it smelled of oakmoss, reminding me of vintage perfumes, with a bit of citrus at the start and that’s about it. I thought it wasn’t worth it since I already had Supremacy Not Only, which seemed very similar. Four months have passed, and I’m glad I didn’t sell or gift it; now it lasts much longer, is more intense, and the scent is super different. It smells of woods with citrus and a soft vanilla, sweet base. I love it, it easily lasts 8 hours, and projects very well for the first 2 hours. I think it’s a mix between an Ani and a Creed, two great but much more expensive perfumes.
Honestly, I didn’t like it. I thought I’d find an Aventus-style profile, but honestly, I’m having trouble finding it. It opens somewhat citrusy, not sharp, but blended with a fruity, woody, and smoky scent that doesn’t change much. Leather and vanilla play in the background, but the result feels synthetic, weird to me, and reminds me a lot of Hypogloss (zinc oxide cream).
It’s one of the few fragrances where when I put it on, I say: ‘How good this smells!’ It seems quite discreet, office-type; not flashy, but it’s a pleasure to wear.
It smells like burnt grass, like what’s used in indigenous rituals; it doesn’t disgust me, but it doesn’t enchant me either. Don’t recommend it if you don’t like strong grassy scents.
I must say, I don’t usually give many compliments. I got this to start my niche journey, and it’s a tremendous option. But honestly, this perfume has something that captivates the opposite sex. Almost every time strangers have asked me about my perfume, I’ve been wearing this Mancera.
I’m not an expert on notes, so I’ll be specific. It smells unisex: masculine opening, feminine dry-down. Not a blind buy, get a decant first. The opening is citrus-fruity; it resembles Aventus but then takes a different path. In the dry-down, I notice patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, and a slight smoky-creamy touch from spices and musk; plus, I detect leather close to the skin. Vanilla stands out. What’s impressive is that the citrus notes stay present for most of the perfume’s life. I’m still testing the duration, approx. 5-8 hours, but I’ll let it macerate to see. The trail is amazing: my room gets saturated with just two sprays and lasts at least 2 hours. The wonderful thing about niche perfumes is the sensations, not just good or bad smells; they’re experiences. It happened to me with Acqua di Parma: it brings back memories, and that’s valued. Anyway, I liked it, it’s perfect in the niche world. Note: I’m writing a week after using it. I retract my earlier comment; not only do I like it, I LOVE it! Now it’s my favorite.
For many, it’s Mancera’s flagship, a classic, but others surpass it. Cedrat Boise is fruity-woody. The opening is a potent bergamot reminiscent of Habit Rouge, but it fades in minutes, leaving a softer scent. Maybe that initial impact causes olfactory fatigue; I only smell it close to the skin after the first 2 hours, though it persists 6-8 hours on the skin. It hasn’t generated comments, good or bad. I recommend trying it before buying; don’t get swept up by the hype. Not at all recommended for anyone under 30, or guys under 20; you put it on and you look 40. For me, it’s a 7/10, I like it, but sometimes it bores me.
I’m sharing my experience after a decant from 4-5 years ago and a recent 120ml bottle. The scent is fruity-woody, nothing like Aventus or its clones; CB is fruitier, with less smoke and moss, leaving a very pleasant creamy vanilla base. As a pure fragrance, I stick with this CB: it’s more wearable, less heavy than the Creed DNA, and doesn’t smell like ‘I’ve heard this everywhere.’ Regarding performance, the controversial part: my decant was from 2020 or earlier, the current bottle is from 2024. Both last equally well, about 8 hours noticeably. It’s dense like an EDP but without exaggerated projection, perfect for me. Reviews claiming it lasts 2 hours or has no projection haven’t happened to me; in fact, it works better than Aventus. Conclusion: thrilled with the purchase, 4/4 for everything, optimal performance and quality scent that won’t offend. Totally recommended.
Works great for me, I love it and it’s perfect for any occasion. Not for beasts.
100% recognizable DNA. Yes, it smells very similar to Aventus, Hacivat, etc… a fruity chypre with nuances. Yes, but if you have one of the previous ones, it’s not worth having this one. Now, Cedrat Boise costs quite a bit less and performs very similarly (or even better). So if you ask me and you don’t have any from this family, buy Cedrat Boise without a doubt. It’s a perfume you’ll never go wrong with. Very versatile, everyone likes it, and it works well. A sure bet.
The opening is like an intense nightclub, a fragrance that carries apple and is more bearable. Cedrat Boise is a complex scent; the idea of a sharp citrus opening with woods followed by something sweet and soft seems like a clash that shouldn’t happen, yet they blend well. Several comments mention redundancy, and maybe it does so in the opening, but it maintains its own sweet style. The leather doesn’t feel like the spicy notes; it makes me feel like I’ve smelled it somewhere before. I feel I could get used to it over time, but sweet-citrus and wood with spices, what a mix; maybe it’s not my type. Maybe a bit of musk or apple would have made this fragrance another story, but it would be going back to the same story that it’s a clone of a clone of another perfume.
