Mancera Red Tobacco or broken dreams

After I became interested in perfumery, I constantly saw reviews and reviews of Mancera products.

A special piquancy was added by the fact that the majority of the community who tried the perfume from Mancera spoke about the need to sample the selected fragrance in a small volume of one or five milliliters before buying. I thought: "Well, we can do it!".

And so I coveted Mancera Red Tobacco, but the green toad stubbornly choked me and did not allow the plan according to which I wanted to buy most of the flavors from Gerini that I could buy — I really liked them.

Every day I read reviews of the fragrance and they are already memorized. My passion for fragrances could not exceed the reality of being able to afford no more than one fragrance per month.

It should be clarified here that I have a special vision for perfumery, instilled from Soviet times — now it is called "Quiet Luxury". The point is not to have a fragrance that immediately sweeps you off your feet when applied, but a cumulative effect. That is, a mild fragrance slowly spreads from the body to the clothes, creating over time a kind of aromatic haze from the person, which layers every day, getting a dense, confident fragrance. Based on this, the perfume should be: from the category of perfumes, and not any toiletry / perfumed waters and colognes, which have time to fade in a short time without creating a base for the next layer; it must be applied to the body, on which the perfume will react with the skin.

It is also worth noting that the currently fashionable method of applying perfumes to clothes has always been the plebs method, which had only one aromatic composition of a concentration level, such as lotion / cologne, which quickly peels off human skin, and applying it to clothes increases the duration of the smell. Also, applying perfumes to clothes always excludes the use of different scents during the day / several days, as it creates a terrible mess of smells, especially from perfumes of the low price segment. Applying any kind of perfume to clothes has always been considered a sign of bad taste in the USSR and has always been frowned upon.

At the moment, it seems to me that a peculiar version of the fragrances from Gerini will be able to completely cover my needs and wearing habits. It's hard to explain it in words, there's something about them that's unclear.

Let's return to the wishlist from Mancera. There are no perfume shops in our town, but I was treated to a small zilch of Mancera Red Tobacco. From the bottle, I immediately smelled the pungent scent of piano polish, which is unmistakable. The smell was even harsher and sharper from the stain on the body. Now I understood what the owner of the bottle smelled like when the girls in the office shied away from him — the unpleasant stench of the varnish scared off even very loyal people.

I put on a thick, real hoodie (not the kind that Chinese Europeans produce now), the smell began to penetrate through the thick fabric. After a few hours, this pesky, pervasive stench caused a headache. I decided to wash my hand, but it was difficult to wash my hand, but this action was useless — it started to stink again, but this time from the hoodie. It was only after five or six hours that the smell began to calm down and acquire the smell of parquet varnish on the dried parquet. When I got home, the hoodie had to be thrown into the laundry.
The action reminded me of the scents Black Afgano by Nasomatto and French Avenue Azzure Aoud by Fragrance World Perfumes, when an impossible stench makes you want to go under water and wash everything off. Interestingly, from the persistent Liquid Brun and Liquid Brun Limited Edition from Fragrance World, although they are also quite heavy fragrances. It's probably just my brain's perception. But the reaction of others says that it is the same for most healthy people.

That's how dreams come crashing down.

However, there are advantages to everything: the green toad saved me from the pointless purchase of a full-size bottle, which I most likely would have thrown away, since the fragrance would have drowned out all the scents in the perfume cabinet. A bad experience is also an experience and will teach me to buy perfume samples first. And only then buy full-size vials.

Speaking of vials. A novice lover of perfumes, like me, immediately purchases a bottle of one hundred milliliters or more. As you use it, it becomes clear that a bottle of 100 milliliters is enough for about one year, depending on the flavor and use, and it becomes clear that having several bottles of 100 milliliters, some bottles will not live to the end of the manufacturer's usual three-year shelf life. It is clear that high-quality perfumes can live longer, as was the case with perfumes produced before the 2000s, but this is not guaranteed. Every year, many components are removed from perfume compositions due to European requirements, but only experienced users and specialists can buy perfumes for future use in order to preserve the original fragrance.

I also came to the conclusion that due to the fact that modern chemical perfumes cannot retain their fragrance for a long time and, in order to increase the duration of the sound, the concentration of components increases, which leads to the fact that after applying perfumes, a person smells of something hellish and unbearable that has nothing to do with a light aromatic haze. natural high-quality perfume oils.