New acquisition: I tried it once to check the performance, and WOW, batch 2024. It comes out with very good sharp citrus, nothing like the CDNI mess many mention; it doesn’t smell fresh like a Dior Homme Cologne, but the citrus feels like it’s going to ‘darken’. The heart is very pleasant, probably my favorite part, with a classy and fruity vibe far from scents like Erba Gold or Erba Pura. When the woods/fruits/citrus meet, it seems exquisite, like it should have stayed in the dry down: cedar, sandalwood, and vanilla. This combo gives creamy woods and the vanilla feels very fine accompanying the main cedar note. I think the cedar might be confused with leather, because honestly, leather doesn’t appear on my nose. Performance: bottle opened yesterday at 9:30 PM, 2 sprays on the arm projected VERY strongly for 4 hours and still smell close to the skin today at 9:00 AM. Apparently, it’s one of those scents that causes olfactory fatigue in some people (especially if worn as a signature, I assume). I’ll eagerly wait for time to pass and for everything to ‘settle’; it seems to be one of those fragrances where the oxidation process improves noticeably, but so far WHAT A DELIGHT! P.S.: I haven’t tried Hacivat, I understand people talk about its resemblance to Aventus, CDNI, or Montblanc Explorer, but to be honest, this one has its own character. They simply belong to the same ‘type’ of aromas; it’s like saying SWY Intensely is a clone of Azzaro TMW Parfum or vice versa, both are sweet and that’s it.
Cedrat Boise is the illegitimate son of Aventus: sparkling citrus at the start, yes, but soon coated in synthetic vanilla and flat woods that sound like plastic. It starts with promises of elegant freshness and ends in an overstretched citrus caramel. It projects, lasts, and fills rooms without subtlety: a gym perfume, a new car scent, for someone who wants to make an impression even if there’s nothing to tell. It works, people like it, and you get compliments; but it lacks soul and has too much artifice. Cedrat Boise is a bright poster of a landscape that never existed.
Mother of the divine incarnate word! This is pure beauty and good taste, splendorous class and elegance. The cedar is so similar to vetiver, another note I love. The oakmoss, cedar, and patchouli become ambrosial, and the citrus touch is like the pearl on a crown. In the dry down, you get notes of musky strawberries and creamy leather with a soft vanilla hint. It doesn’t sound much like Aventus to me; rather, it reminds me of Givenchy’s PI, Picasso’s Minotaure, and Boss Bottled. It has left me head over heels for its cleanliness, and although vetiver isn’t listed, that herbal and sweet note is noticeable at the end. I’m simply loving it with reverence!
I’ve been wearing Dior Dune for years and just stumbled upon a bottle that smells 90% like my beloved Dune… Mancera Cedrat Boise. I’m going to buy a decant to check it out.
I really liked the opening and thought it was unisex up until that point, but then it got a bit weird. I should probably try it more thoroughly.
It’s the only leather scent I’ve ever worn that I actually like; it’s rich and feels masculine to me.
I got this in a 5ml decant and it reminded me a lot of Zara Vibrant L’Oud. While the note quality and longevity aren’t identical, they smell very similar once they dry down.
A good fragrance. At first, I didn’t like it, but after giving it some time, it became one of my favorites. It’s a well-balanced scent with citrus and a fruity touch.
It’s still working well for me despite the reformulation rumors. I don’t see much resemblance to Aventus or its clones. Cedrat Boise has a citrusy opening where the pineapple is a pleasant surprise. As it dries down, it gets richer with that vanilla undertone. It’s perfect for everything: from running errands at the grocery store to attending a wedding. Definitely a 10/10.
It’s a fragrance that walks the path of Creed Aventus but doesn’t claim to be the same, unlike CDN Intense or other cheap alternatives you smell everywhere. It’s not a fragrance to buy blindly, but it’s still a great everyday perfume.
When I read reviews, it often feels like they’re talking about a different perfume. I can’t believe there are people who don’t notice the citrus aspect. Cedrat Boise is a citrus orgy in its opening, a real spectacle. The dry down is charming, with a very cozy woody base. I’ve never understood the Aventus comparison. I like both, but they aren’t comparable. Cedrat Boise has its own personality, and what a personality. A 10 out of 10.
I just smelled it; I was so curious. It feels like another member of the Aventus club, which I’m not a fan of. That said, the quality seemed better than at least some Arabic fragrances, and it feels more harmonious and consistent. Despite its resemblance to all these other scents, I think it does have its own personality. If you like the Aventus DNA, you might like it. I don’t, but at least now I’ve gotten it off my chest.
After a citrusy start, in the Aventus style, a blend of green notes rises up, with airiness that, in my opinion, reminds me of CK Escape for Men.
The leather note is very prominent; if you don’t like leather notes, this perfume isn’t for you. It lasts well and projects well.
The name says it all: citrus and leather. The opening is bright and addictive—citrus and fruit with lots of energy. The comparison to Aventus stays on the surface. If you only focus on the opening, you might fall into that parallel. It evolves quickly, calms down, and becomes more serious after a few minutes, as if the fun time is over. On my skin, it goes straight to suede and leather. Elegant, polished, very ‘well-dressed office,’ but I don’t connect with this vibe.
Rich, rich, incredibly rich. It has that Aventus vibe, hashish, and company, but with its own personality. It’s extremely addictive, though in my first tests right out of the box, it felt short-lived (or at least, the scent faded after three hours). We’ll keep giving this unfairly maligned fragrance another shot.
I picked this up because it was rumored to be similar to Aventus, but the opening smelled bitter and citrusy, so I wasn’t sure I’d like it. It evolved into orange leaf notes and then a burst of aromatic herbs—an absolutely delicious scent. Shortly after, it transformed into a mossy forest; I was blown away by its evolution! But it didn’t stop there; later, it smelled like a sweet, exquisite lemonade. This is the perfume with the most evolution I’ve found, a true gem in perfumery. It has the Aventus DNA but with its own personality, and it’s already among my favorites. The longevity and projection are good; it’s a stylish fragrance.
What stands out most are the fruits paired with a very pleasant leather base, making it great for daily wear. At this point, there’s no need to compare it to Aventus. It shares some similarities, but calling it an alternative with the same DNA is like comparing Sauvage to Baccarat Rouge 540 just because they’re both ‘blue’ scents.
